The Circle Skirt

I came across a splendid pin last week and inspired by Dana I've decided to give this skirt a go. As my blog suggests the skirt is meant to come from up-cycled items and therefore today I went through the bags-worth of clothes I had lined up for the bin and fished out a black halter-neck cotton shirt which fits too loosely and a white cotton shirt which belongs to days gone by when showing off my belly button was fashionable.
I cut out the pattern, the four quarters too and baste the four pieces together in a black-white-black-white fashion. Unfortunately the only elastic I managed to find is an inch-thick one, which had to do.
After much asnipping, asewing and aknotting, to my daughter's joy (and my pride) here is the end result!
