I'm going to show my age a little bit here. Back in the 70's, it became a fad to take our "naturally" distressed jeans and make these kinds of skirts out of them. The more they were patched, the better. Lol! Each skirt was different depending on the kind of patches the wearer chose and where they were worn out. Needless to say, no two were ever alike. Some had patches on top of patches.
Amen Janet! Mine used to be really long and drag on the ground, my mom used to hate it, but I wanted the bottom to get really and truly “naturally” frayed.
The ‘60’s and ‘ 19:18 70’s was a fun time to grow up!
@@sassymimisandysue3997 OMG! I can't believe I forgot about the fraying! That was a huge part of it!😂
Everything old is new again. It’s true!!
I remember the time, my ch7ldhood
😅😅
I'm a Muslim woman. It's soooo hard to find a nice casual modest jean skirt without any leg exposure. You're skirt came out beautifully and I'm pretty sure your video is the only one I've seen with full coverage. Thanks so much for the video ❤
You are welcome. I have another one come your way.
Cool. I wish I knew how to sew.
When I was in grade 8, 70's I turned my jeans into this denim skirt. I added a piece of trim to lengthen the skirt. It looked like 60's vibe. I got so many compliments. Imagine my face decades later when I saw high-end fashion designer doing this.
Yes indeed. Everything old is new again
It’s so nice to to see a presenter on RUclips who makes an effort to like nice. I love this project, too! You explain things so well.
Awww thank you so much. I appreciate that!🥰
Godet is French, pronounced
(ga' day)....Yes, also showing my age...made plenty of these70's -80's with appliqued African motif designs sewn onto the patched front w/ matching denim/leather purses.
However, very clear video instruction & your audio is excellent. Keep stitching, Peace!
Thank you!!
I love this video. My mother could make anything. She made all her and my father's clothes when they first married because they were so poor. She made all her own drapes, re-upholstered all the furniture, she could crochet and knit. I never learned from her to do all of that and now she is gone. I'm so mad at myself. I didn't learn from her but I'm going to learn all I can from you. Thank you for making these videos. ❤
Aw…. I hear that so much. It’s never to late to learn. Thank you so much for tuning in. More to come🙏🏽❤️
I’ve looked at over 30 videos on making this skirt. And you’re is by far my favorite. Thanks for sharing. I’ve gotta make for my granddaughter ❤️❤️
Thank you for the compliment. Your granddaughter will love it
Made these in college in the 70’s. Really worn jeans were turned into cut offs. When you’re poor you find a way to recycle, I used embroidery to cover stains and/or holes. We also used cotton print from BF shirt to use as the godets. And sometimes added them as gores in side seams to give more movement.
Yes!! So many options for these skirts. I love it
Loved your design and instructions. I am going to give this a try. You made it look easy and fun. Godet is French as in 'go day' (no harm intended). Thank you for sharing.
You can do it! Thank you I always forget
❤Great tutorial! Love this adding a godet is great in so many adjustments repairs or upcycles it is a Godet a French word pronounced Go Day just sharing my nerdy pronunciation tip
Thank you!! Thanks for watching
Oh my! When I was in college way back in the day!!!, I made money making bell bottoms (insert triangles into the side seams). Then I made my kids denim quilts for college. Now onto grandkids!! One tool: Electric scissors! Glides right along seam like a hot knife through butter. And when my first one died I had a replacement express shipped. Saved everything. Bags of seams, belt loops etc, I still have a box of pockets from when boys were toddlers.. Opening that, it looks like a fashion museum. Thanks!
Thank you!! yes I remember
My sister and I have been remaking clothes since the 70's too! This summer I did a pair of jeans with floral patches a la Magnolia Rose and she told me I was not supposed to use so many different fabrics, that I had made "Junk Journal Jeans" instead! I'm going to make this skirt for fall.
Exciting!! I hope you try it out and put your own spin on it. Thanks for watching
Such careful sewing and good detail in your tutorial. Thank you.

I subscribed and hit the bell when I watched this. These skirts were popular when I was in high school in the 70’s and yes, I plan on making one. Really love the easy way you styled it at the end.
Thank you! 🤗
Wish you a lot of fun on your trip to Ghana. I brought myself a beautiful two-piece dress from there, custom-tailored for me in the 70ies. I still love it.
Best tailors!!
Wow that came our really good!!!
Thanks! I had fun creating it too
I've seen many denim skirt upcycles on RUclips, but this one is my favorite so far, and I will thrift some jeans and get sewing.
Yay!! Excited for you to try it out
Wow I was waiting for a tutorial like this, thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!!
I love your work
Thank you🥰
Awesome tutorial, just what I've been looking for. Hugs from México City!
WOW ! I love them wow never seen anything like them before well done you ! so much work but it’s worth it isn’t it 10 out of 10 !❤
Thank you so much!
I love your denim skirt and keep on wearing it
I will. Thank you!!
I enjoyed your video, it was extremely informative. I'm looking forward to trying this. It brought back a lot of memories. My Mother was a quilter. She and a few of the ladies in the neighborhood would gather two or three times a week and make beautiful quilts For quick heavy winter quilts for our personal use, she would take my Father's old jeans and make what she called "Winter Quilts." They were not fancy, but certainly warm and cozy during those cold winter months.
Thank you so much for watching!🥰
Love it❤🎉
Thank you
Great skirt!
Thanks!!!
Gorgeous well done ❤
Thank you
Denim maxi skirts (any maxi skirts period) are living their best life right now. I love the idea of the maxi skirts and have a few but realize that I have not worn them because most of the time I am on task (hands full/moving swiftly about) and they are a fall/trip risk for me. I realize this, so I did make an effort to wear a white windbreaker material maxi skirt I just thrifted, to handle some paperwork for my mom (hang out with her) at temporary facility she is at, just yesterday. It was so comfy! This was a great tutorial on making your own denim maxi skirt, and it really looks great on you. The maxi skirts are living their best life right now. I have thrifted some plain maxi straight line pencil skirts with kick split in back (plan to wear back to front sometime) because I have seen them on some of my favorite influencers and I like the looks they achieved. This my first time watching one of your videos it came as a suggestion while I was watching my fav DIYer Blueprintdiy (Angelina) upcycling thrifted jeans to a statement maxi skirt. I enjoyed this video and just going to subscribe based on this one because I don't have time to binge watch your channel at the moment. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.
Thank you for watching!! Yes Maxi Skirts are year round fun
This video was awesome, very detailed and informative thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤️👏🏿❤️
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed
Thank you for this, going to try it.
You're beautiful, btw!
Thank you 🥰
So beautiful. I've made these skirts before, but I unraveled the inner seams, which was too time consuming. Your method is much easier and still keeps the original stitching. I'm going to use this method from now on. Thx.
That sounds good too. Texture always makes things more interesting
I really enjoyed this video you are a great teacher I feel empowered 🤣😁 now let's see if I can make this... You did a beautiful job 👍
Thanks so much 😊
Back in the 90s i had a skirt like that with corduroy on the back 😊
Oooohhh giving me ideas!! Another tutorial coming
Greetings from Amsterdam I like your idea of putting part of a second jeans in. Thank you ❤✋
Thank you!! I love visiting your hometown!! So beautiful
Beautiful
Thank you!
Oh my god these are amazing! Instant follow! ❤ Im trying to figure out how to DIY a version of the “Givenchy Destroyed-Effect Midi Denim Skirt” that is running upwards of $1000, and this was super helpful! Thank you!
I know right? The prices are incredible. Do it yourself is much more rewarding
Great video, I liked how you showed the look with it open in the front,,, and I like it better closed, perhaps in my younger days I would wear it open,,❤
Right on. Thats what I was thinking too. I might try one with it open later
Loved this skirt update! Would love to see what your Ghana itinerary looked like. I'm planning a trip there next year.
Ghana was amazing. Hopefully the video was helpful. If you have questions let me know
I had one years ago going to try this out. Look at the money you could make on these skirts!!!!
Yeah they are making a killing!! Good luck trying this one out. It’s super fun
Doing this tonight!
YAY!!
Ma’am ….This is 911 level 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you
I love this! I have made several upcycle denim skirts over the years, but today, you taught me that the insert piece is called a godet! Lol I never knew! I knew what a gusset is because I made some of my sons jeans bigger in the inseam by doing that. Also, I can't wait to see your Ghana haul!!👀💜🙌🏽
Love love love this for you
Pool
My first time on this channel!
Thanks for stopping by!
Apesar de não entender sua língua, assistir o vídeo todo e amei seu trabalho. Amo jeans desejo a vc boa sorte e muita luz na sua vida. Beijokas gordas no ❤️
Oh, muchas gracias por mirar. Ojalá pudiera traducir. Espero que quede claro.
Use a jump jumper to get over those thicknesses. They come with all Vikings and Bernina machines. Other machines is it a separate accessory. Need one now? Use a large button.
Thank you!! Will try
Votre modèle est superbe 😊merci
Well demonstrated. I find ir easier to d sew if I turn it wrong side out and have the excess fabric on top. It is easier to keep flat.
Thank you
My first time and want to learn much more
Yay!! More to come
❤❤❤❤
❤️🥰
Love this! You are a great instructor. Did you folder in the back seam to sew on or leave it for distress
Yes I did. I left it distressed. I love the look
I had a lovely denim skirt made with patches in the 70s! God.....i feel bloody old!😂😂😂😂😢
Everything comes back
Please spend more time showing your finished product. I want some closeup looks, to appreciate your hard work.
Thanks so much. More pics on IG and future videos. I wear this skirt so much LOL!!
@@JenRestyleandFashion I love all of the items that you have repurposed. I have been a thrift shopper, my entire life and cherish my finds! Also, am an avid, advanced beader, and wear my own designs. My favorite experiences are when complete strangers come to a halt (as I am sure that they do for your designs) and absolutely must know where I found my Chanel pearl encrusted necklace. I chuckle, because I never sell my work and only give to family and best friends.
Thank you for this tutorial I loved it! (Godet is pronounced “go-day”) I have some embroidered jeans from the 70s I can’t fit in any more, and want to use those as godets in a jean skirt!
The insert to make jeans into skirt its called a gusset thats what we call it in new zealand.a gusset 😊 .
Thanks!!
I’ve been changing jeans pants into skirts for ages
Isn’t it the BEST!!
I was given a HUGE stack of jeans from my mother in law and I’ve already made one pair into shorts and I’m looking at tutorial on how to turn them into skirts and your video is exactly what I needed.
I can use the legs from the pair I made shorts from for the insert.
Question: Did you use a specific needle for denim? (I haven’t sewn in the hem of the shorts either. I couldn’t commit to a length 😂)
Sounds great!! Yes use a denim needle if you can. It will make sewing so much easier
I’m trying to upcycle two pairs of jeans & make a wide leg pair of jeans
Yay!!! Love that for you
Nice Job!!!
Thank you!!!
Don't accidentally sew over the front pockets, so they can't be used. I topstitched around the outer edges of mine in an intentional manner, so they don't ride up. Or - remove them and topstitch the curved top edge closed.
Thanks for watching
Would love to have wide leg denim pants;
Oh yes. Those are coming this fall
Awesome job, can you drop the name of the machine and brand of scissors. Love it, thank you.
Sure the machine is the Viking Opal 690. Shears are singer. I’ll have to check the exact model
@@JenRestyleandFashion thank you, that machine sailed over the fabric and the scissors cut well, the things that help you to not lose it. Will look into those!
It is actually pronounced GO- DAY.
Thanks!
I will try this. What type of needle do you recommend for thick denim clothe/denim jeans?
Great! I use a size 16 needle. I find that works best. I sometime use denim thread as well
@@JenRestyleandFashion Thanks a million!
Can i ask a question Jen. When sewing all those layers of denim. would it be ok to baste them first ? Or try sewing a few scrapes of denim together first. Like a test run just to see if the needle can take so many layers?
Thanks for your question. If you are uncertain of your sewing machines capacity to sew through several layers then yes you should baste first. Make sure you use a denim sewing needle too
Great video! Very clear. But the pronounciation of Godet is french so dont pronounce the "t"...its god "a" long a on the end.
Yes thanks! I corrected that in subsequent videos.
Hey there Jen i really love the skirt. I'm 5 one and i just don't feel it. Wearing a long skirt, but i am trying to shoot. For a denim skirt knee high. Thank you for sharing this great video. You have a blessed day friend.
Hey there. Try wearing it with heels to give yourself some lift. Keep the top portion light so it’s not so bulky
In your sewing machine, can you use a universal needle to sew the denim?
Yes I can. Thanks!
I wish you would have said and cared about showing the skirt up close and of that background
As a matter of fact I’m working on another. DIY of a similar skirt and I’ll be bringing this one back. Stay tuned
where is the pic of the finished skirt?
Hey there. It’s modeled at the end. Enjoy
😮😢
Jesus loves you♥️read John 3:16♥️
Godet is pronounced go-day.
New sub 🤍
Thank you!!
Hi Jen. I love your skirt! I made one too. A little while ago I did a midi skirt and a maxi skirt out of jeans. Here’s the link to the maxi skirt if you want to take a look:
