jeans upcycle: DIY pleated skirt Y2K inspired

[@recreatefulchannel]

Hi guys! :) Did you enjoy this transformation? 😊 If you have old/damaged jeans lying around that you no longer wear give this transformation a try! :) Let me know your thoughts on this DIY! I'd love to hear from you :)

[@princessjennywren]

This is brilliant! All the tutorials i've seen don't account for damaged Jeans and mine are damaged in exactly the same place as this video so i'm excited to try this!

[@recreatefulchannel]

I'm glad to hear this helps! 😍 such a typical place for them to rip, isn't it 😂 xx

Ok dumb question but can you hand sew this😭 gotta ask before I even try

[@recreatefulchannel]

That's not a dumb question! Technically you can handsew anything, but it will take forever 🩷

[@SimranRana-vf2vw]

Did it work? I want to try hand sew

Thank you!! 🩷

Wow I love this tutorial I cant wait to try to make it! I have 2 questions. What needle did you use for this project and what can I do to prevent the fraying at the bottom of the pleats? Thank you💗

[@recreatefulchannel]

You can do a rolled hem, or a single hem or a lettuce hem, whichever way you prefer to finish the bottom 😊

[@recreatefulchannel]

Oh and for denim it's best to use a denim or thicker universal needle :)

@@recreatefulchannel sure!!!

[@alys2321]

would this work with regular pants too? i recently got a hand me down from my mom but I'm not 100% into them but i believe i would use them more had their style been different but i believe i would wear it if it were turned into a skirt

[@recreatefulchannel]

Of course :) with pants you might want to hem the pleats with a rolled hem though depending on how/if they fray :)

[@alys2321]

@@recreatefulchannel thanks for the input!! I'm very new to sewing so we'll see what come out of this 😭

[@Xoxo_Scarlettxoxo]

I’m so confused if I don’t need to take the waistband in what do you do

[@recreatefulchannel]

Just all the other steps where you don't take in the waist

[@ashimreyeb147]

I have a question with these skirts 😭 how do I get them to lay flat and look nice?

[@recreatefulchannel]

It's the topstitching and ironing :)

[@lauraIarua]

Que lindo! Queria fazer em uma peça que tenho, pena que não sei costurar:(

[@recreatefulchannel]

It's a steep learning curve, you can do it! 😃🩷
