Easy Jean skirt

 


This is the skirt I made for my daughter out of an old pair of my husbands jeans. It was super easy. It took maybe an hour from start to finish.


I cut the legs off the jeans & cut the heavy seam from the legs & the cuffs. Then I took those  pieces & sewed them together. I made a casing at the waist & added elastic & then hemmed it. I added the lace trim & voila! it was finished. She loves it by the way .


Nothing fancy but a nice play skirt & since it was completely FREE you have to love it. I am thinking about adding some back pockets just for fun but not sure yet....


And, just for fun, here is her goofy little brother getting in on the action...



Blessings.

  3. Great Idea - I actually have two pairs of jeans sitting at home that I was trying to find a way to recycle them - you've given me a great idea.

  5. That is such an adorable skirt for your daughter. It gives me a great idea for my husbands old jeans - and we need a lot of his jeans to cover skirts for all of our daughters.
