Sewing skirt(s) in December 2024 & January 2025 with redesign in 2012 šŸ˜‰.

Last minute skirt which I made in 5 hours šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜†šŸ¤Ŗ. I didn’t have a Christmas skirt so at 11pm the 17th of December-24, got I an idea in my head šŸ˜†šŸ˜†. “If I cut a pair of jeans so I can redesign my red wool sweater into a Christmas skirt!” Which I did. I cut the jeans just before I went to bed.Ā 

The 18th of December after work I used five hours on sewing the skirt just so I would be able to wear it the 19th at work šŸ˜†šŸ˜†. It got a bit to short to my long legs šŸ˜†šŸ˜†. But I wear it.

The sweater was a bit to see-through so I added thick wowen cotton fabric under.
Just a bit too short to my length šŸ˜†

After love used it I made it longer with the neck part of the sweater šŸ˜‰.

Here is it in full length on little Christmas eve the 23rd šŸ˜‰. I travelled in it and that was perfect! It hold me warm šŸ˜Š.

January 2025, more sewing šŸ˜Š.

While I am finishing the blue cocktail dress which takes a bit longer time than I thought… Have I upcycling another skirt šŸ˜‰.

In 2012, I bought my sewing machine and started to sew.

This was once a sweater…

In 2012 the sweater became a skirt.
I just cutter off the neck part on the sweater and put elastic band in the waist.

I was never really satisfied with how it sat on me but it was one of my first upcycling- skirts. I have now upcycling it one more time šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š.

The inspiration colour to the second upcycling, black and orange.

Since the first upcycled jeans skirt with a sweater or just random fabric, have I wanted a orange skirt. Now I finally have it šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜.

Once I got a pair of jeans send to me from a person I actually never met. I jeans was with 38″ (inches) and didn’t fit the other person.  Those jeans has been hanging in my wardrobe for more than a year… So now it’s time to redesign them!
I started with the decorations Friday 17th.
Purple is the contrast colour to Orange.
I tried with other things first, picked it up and now I go for Black in the front.

I’ll continue sewing on my orange skirt this weekend (17th – 19th of January) so I can use it this spring šŸ˜Š.
