$3.88 Walmart Tank into Pencil Skirt

I have a new fetish for knit pencil skirts. I have had a hard time finding knit that I like in my local fabric stores. I know I can order online but for some reason I like to feel it first. So, when I saw these knit tank tops at my local Walmart for $3.88, I knew I could make them into a new, cheap, cute skirt.

1. Buy a tank at Walmart. There are tons to choose from and different colors and patterns. I bought the XL because I wanted the length but you can buy whatever you think.

2. Cut the top of the tank off. Stay as close as you can so you can keep as much length.

3. I brought my sides in a little to square it up, and give it more of the pencil look. I serged mine but you can sew and then zigzag if you don't have a serger.

4. I serged across the top to give it a finished look, but you could once again zigzag.

5. I then turned up my stitch length

6. I sewed across the top to gather it just a bit.

7. I measured my waste and cut my elastic for my waste band. I used 2 inch elastic. Sew the ends together.

8. Pin the waste band inside the skirt with the right sides together.

9. There you have it! A new, cheap, easy skirt!!!
