This is an old skirt that was too big and was going to get rid of (last picture), when I
thought about remaking it. There was not quite enough fabric for all the pieces but I
found some left over denim in my scrap box. I had to alter the pattern a little as I cross
over two different sizes (had two kids and my body has never recovered), also trimmed
seam allowances as per the instructions. Thankyou for the Laurelle Jeans Skirt pattern it
is great and will be making more. I am very pleased with the results and wear it quite a
bit.
