Sadie loves dresses so much she is always wanting me to wear one too. So I had an idea to make a scooter skirt. Yes, I grew up in the 70’s but I think the scooter skirt could be making a come back.
My mother still had this girls size 7 pattern. Even though it was a little small, I thought I might could work it to fit. At first I thought about using some sort of very cheap fabric to practice on. Then I had the idea of using some old jeans.
I have several stacks of Joe’s worn out Wranglers. A little seam ripping, cutting and sewing and I have my very own
For the back I ended up just using the back of one of the pairs of jeans so it already had pockets. I also reused a zipper for the side opening. What do you think, will scooter skirts make a comeback?
We used to call them skorts back in the day (I'm dating myself there!)
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job!
Love how you adapted the design to reuse the jeans you had on hand. Well done. Pockets are a great addition. I think they are cute. You may have to make some for the grand kids :)
ReplyDeleteKylie has a lot of these so they're definitely back. They're called Skorts in the store now. Looks great! I'm sure Sadie approves
