A LOT of jeans.
And being a big fatty boomba, it means that an embarrassing number of my jeans are worn through at the thighs, but are still perfectly fine everywhere else.
So, being the glorious hoarder I am, I have heaps of jeans I don't wear, but hoard in case I ever find a use for them. Today was that day!
The wonderful world wide web has so many glorious uses for recycled jeans, I particularly liked this one, because it chops off all the nasty thigh rubbage and makes a funky skirt.
I'm pretty lucky to be learning how to sew in the world of youtube and wiki how and King Google. Stuck for inspiration? Pinterest. Any issues with my machine - Google. Still stuck - Youtube that shit.
Mum was an AWESOME machinist - really fab, but any problems she had she had to nut out by herself, I wonder what amazing capability she would have had if she had the internet?
Anyway, I got picking, and whipped up a skirt. It looked kinda weird once it was put on, because I'd used stretch denim jeans, and it was kinda huggy, so I prettied it up by destroying a skirt I picked up from the bus stop a couple of months ago.
I also needed to pick a bit of a split in the back, so I could walk!
I'm not sure if I'll ever rock this in public, but it's wearable - so I'm counting this as a success too :)
