Have you ever turned a pair of pants into a skirt? I had seen many people do it and thought it would be neat, but if I have any pants, they are generally very comfortable and to great to cut up. Well, I did have this pair of Olive corduroy pants and they sat really low on the hips. Far to low for me. So I thought I would give it a try. I just started cutting them up, trying to remember what I had seen others do. They turned out pretty well, for only taking like 20 minutes, topstitching and all, but it was to short. I seriously couldn't sit in them modestly. So I added cut around the edge of a lace tablecloth and sewed that on the bottom, topstitching over the lace. It is just the right length now, and I think I am going to be very satisfied.

ReplyDeleteWow, that turned out so pretty! I think I may try it as well.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing!! ;) I just posted on my blog photos of the skirt I made from jean capris.
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is lovely! The lace adds a very feminine touch. =)
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed it since I just did the same project! =)

Love it, Jo! Now I want to make one myself...only problem is, I only own one pair of pants and couldn't bear to cut them up :P This might require a jaunt over to Goodwill :)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing that right now! So cute!
ReplyDeleteOh cuteness! =)
