When I was moving out of my dorm room at the end of the last school year, I snagged one of my roommate’s bed sheets. It was a plain white sheet, with a simple black polka dotted border running along the hem. She had been planning to throw it away, but I thought the sheet would make a really great yet simple skirt so I asked her if I could take the sheet. She let me keep the sheet and I set about trying to find a pattern/tutorial to turn a bed sheet into a skirt.

My Bed Sheet Skirt

I found this tutorial on how to turn a bed sheet into a simple skirt in around half an hour. It was exactly what I was looking for, and as you can see in my June Every Hour on the Hour post, I set about making my skirt. After some measuring, cutting, lots of hemming, and more measuring, my finished result was exactly the skirt I had imagined when I first saw the bed sheet. Plain and simple, yet trendy and stylish, the fullness of the skirt is perfect for a light summer day, and the white contrasted with the black polka dots match very nicely with my black flats!

If only I had more bed sheets lying around that would make fantastic skirts…
