Apostolic Style | Summer Knee-Length Skirts


Before hubby & I left for vacation to Mississippi in May I had some major shopping scores which led to me making some really cute knee-length skirts for me to wear while we were on vacation. Of course at that time I didn't know I was pregnant so now half of the skirts don't fit me, but I think two of them still do! :) Rue21 was having a clearance sale on patterned skinny jeans, I made a haul at the thrift store of about 10 pairs of regular denim jeans (which I plan to make into skirts to sell on the shop) for $2 each, and then WalMart had a few pairs of colored skinny jeans on clearance as well. Here's a few of the skirts that I made:

This beautiful skirt was made out of skinny jeans from Rue21.

This was my first some-what successful attempt at making a straight front knee-length skirt.
Sorry, no tutorial for this

This skirt was made from skinny jeans bought at WalMart.

And my favorite skirt! This one was made from skinny jeans from Rue21 as well.

What do you think about these skirts? I think they're super cute! I wish the jeans hadn't cost so much so I could've been able to buy some to sell on the shop. Oh well. Maybe one day. :)

    1. Awesome!! It really doesn't take much to change a pair of pants into a cute knee length skirt. I do it all the time! I made the skirts up in May before I found out I was pregnant...none of them fit me now!! :( I'm considering selling them on my shop, but haven't quite decided yet.

  4. They are great Helen!! I especially like the floral ones. We are off to camp next week and I have been scouring thrift stores for denim skirts and have not found one!! I wish I had the patience to turn denim jeans into skirts!!

    Hope you are well!! Hugs from California!

    1. Thank you! :) I no longer fit in ANY of the ones I made in May lol. I'm thinking I may try selling them since it will be SO long since I will need them and don't really have the storage space for them.

  5. I think those skirts are adorable. I don't think they would fit me though.
