So, being the packrat that I am, I have a lot of old jeans that I can't wear out in public but also just can't throw away. Luckily, this pair was only worn out down the leg so I was able to make this super-cute skirt!
To make this skirt I simply cut my pant legs off and added an orange circle skirt. The best pattern I've seen for a circle skirt is here on MADE so if you're interested in making one of your own you should check it out. Although, if the top of your skirt is jean, like this, you'll have to remember to measure where the top of the skirt fabric will be instead of at the waist.
I haven't sewn in awhile so my skirt is far from perfect. There's one spot on the back where the jeans bubbled, but I think I can fix it when I find some extra time. Otherwise it's nice. If (ok, probably when b/c I love the style) I do it again I think I'll make the jean section shorter, as short as possible, and have the fabric section longer. I just think the proportion is off.
BTW, I'm not a pixi and I know the photo angle is awkward, but I think its obvious there's too much jean:fabric ratio. Not bad for picking up sewing again though.
