As is, this is fairly awful. It looks like something my 3rd grade teacher would have worn. To take this skirt from spinster to sassy, I first made a big cut to make it a length I liked.
I wanted to let the hem fray, but I didn’t want to leave my skirt looking quite so unfinished. Luckily, I had a spool of super-thick thread made for sewing denim in my stashy stash. I sewed two rows of straight stitches above the line where I didn’t mind letting the skirt fray.
That’s it! I now have a wardrobe staple that has been missing from my closet for oh-so-long!

Hmm I don't have a demin skirt either, but you are right it is a wardrobe staple. Glad you have fixed this now - looking good.
I wish the weather here was for that kind of dress up at the moment.
take care,
Eddie
I'm in the same boat-- I don't have a denim skirt either! And have been thinking for quite some time that I need one....just haven't gotten around to thrifting anything I can turn into the perfect one/sewing one from scratch yet.
