Refashion Trial - Start Small

I had this idea in my head for a while now. A flounce skirt from jeans. However, I thought it would be better to start off small, making it for my daughter instead of me.

My daughter's old jeans. Too torn to donate to charity:

I converted it into a skirt:

But it's too short. I think I like my girls in longer skirts:

I cut a few of these circles, from freecycled fabric.


Mathy stuff:: The circumference of the inner circle has to be measured slightly smaller than you'd expect. This is because the circle has to be cut on the bias at some point, and this causes the fabric to stretch. If you cut the circumference to the exact size that you want, it will end up being too big to attach to the skirt.

Here's the skirt, with three layer of flounce:
You probably noticed that I did not do such a great job with the hems. I ironed, and was very careful with it, but I failed with the slippery material. I will definitely be staying away from fabric like this. It still looked very cute, and my daughter really likes it.

She has a fever this morning, and she did not feel like taking pictures. However, we both had fun putting together some outfits. We came out with this:

She's now resting on the couch, wearing this adorable getup.....

So, what do you think? Should I make an adult version of the flounce skirt?
