But I love it and have worn it a ton since making it!

I'm a sort of "intermediate beginner" sewist and made a few things for a recent holiday that I will dig up pics and post about here over the next few days.

But one of those things was just this really basic tiered skirt from a bedsheet that I got for £2 at a charity shop. Can't go wrong for that price and a couple of hours work! Followed this WikiHow tutorial for sizes etc.

The sheet was a single, so wasn't quite big enough to get as much gathering on the bottom tier as I'd planned. But whatever.

Didn't even end up wearing this one on holiday but it's been great for flouncing around the house in, and that's a win in my book 😀

Sometimes it's the simple projects that bring the most joy!

Disagree, it's a beautiful color and it looks very comfy, which makes it exciting to me! The fact that it's from a sheet is even better, because dang I love a good deal.

Thanks, as soon as I saw the sheet I was like oh yes, that colour is going in my collection! Picked up a red one too but that project is still in progress 😄

This is great work! This is going to go on the project list for sure. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours, it's lovely.

Thank you! Really easy, although if you make it as written there's no side seam for pockets so if I did it again (and not, like, in a mad rush the day before going on holiday 😅) I'd probably change that.

Gorgeous colour, I love it! Creating things from thrift is the best feeling to me

Absolutely! My grandma was very invested when I was deciding what to do with the sheet, think the final thing blew her mind a little bit 😆
