Shirt into toddler cheer skirt

Well, here is my first post! Wow, I’ve been itching to do this forever. Anyway, I’ve been thinking my little girl needs to be the cheerleader for my son’s t-ball team, the Marlin’s, black and turquoise. It just so happens that my husband tossed a black Harley Davidson shirt on my craft shelf, he said didn’t fit right. So I decided to cut it up and make that little cheer skirt I’ve been thinking about. I was going to buy the fabric, but Craig insisted I not buy what I don’t need. So, I took this...

Then did this...

And this...

Then sewed the pleats and used the arm cuffs as a bias tape for the top and got this...

I am very excited for the way it worked out and my daughter actually loves it! :-) 

I hope you’ll stop by again to see what else I am sewing.
