To work with my crafts, I take the bottom of the old jeans. I choose the details of the decoration to my liking: you can take, for example, beads or rhinestones, or you can print it.
I got such a skirt:
In order to sew a skirt, I needed fabric from old denim pants, which I cut half (just above the knees), blue floss thread, a sewing needle, pinning needles, elastic, green and purple beads, rhinestones.
I cut each leg in the longitudinal side:
Next, I need to fold the upper and lower sides several times and stab them with needles. There should be an elastic band in the upper side, therefore I do that side twice as wide. After that, I sew on both sides of the legs:
On the upper side of the future skirt, I introduce an elastic band, after which I tighten the fabric and make seams:
Now I am making seams from below. So the resulting skirt looks now:
I turn the skirt from the wrong side to the front side and unfold it so that the piece of fabric in which there is a pocket is on the side, and the side seam is exactly in the middle:
It looks like a skirt on the other hand:
Further, the resulting skirt can be decorated with rhinestones or beads. I sew white shiny rhinestones to the craft, and next to them I mark with chalk patterns for embroidery with beads. I didn’t have the usual chalk, and therefore I use a wax crayon:
The outlined patterns are not very noticeable on the craft. Having sewed rhinestones to the skirt, I take large yellow beads:
I sew these beads to empty areas between rhinestones, and then embroider an image from beads in the form of flowers (roses) on the fabric. To do this, you can take light purple and green beads, and cotton threads (floss):
These are my shapes of flowers:
Next, I supplemented the image with embroidery of the stem with leaves from beads:
After the work with embroidery is completed, my skirt will be ready:
So it will look if you try it on:
Now everything, a jeans skirt with bead and rhinestone embroidery, is ready:
