I want to try this.

I also want to make a skirt using the top of a pair of jeans,cut just below the pockets and adding a full frilly skirt under. I havent worked it out just yet. I wish I could find a better pic, but this is the closest. I want the frill top start up higher and of course be longer. The straight cut jean skirts just dont do much for me.

We made these in the 70's and 80's. Mostly we used just one fabric and they were long and gathered a lot but here is the idea. You can alter to your liking.

Ooooohhhh my gosh! What a blast to the past! My mom was always on me about my bell bottom jeans like those! I made so many of them. That my mom didn't mind but what she did mind was that mine were hip-hugger jeans and I ran around in them with tube tops. (sigh, wish I still have my body from.. back then) LOL!!
Would love to see some pictures! (no not of my bod!) :oP

i was the hippie chic in highschool and made several pairs of these. if you use a lighter cotton for the insert, you will need to starch them for the bells to hang nice.
