Video: How to Add Ruffles to a T-shirt Skirt

So last week I listed two new easy skirt patterns. One is for making a skirt out of a T-shirt and the other turns a men's button-down shirt into a skirt.

My favorite is the one made out of a T-shirt. How can you go wrong with soft, stretchy knit? They're easy to make, easy to wear, and easy to fancy-up a bit.

Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing a few tutorials for dressing up the hem of a plain skirt. I'm starting with the easiest method this week - using some of the scraps from your T-shirt (sleeves are especially great) to add a bit of ruffle to the hem of the finished skirt. 

I added just one demure little ruffle to the hem of this skirt for me. Jo wanted two rows on her skirt.

This is SO easy - and a great way to use up those last few scraps from turning a T-shirt into a skirt. And I'm making the lesson extra easy for you. :-) There's the video up at the top of this post - and I also have a printable tutorial. It's the same info - just in two different formats.

To recap:
