Instructions (for sample as shown)

  1. Cut bottom 12” off end of each leg.
  2. Use seam ripper to open up inside seams of jean legs starting at bottom of one leg all around to bottom of the second leg. Use scissors to trim away any thick seams, (this should be no more than 3/8” all around.)
  3. Open up seams of pieces cut from each leg and trim away thick seams. Press flat.
  4. Fold open edges of pant legs back about 3/8”, then pin in place.
  5. Lay jeans down on a flat surface and smooth flat. Insert one of the cut leg pieces under the opening at the front of the jeans, so the opening is filled with the denim. Pin this piece in place. Do the same for the back opening.
  6. Machine stitch 3/8” in from folded edge of jeans leg. This will secure the cut leg piece in place. Repeat for other side. Turn skirt inside out and trim away excess denim from seams. Turn right sides out.
  7. Trim hem to desired length. Fold under ½”, pin in place, then machine stitch ¼” up from fold.
  8. Follow package directions for all embellishments to decorate your skirt. We used the Elongated Embellishments along the hem of the skirt with Large Eyelets between the different strips. (Note: The Elongated Strips can be cut apart and used on different parts of the skirt.) Pinking shears can be used to cut decorative patches from the iron-on patches in the Repair Kit. A variety of Micro-Bead Appliques and Denim Patches have been used all over the skirt. The Iron-On Anchors & Hip Chains with Charms were used on the back pockets.
