Mint green is my favorite color, so I jumped with joy when a mint green jeans was given to me! 😀 The jeans was old, faded and soft from washing. But I liked the mint green denim fabric and the natural used look. The jeans had an unflattering carrot cut with pleats at the waist. So I thought I’d turn the jeans into an A-line skirt.
I cut off the waistband because I prefer skirts with a low waist. Then I frayed the edges with a needle. I love the look of frayed edges (on purpose) even though frayed edges take longer than an ordinary hem!
I cut off the legs below the knee and used the cut-off jeans leg to fill in the gap. Then I used the leftover scraps to make matching DIY espadrilles! 😀 There was just enough fabric left so that I could piece the scraps together for the shoes!
We took the photos in grandma’s beautiful garden. I loved this large willow tree since I was a child.
I love my new mint green denim skirt! It’s beautiful and comfortable to wear. I’m wearing it while writing this post, lol! 😀
Looking for more refashions?
Cute! I did something like this with jeans this summer and it’s the most comfortable skirt I own. Visiting from Whims Wednesday party.
Thanks Victoria! 🙂 Yes, jeans-turned-skirts are so comfortable!
I love the mint green color as well. The skirt turned out so cute and I can’t believe you made those shoes! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Love the mint green – looks great as a skirt and would have done as jeans, too. The matching shoes is a wonderful idea.
Thanks so much, Pam!
