This reminds me of the mid 70's when I was a teenager, graduated in 76 and this skirt was so popular in our high school, still love it and the boho, hippie, gypsy style!!! My era, my favorite!!❤❤❤❤

I finally did it, made jeans into a maxi skirt and had so much fun doing it. It does do my head in having un-neatened seams. My mother was a seamstress in the 20's & 30's and taught my sister and myself the fundamentals of dressmaking and unfinished seams and hems was a no no. I have enjoyed the experience. Thank you. Keep your tutorials coming, I love them.

[@tmyershandmade978]

Yayy! Congrats on the skirt!!🤗💖💖💖💖

[@bosvigos9165]

I have just discovered your channel, thank you YT! I love repurposing clothes for myself. It started when I was 13 years old (‘66) with a pair of jeans, then on to my aunts gorgeous felt circular skirt, that became a cape and I have been happily adapting clothes ever since. What started as necessities, became a great way to have one off pieces. I am going to like it here! ☘️💚☘️

This was fun to watch!! I made one of these back in the 70’s (I’m 68 now) and painted on it with acrylic paints. I also made a short skirt with bib overalls. Thanks for the flash back!!

[@tmyershandmade978]

Sounds like you made fun stuff!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@pamconsidine9606]

@@tmyershandmade978 I truly did!! I just retired 3 years ago because my husband had a massive stroke, and passed in July in the nursing home. My sister encouraged me to “find a hobby” to occupy my mind. I always loved sewing/creating, love fabrics and colors. I am just now getting my mojo back and have begun playing again. The reason I’m sharing this is to let you know how you have positively affected my life. Watching you “do your art” has helped to spark me to “do my art”. I’ve been just doing small things to re-acclimate my brain’s wiring for creating. Thrift shopping has been a blast; seeing/feeling the fabrics and building my storehouse is completed and I feel I’m ready to really play!! I know this is a long post, but I just wanted to give you a heart felt thanks!! Carry on, my friend! 😘💕

[@tmyershandmade978]

Aww I appreciate that so much. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. When you talk about fabrics, I can totally relate. I get so excited to find quality beautiful fabrics, it might very well be the reason I do what I do. I think starting small and easing your way back into it is a brilliant plan. I always love hearing from you, thank for sharing. I look forward to following your journey, please keep me updated.💞💞💞💞

Hi 👋 Tracy !! I haven’t been able 2 watch for about 3 weeks trying to care for my EXTREMELY disabled brother ( but standing on FATHERS PROMISES & having faith he WILL BE HEALED! ROMANS 4:17 CALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS IF THEY WERE !!!)!! I saw you wearing this skirt in your newest vid and I absolutely love it so much , that I couldn’t wait & had to watch it first . LOLOL. 😂😂 I have watched a lot of these & have seen a million on Pinterest & I PROMISE YOU , YOUR JEAN SKIRT , your pattern-style - IS THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM! What I really dig and it makes such a huge difference is that one extra triangle piece you sewed on the outside of what was the pant leg . Somehow it gives the skirt an entirely different look and as I said I absolutely love it !! And you ARE THE ONLY ONE I’ve ever seen do it !!! I wanted to say congratulations on all your new followers ! Your channel just seems to be taking off bc everyone loves your boho creativity lol. I say Boho bc every chance you get you try to put some sorta Tracy Boho spin on whatever project you are working on LOLOL! AND EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH COMES OUT FRIGGEN AMAZING ! In all seriousness I foresee you hitting a million and I believe it will come pretty quick at least compared to others bc your creativity is totally unique & ppl can’t get enough and just love it !! I wanted to ask u if you could give me some suggestions on how I can use these 3 huge garbage bags filled with different colored satin material and other super luxurious materials I’ve been saving for that perfect pattern or project …. Well now that years have passed & afraid I’ll waste it . Your creativity is on a totally different level so maybe you could even come up w/ some kind of project that you could do using satin or something close, & at the same time we all get to see your creative juices at work lol! BOTTOM LINE ITS NOT COTTON OR JEAN MATERIAL so can you show us what cute project / projects you could come up with ? ( crossing my fingers u take on the challenge ) THANK YOU !! ❤😇😁😎🧸

[@tmyershandmade978]

Aww you are the sweetest!!! Thank you so so much!!! I will need to do some brain storming on the luxury fabric challenge, great idea.🤗💕💕💕💕💕

Appreciate you sharing this wonderful skirt. I have had a pair of black jeans cut open for more than a few years. Discovered them awhile ago and now am inspired to finish it finally. Love that they can become either full or pencil width. Thinking I need one of each :)) I'm am just an owner of a sewing machine, but it never stopped me from recovering all my deck furniture cushions during the dreaded lockdowns. Love all your videos and though I don't always comment am grateful to have found you and hope you will continue to share your seemingly limitless creative talent.
