The problem was that it was $98 and it looked like way too much fabric for me.  So I made myself a more wearable version.  Here’s how:

I bought 8 plaid shirts from Goodwill (I only needed 2-3).  I cut the backs, fronts and sleeves from the shirts.

Next I cut the fabric into wide strips and sewed them together in a more or less patchwork pattern.

This patchwork became the fabric that I used to sew a basic maxi shirt with a pocket.  The skirt is basically a big tube with an elastic waist.  It’s a great project for beginners.

After i made this skirt I had a LOT of scraps left over.

My pile of scraps included a couple of pairs of men’s lounge pants and several shirts in VERY ratty condition.

One pair of lounge pants became a pencil skirt.

Another pair of lounge pants became a frayed hem peplum skirt.  I like the frayed hem on this skirt but I added fray check to make sure that it doesn’t fray too far.

Using an old pair of jeans, I made a tea length skirt.

Finally, I used the bodice of a shirt to make this duster. 

 I’m DYING to wear this with my leather leggings, and a black tank top this fall.
