How Do You Make Denim Skirts Out Of Jeans?

Denim skirts are a fashion staple that seem to transcend fashion fads. Instead of shopping for just the right denim skirt, save some money and have some fun by making your own. Grab a pair of great fitting jeans you've been meaning to retire because of frayed bottoms or holes in the knee area, and give them a second life as a cute denim skirt that can be dressed up or dressed down.

Cut off the jeans at the desired length and turn them inside out. Remember, unless you want the end of the material to fray, a hem will be required, so take that into consideration when making the cut, leaving 1 1/2 inches extra length for the hem. Using the seam-cutter, rip out the inside seams of the legs (up to the zipper in the front and to the yoke in the back).

Starting at the top (what used to be the crotch area, right under the zipper), pin together the front panels leaving 3/4-inch for a seam. If the top area seems bulky, take this small flap area and fold it over to be sewn flat against the front ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
