diy: Denim Skirt

No need to spend money on a denim, cut-off skirt when summertime is the perfect time to cut up your old pair of jeans and make a cute skirt yourself. In about an hour, you'll be ready to head out the door!

Supplies

1 pair of jeans

scissors

pins

sewing machine

Step #1

Cut your jeans in half above the knee. Next, slice open your jeans following the seam.

Step #2
Using a bottom leg you cut off in step one, cut the pant leg in half along the seam then repeat for the other side. Even off the edges so that you have a rectangle.

Step #3
Flip jeans inside out and cut off extra material around the seam so that it is easier to sew on.
Step #4
Turn jeans right side out and pin rectangle into the inseam of the jeans. Sew in place.

Step #4

Turn jeans inside out and starting from the bottom seam, pin extra material together so that it hangs straight down. (You want to get rid of the extra material from the seat of the pants.) Then sew straight down leaving about a 2" slit in back.

Step #5
Cut off any extra fabric.

Step #6
Cut skirt to the length you want then wear and enjoy.
