A lot of things can be sewn from a men's shirt. The main thing is to be able to fantasize or look on the Internet what people make from it. Just like women's clothing, men's shirts go out of fashion. Here it hangs in the closet, a shirt like a shirt, but the collar is big, the cuffs on the sleeves are not very, too small or, on the contrary, too wide. One thing this type of clothing has in common is good shirt fabric. Most often, it is of excellent quality, does not wash out and does not fade. Therefore, you can safely alter shirts and sew women's blouses, dressing gowns, shorts, as well as interior items - pillows, curtains, napkins. It is interesting to alter such things, since some of the seams and pockets are preserved and there is less work. A full-fledged skirt can also be made from a shirt. If the shirt is large, then it is quite enough for sewing without any inserts. If you have a size 50+, then stripes from the sleeves can be inserted into the side seams of the skirt and the size will increase significantly. Even using all the pieces of the shirt for the inserts and belt, the skirt will turn out quite decent. My shirt is large. 1) First, I cut off the collar and sleeves. 2) I drew diagonal lines for the side seams of the skirt, thereby cutting off the armhole of the shirt. 3) I ripped the bottom of the shirt so that I could carefully hem it again later. 4) My shirt is long enough to tuck it at the waist. If not, use all the cut pieces. 5) I tucked the fabric at the waist and stitched it. 6) Then I took a 3 cm wide elastic band, marked its width and stitched another line, and got a drawstring. 7) There was 1 cm left at the top for gathering. 8) I inserted the elastic band and stitched the edges. I also stitched the elastic band along the side seams so that it would not turn over when worn. 9) I made a loop and sewed on a button on the waist. 10) I sewed straps and a long belt from the leftover fabric. 11) This is how easy and simple it is to turn a man's shirt into a summer women's skirt. Trying it on. Try it and you will see that an old shirt is suitable not only for rags. All the best to you!
