How Do You Use A Pattern To Make A Denim Skirt From Jeans?
Take that old pair of ratty jeans in the back of your closet, and reuse them to make a gorgeous denim skirt. This will not only save you money, but it will result in a one-of-a-kind piece that is personalized to fit your unique style. Making a denim skirt from old jeans is possible without a pattern. However, using a pattern creates a guide that makes sewing easier. Sewing patterns are found in most craft stores, but a pattern is easy to make yourself with just a few basic sewing tools. Find a pair of jeans that still fit at the waist. The jeans can have holes or be out of style. Put the jeans on, and then drop your hands by your sides. Mark the area where your index fingers hit. This is one of the most flattering lengths for a skirt; however, you can make the skirt as long as you like. Lay the jeans on a flat surface, and measure up from the bottom of the hem to the chalk mark. Mark a straight line across both legs of the jeans. Use the sewing ruler to make the lines straight.
