Handkerchief Skirt w/ Roll Down Waistband from hand-me-down t shirts

This instructable will show you how to make a handkerchief skirt, by cutting panels, and a bit of math. It will also show you how to make a "yoga-style" roll down waistband that could be put on any skirt or bottom.

Step 1 Supplies

Supplies:
-scissors
-sewing machine
-thread
-measuring tape
-sewing pins

-Choosing a Material:
So you're going to need material. You can buy fabric, I'd suggest a cotton/lycra blend, or something that's a bit stretchy. In this, I use hand-me-down t shirts.

-Amount of Material:
For a size 6ish women's, I use 3 mens shirts in this, but I would suggest at least one more so that it flows a bit better.
More panels = more frills

If you were buying fabric, for the same size skirt, I'd say at least 3 yds.

you can use different colors, or patterns, or different patterns, whatever you like.
