A Denim Skirt (Why didn’t I have one of these already???)
I can’t believe I haven’t owned a denim skirt in years! Seriously…This is a casual southern wardrobe staple! Today, I sought to rectify this situation with this Eddie Bauer mumsy number (a freebie…yay!).
Serious Mom Skirt
As is, this is fairly awful. It looks like something my 3rd grade teacher would have worn. To take this skirt from spinster to sassy, I first made a big cut.
Chop!
I wanted to let the hem fray, but I didn’t want to leave my skirt looking quite so unfinished. Luckily, I had a spool of super-thick thread made for sewing denim in my stashy stash. I sewed two rows of straight stitches above the line where I didn’t mind letting the skirt fray.
A bit more of a finished look
That’s it! 🙂 I now have a wardrobe staple that has been missing from my closet for oh-so-long! 🙂
From Frump to Fabu!
Cheers! 🙂

I love this idea! I’ve been wanting a cute Jean skirt forever, but can never find a good fit. I’m heading to my favorite thrift store tomorrow!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thanks! A big problem I’ve had with finding the perfect denim skirt is that they’re either too short or too long. Choosing my own length made it juuuuust right! 🙂
Yay for freebies and quick refashions! I’ve been meaning to make myself a denim skirt. I must admit that I owned a pants-to-skirt refashion from my awkward teenage phase that looked a lot like the original skirt, and I tried to shorten it, but it didn’t work out and I’m thinking I might just toss it. I’ll need to use some different material!
My 4th grade teacher (wonderfull Miss Owen) had an exact copy of your before skirt – brings back memories!
I love this refashion. I keep buying stuff from thrift stores intending to work similar miracles on them, but so far my only real success has been realizing that a skirt looks much better belted on my waist than low on my hips.
Also, it’s really freaky how often I see you out and about around town. Some time I’m going to stop you and say hi.
I’m not a stalker, I just run a lot of errands.
