“This skirt was once a perfect pair of blue jeans, that I wore happily until the color faded so much that it was very far from perfect. I dyed them black and wore my new black jeans for a while, but something about them was still off. Then, I decided to make them into a pencil skirt.”
Now again, I have a perfect garment that is once more a wardrobe favorite which I wear weekly. I’ve had this garment for about six years, making it one of the oldest garments in my closet, though totally unrecognizable from where it started.
Although this skirt still holds the previous memories from the pants; my mom buying them for me, because they are from the time when she would buy my clothes, as well as summer moments I wore them with a white tank top and flip-flops sticking out from underneath. The memories of the black jeans might not be the greatest as they were never quite right. I almost gave them to charity, but I’m happy that I found an easy tutorial online about how to make a skirt out of a pair of jeans.
