My Bed Sheet Skirt
June 24th, 2009 | Categories: Crafting | 10 CommentsWhen 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. 
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…

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
Love it! And you can get some pretty cheap sheets at thrift shops :-)
That’s super cute, Manda! :D
WTF? Why can’t I do things like that? >3< That's really awesome, though. It looks great! I would totally wear a skirt like that, and I never wear them.
That’s so creative! :O If only I had some old bedsheets lying around that my mom wouldn’t mind me cutting up.
Very cool! You are most talented Miss Manda!
That looks really creative. :3
That’s awesome and so cute! I wish I was that creative. maybe I should look for some unused bedsheets. :)
Oh wow that is adorable! Sewing is one of the ways that I fail at domesticness (the other ways being… anything that is not baking :P). I’d love to be able to learn, though! I’m going to bookmark the tutorial!
that is so cute! i wish i knew how to sew, i bet it’ll cut off my shopping expenses. :P
Good way of recycling! Very tempted to note this down for the future…
