Redesigning, Sewing, & Making Skirts From Old Denim Jeans & Shorts

Photo Page 1

Catie made this adorable skirt from an old pair of jeans that were too tight in the legs.  I love the fabrics and colors she went with in her design.

Erika redesigned this adorable skirt by adding a nice soft brown ultra suede bottom to it.  She plans on wearing it with a brown sweater and brown boots.

This student also designed a matching pocketbook and accented the skirt and pocketbook with buttons, lace, and appliqué.

Another adorable skirt made in hot pink and black cotton fabrics.

Melissa Logan sends us this photo and says, "This is the broom skirt I made with the pattern from your wonderful site.  I LOVE this site and I visit it at least once a day :)  Thank you for all the great patterns!!"

Laura makes an adorable long one in blue down to the ground.

Jacquelyn made this adorable skirt from an old pair of jeans her mom had!

To Learn More About Making Your Own Clothes we suggest Christine Haynes book Chic and Simple Sewing .  It's our favorite sewing book to use for beginners in our studio, and patterns are included.  We also recommend Project RUNWAY DVDs to view as an excellent guide for fashion design.
