This is a skirt made out of my sister’s older pair of trousers that had holes. It’s shown how I used out the old trousers to create the skirt in the third layout picture. It was great that I didn’t have to make the waist part, it saves a lot of time :)

Great!!!! I really like when people recycle things, that are meant to go the the trash! And you don’t really notice that the skirt is made out of some pants! Great job. And thanks for the schema, it helps a lot! I have a couple of old trousers that I may use to do this!!!!
