Seam ripper
Sewing machine
STEP 1
Use your seam ripper to remove the jean’s inner seam stitches.
TIP
This first step can take 30-45 minutes, so cue up your favorite podcast or playlist and get in the zone.
STEP 2
Fold over the flap and pin it together.
STEP 3
Use your tape measure to find your preferred skirt length (we’re loving a mini!) and mark with chalk.
STEP 4
Cut along the chalk marks with your scissors.
STEP 5
Measure the triangular open area and cut a denim piece from your scraps to cover it.
STEP 6
Once you’ve positioned and pinned the new piece, use your sewing machine to lock it in place.
STEP 7
Remove any excess fabric or loose threads and voila! You have a brand-new skirt.
