DIY | Turn Your Old Jeans into a Skirt

Have you ever wanted a jean skirt, but could never find one you liked in the stores or, one at all?!? Well, I have struggled with that problem since I outgrew my old jean skirt.  :) My solution was to turn a pair of my very old jeans into a skirt. Problem solved.




 
This skirt is very simple and easy to make. It only took me about 15 minutes to whip up this skirt. Plus, I added two fun trims, brown bias tape for the hem and cotton lace for the insert in the front.

I got the idea on how to make the skirt here: http://www.savvyseams.com/clothing/jeanskirt.php

  5. It looks like you did the "two panel" method, rather than 4 panels. I have an abundance of jean skirts, but I may just have to do this so I have a shorter skirt to wear with boots. Thanks!
