finished denim skirt: first summer project
This morning I decided to finish summer project #1 and sew up my new skirt made from some old jeans. While I was still writing my paper a few days ago, I took a break to rip out the seams of the pants, cut them, and pin everything together. It only took an hour or so, so I didn't need to feel too guilty about procrastinating.
My initial pinning was pretty good, but I had to adjust when I tried it on to check it out. The panel in the front stuck out funny, so I had to re-pin that part while wearing it. Tricky! This might be a project better done with someone else to help. Here is the end result:
Not bad, eh?
I had originally put another panel in the back there, but it was *way more complicated* to re-pin that part, so I went with what you see. I think it works.
When I first started thinking about this project as an alternative to buying a new skirt, these instructions from not martha were very helpful and stuck with me.
Yay! What's next, I wonder...?
