Hi! :)  Long time lurker, first time poster...

Anyway, I suddenly find myself with about four large light blue oxford men's shirts. (My employer has recently changed the dress code, and I'm left with useless shirts.) I have a vague idea of maybe making a skirt out of one of them. I seem to remember seeing a skirt made out of an old Western-style men's button-up, but I have no idea how it would be done.

So my questions are: anybody have a tutorial for turning a men's shirt into a skirt? OR anybody have a better idea of what to do with these old things??


Note: There is a small, machine-embroidered logo above the right pocket which I would like to cover. I was thinking a patch... but I don't know. It's a little too close to the pocket to be able to cut it off and I'm not sure if I could rip out that much stitching.

PS - Mad props to anyone who knows the 'mystery employer'! ;)

Thanks! Happy crafting!
