Turn Recycled Jeans into Skirts This Weekend at Maker Faire Bay Area

Add a little legroom to those jeans this weekend at Maker Faire Bay Area as Seamstress Erin shows you how to turn old jeans in a skirt.

This really is my favorite skirt. I’ve been wearing it just about weekly for 7 years? 8 years? I had an amazing time teaching people at Maker Faire how to make this skirt. The shape is flattering on all body types (Seriously. I have yet to see a gal that doesn’t look fabulous in this skirt) and allows for great ease of movement. (Seriously. I ride my bike and climb trees in this skirt). Added bonus – I met my boyfriend while wearing this skirt! The basic idea behind this skirt is that we are opening up a pair of pants and setting in four triangles of fabric into the openings.
