I have some MJ fabrics, but may need to do a patch-work skirt because they aren't large pieces.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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....
