After

Some time ago - a long time ago, actually - I sent off a pair of jeans to be transformed into a skirt. I don't think a jean skirt is all that hard to make but I don't sew. I don't sew because I don't have a sewing machine. (Or I don't have a sewing machine because I don't sew - I can't remember which.)

But I do have a search engine that located an outfit in Missouri that would take my old, worn out jeans and turn them into a skirt. I took before pictures:

Outside

As you can see, these were well worn jeans but they were truly on their last legs. It was time to throw them away or do something different.

I did something different. (Have you met me?)

I shipped the jeans to Love My Jean Skirt and asked them to patch the holes - if that could be done - and to make a skirt, re-using as much denim from the pants as could be recycled.

I finally got the skirt back. It took months, far longer than I expected. I came to believe I had been ripped off and that I would never see my jeans again. But then, one day, a miracle happened. My long lost jeans came home.

Can't wait to wear it!

I missed my old jeans!

Wait until you see the inside:

Fully reinforced.

I just couldn't let them go.
