JEANS REFASHION: to cute ruffly skirt

VAUGHN22

One of my favorite pairs of jeans had seen better days. I could've simply patched the holes on the side seams and the crotch area, but I wanted a denim skirt in my closet. I searched the interweb for a simple but cute jeans skirt design. I found a super cute and simple denim skirt featuring three slightly ruffled layers and frayed seams.

After studying the photo, I was pretty confident I could replicate the skirt with a thread and needle. Other than my fingers and tongue being occasionally pricked, I had no problem sewing the skirt during a few classic "Star Trek" movies with Rifftrax commentary. The whole process was surprisingly simple, and I'm pretty surprised with amount of projects I've been able to complete without a sewing machine.
