I am making this with a few tweaks-folding my strips in half and sewing on that way, only because I'm too lazy to make bias strips =) I think I will hand sew the ruffle after I tear it, and sew it with the tornside in half and toward the top. I think that will be cute. I really appreciate your idea about cutting above the crotch. I like that little heart shape it gives the skirt. Thank you so much, great video.LindaDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075543066643510260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660748236226741310.post-5973958560524528462020-01-25T15:49:34.555-08:002020-01-25T15:49:34.555-08:00This pattern is perfect.

I have several pairs of jeans that have ripped in the back at the waistband and/or the pocket corners while the fronts and most of the legs are intact. This will use most of the useable fabric and the rest of the pieces can go into potholders or other scrap projects.

You may feel better knowing that you are not the first experienced seamstress to leave a similar comment or email - I tried to write the instructions in a way that someone without a lot of sewing experience could still follow along - and that unfortunately left some experienced sewists confused as these are not typical sewing terms.<br /><br />"Hamburger style" and "hotdog style" are paper folding terms used to teach grade school kids how to fold a paper width-wise or length wise.<br /><br />Another way to phrase the instructions would be to lay the fabric out in front of you so the half-yard length is running in front of you. Then fold the top of the fabric down toward you. Do it one more time. This way you can cut the fabric strips by cutting a short length that will unfold into a long strip.<br /><br />I hope that makes more sense!Carissa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109719890797748345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660748236226741310.post-66297334162517749422018-03-30T17:14:40.055-07:002018-03-30T17:14:40.055-07:00This looks very cute and I grasp the construction ...This looks very cute and I grasp the construction instructions but not the cutting, i.e., " Fold your fabric so that the 1/2 yard length is running in front of you. Fold the fabric widthwise or "hamburger" style twice so that the 1/2 yard length is across the table in front of you and the piece is about a foot tall, making it a manageable height to cut strips from." I am an experienced seamstress and I have no idea what that means.Eloise Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576109387111780514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660748236226741310.post-1217491424081768822017-11-09T22:11:35.576-08:002017-11-09T22:11:35.576-08:00YES!

I am old and it is so confusing to me to keep clicking to next page and having to scroll so much. I have no one to help me. Do you have it so I can print it off yet? Please say yes!! I want to make these for my sisters for Christmas. Thank you for all the work you put behind bringing all this good stuff to us.

When you get to the step where you attach the ruffle, be sure to stitch over the pocket fabric layers in addition to the denim and it will seal the pocket right back upCarissa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109719890797748345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660748236226741310.post-78012405073572948032017-01-26T10:38:28.803-08:002017-01-26T10:38:28.803-08:00Hello!

They drop down lower than the apron length on mine. Cut them off? Sew them up?
