Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I went op shopping the other day and found some really cool guys shirt and deiced to buy them and make them into some cloths, I’d seen plenty of people all ready do it on here so i thought I’d jump on the bag wagon too. I’m reasonably happy with how it turned out, but hopefully with more practice they will start getting better. I really had no clue what i was doing with the closure/waste band so its a bit retarded and messy, but it does the job. I have 5 other shirts to play with so stay tuned!

I think the skirt looks great and is a good idea! One question – how did you do your waistband? Did youjust double up some material and sew the body of the skirt to it?

The waist band was bits and pieces, i cut two pieces form the sleeves and sewed them in the back then sewed them onto the body of the skirt. I also took the buttons and button holes from the top part of the shirt and sewed them on also, quite strange how i did it… i then folded it over and stitched in the ditch and did a retarded thing with the button side of the waist band as shown
