begin with an unflattering skirt

preferably in a jersey knit
* I don't doubt these skirts will come back in style, and while it does hit at the right point of my knee to flatter my leg, there's too much going on around the waist, which is supposed to sit on the hips = unflattering.
What to do with it?

Cut it!

* Lying flat, measure up about 5-6 inches from the bottom and make a cut at the side seam. You may choose to cut both layers together {carefully} or cut a single layer all the way around
Creating . . .
an infinity scarf

* I wrapped mine three times for a layered look ...twisting it will give it a knew look
Or ...cut it at a seam

and wear it as a belt

or wear it as a turban

This easy DIY most resembles the Unisex Circle Scarf and the Unisex Jersey Scarf both from American Apparel. This little guy really has endless wearable options. See what you can come up with.
Have Fun!

This is an amazing DIY. So many looks to choose from!
Well done.
My fave was the scarf -
While watching the video I freaked a little thinking
"dude she posted the wrong video, this is a striptease for her husband" but then I saw it was just me thinking the wrong thing!
I love this! I have plenty of clothes that I need to cut up and revamp. :) The belt look is my favorite! And I loved when you threw the scissors down on the patio. It kind of cracked me up. :)
The belt was my fav - the scarf was cute 2... Thanks!! :)
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
...i am currently searching my house for skirts I can destroy...lol
Hah, great, it seems like you always have fun with your DIYs. I like the turban look the most, it suits you really well!
And your sunglasses are sexy!
Peace and love!
Great DIY. Super easy, and with so many different ways to wear it.
Thanks!

OMG! I just did the same thing with a leopard mini skirt I found at Goodwill. I knew the skirt was too short for my 52 year old self, but loved the material and knew I could use it for something. Brought it home, cut it in two pieces and sewed it back together. One infinity scarf for me and one for my daughter!
i've been cutting clothes i don't wear since i was a girl. i have lots of scarves/belts from the oh so popular jersey skirt phase! great post as always!
wow, great idea!

So, I've been saying for ages that I was going to try one of your DIYs and as I'm fairly craft gene deficient, it hasn't happened yet...BUT I do have the materials for this one. I think it's time!
You're so crafty! I think I like the infinity scarf the most.

Love this idea! I literally just looked at a pile of old jersey skirts I have in my closet yesterday and was wondering what to do with them! Because you are right - so not flattering!

Giving me ideas on what to do with skirts!!!

Love your DIY projects and that you never know what you can get out of an old piece of clothing that you would otherwise throw away.
My personal favourite is the scarf

very cool. i've been wanting to do with a t-shirt, but have the perfect jersey skirt to do this with. any diy or styling tips if i wanted to do the pulled fringe with a jersey skirt? I've been trying to see a clean shot of Project Runway's April and the way she wears her charcoal grey fringed scarf, but have been unsuccessful.
I clicked over from Chic-steals and think this DIY is fabulous! I have two of these skirts that I don't love anymore AND they hit way too low on my leg to be flattering. Thanks for the inspiration to finally do something about them!
