Turning Jeans into a denim Skirt

Sometimes I like to cut up clothes and see what happens. It usually doesn’t make them better or more wearable, it just seems to make them more cut up. I recently went all Edward Scissorhands and turned a pair of jeans into a denim skirt. I had stopped wearing the jeans and knew I wasn’t going to wear them again because I didn’t like where the waist finished.

Basically, I decided on the length and cut off the legs, then I cut along the inside seams and used the remaining cut off legs to fill in the missing triangles in the front and back. Will I wear it again? Maybe, maybe not, but at least my jeans got at least one more outing. Cost-per-wear = winning!
