Tutorial Tuesday: Jean Skirt

by 8 Comments

I saw this idea to make jeans into a skirt and I thought that I would give it a try. I had the prefect pants, they are so cute but the crouch was just too high. It’s also perfect for those jeans with holes in the knees!

This is how I made it:
1) I took my jeans

2) I cut them to the length I wanted the skirt to be

3) I then cut up the seams on both sides

4) I then put the two fronts together and sewed them together.

5) I did that to the back, but left a little v at the end (so I could walk in the skirt…)

6) Then I ruffled some black fabric and sewed it all along the bottom of the skirt

7) Then I made three ruffles in the back of the V and sewed those on

8) I then took a 2″ ruffle and sewed it onto the skirt, to cover all the edges

9) Then I just took a piece of fabric and sewed it onto the inside of the skirt, to secure the ruffles in the V

And now I have a skirt with pockets (that’s one of the worst things for me about skirts, not pockets!)

  1. I needed this tutorial! Thanks ever so much for posting it and talk about timing!

    I'd just sorted my wardrobe at the weekend and found some skinny jeans that were just a tiny bit too short, but they're a gorgeous dark black and I knew I wanted a black denim skirt so I had thought…I'll go hunting for a tutorial for that this week but didn't do it yesterday (lazy/procrastination) so I was super pleased to see this on my news feed today!

    Thanks again xx
