An upcycled denim mini skirt
There's a super-simple solution to making a mini skirt from old denim. And somewhere along the line, the shorter it is, the easier it will be.
To do this, you'll start by cutting off the trousers legs, about 5cm from the crotch. You'll then seam the crotch to the base of the fly, front and back, and align the legs with pins before sewing them back together.
Next, you'll need to trim the excess fabric. You'll then draw a straight line with chalk, taking care to round the outer edges slightly, then cut away the excess.
The final step is to prepare and sew the hem.
And you're done! Easy, isn't it?
