Mickey Mouse Disneyland Skirt made from Tee Shirt





Saw a well worn Disneyland tee shirt...their classic font......and knew what I had to do.
M-I-C-K-E-Y....

a. Cut across top for straight-ish line.
b. Cut off sleeves.
c. Sew side seams..which really just closes up the holes you made by cutting the sleeves off the
    body...it make a little funky side seaming, but looks like an arrow in a way.  The seam stops at low      hip  (where the cut from the sleeve was), as this tee was circular (no side seams).
d. Cut sleeves in half, sew strips together lengthwise to form waistband for elastic/drawstring.
    You could just fold over the top of the tee, but I wanted "Disneyland" a little lower on the body,
    so I needed to add some "length" via the top to drop the word down.
e. Sew waistband strip to top of tee.
f. Insert elastic or drawstring.
g. Smile.

Found another one...did it again. This time, pictures of process.
