Baby Tie Skirt

I made a tie skirt for myself a few years back. My dad wanted to get rid of a bunch of ties so I told him I would gladly take them off his hands. I am definately not a good seamstress by any means but I can accept how this little skirt turned out. (You will want to use the skinny part of the tie for this skirt. If you were to make an adult one, you would use the widest part of your ties.)

 

What you will need: 

-At least 12 ties

-1/2 yard of tulle

-fabric to line inside

-sewing machine

-elastic

1. First thing you want to do it cut open the back of the ties (see picture).  And the sew the ties together.

2. It will look like crap but don't worry about that just yet. Now you can sew on the inside lining and tulle.

3. Then fold over the top inside of the skirt and place elastic inside. Sew shut. It helps to have a color of thread that won't stand out...I didn't have any obviously.

 

Really you can just make it up as you go...that's what I did.
