So Anika tears up all her jeans, she can own a pair of jeans for less than 2 weeks and they will have holes in the knees. So I can't really keep too many for hand me downs or donate them. We have used them for play jeans and cut up some for misc crafts. But I have been wanting to turn some into skirts for about a year now, and finally did. I made two of them but the first was really a practice one, because I wasn't sure how ruffly I wanted it. Well the first was a bit too ruffly and so I don't have any pictures of it, but the second turned out cute! The great thing is it took me only about an hour from start to finish and if you have the jeans already you only need about 1/8 yard of fabric for each ruffle, I used two ruffles. So cheap fabric from Joann and the skirt cost about $2:O The cost alone makes it worth it! I will be making at least 4 more in the future, so expect some more pics!
I made the headband to match, it's reversible also with two different prints. This was made with Velcro, but I am going to make another with and elastic band. The Velcro was to hard to keep on and for Sydney to put back on herself. And we lost it already... she wore it for about half a day and then when we got home, it was missing.
You can get the pattern for free at http://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/FREE-Fabric-Headband-Sizes-Baby-Adult.htm but I am going to make the next one more like this http://foofanagle.wordpress.com/2007/06/12/best-band-ever/
Oh yeah I can't take a picture of just Sydney!
