Skirt! Yay!

[catastrophic.livejournal.com]

I had 2 pairs of old jeans- nicely faded, but a bit too short and tapered. I was going to make a miniskirt out of one pair but I accidentally cut it off too short, so I decided to make it the yoke of a long skirt. I cut it about 2 inches below the zipper, and used the legs of both pairs to make panels for the long, gored part of the skirt. There are six panels in all, roughly triangular so they flare out towards the bottom. I sewed all the seams facing out and left it unhemmed so it has a rough, fringe-y look. I wish I had a camera to show everyone! It is so unbelievably cute. I can probably draw the pattern out and e-mail it to anyone who is interested, my e-mail is on my profile.
:D
