Check this out. I am going to make this skirt. Long skirts made of 100% cotton can be so cool to wear. Having a jean that you know fits you but may be stained, cut up, can easily be the yoke for this skirt. You'll see a lot of ideas on Pinterest. Let's do this!

Cute skirt. I can't sew a lick so no skirt for me, LOL.

Today I finished my Jubilee Denim Skirt. Better late than never, eh? I made it calf length.

I made it with some "Sale" fabric I've had for a while to see how it would fit. Now will make more with my better fabrics. LOL! I'm just going to add a matching "sash" through the belt loops and maybe a few appliques over the holes in the jeans.

Sylvia... I luv broom stick skirts but hate how most of them are some what see thru!... so I wear a slip... but wish I didn't have to...
nylon slips are always to hot and clingy... but at least I don't have to wear nylons and a guirdel/guirdle/gurdal... oh duh!

The skirt I used is a broom stick hippie skirt. Love it! Very thin cotton but dark enough no slip required!

Me, too, Kat. A handle is definitely what I need on my projects. Unfortunately, my projects get interrupted by having to clean the house - it seems housekeeping goes to the back burner when craft projects are involved.

Yes, I have seen broomstick skirts sewn onto the upper part of jeans. Then you have a broomstick skirt with pockets.

Hey Sylvia... I like how your skirt turned out!
I have to try this.... after I get a handle on my current and also UFO projects completed...

Hmmm. I have several of those 'broom stick ' skirts... wonder if I could attach one to a jean upper portion?
hmmmm.... thinking, thinking....

Ratio: 1.5 bigger than the measurement where it was cut off. So easy to make. Dying to do mine but I have quilting to do on my longarm. I also sewed on top of the gathers, used a decorative stitch to tone down the gathers.

Those look great Sylvia. You're getting me inspired to search through my stash of old jeans to see if I can find a pair that will work.

That's great, Sylvia. I have the jeans top (or two) - when I get back from vacation I hope to make one. They do look very comfortable.

What ratio of gathers to jeans did you use? I don't want to make it too gathered but it needs to make it around my hips. LOL!

I just found some jean skirts, allows you to make a longer denim yoke, more slimming? I have some batik rayon challis that would drape beautifully. Just need time, ladies. Will post photo when done.

I had one like this oooh maybe 30 years ago. I loved it and wore it a lot. It looked nice and trim on my waist (much smaller waist back then) and then had lots of room for movement. That's a great idea to make one.

I also saw today a skirt made from a jean skirt because she wanted the top denim part longer. so that is another idea. Some of us don't have the body to wear a denim mini skirt!
Was watching a live hatching of a rare chicken from Normandy, France. Two babies. It's like watching paint dry but it was worth it. gorgeous chickens. I own doxies, they don't mix with chickens. They heard the chicks squeaking during and after hatching, all doxie ears were open and alert.

Linda has a great idea, a patchwork skirt! Let's get sewing, maybe spring will come sooner. So not liking all this grey.
