Our panel liked the idea of creating a denim skirt by reducing leg jeans off just above the knee, ripping the seams on the legs, and realigning the fabric in an inverted "V" using fabric cut-off legs to bridge the gaps. For those with more advanced sewing machine, they recommended the deconstruction of several pairs of jeans, cut them into pieces to create a color block sundress, inverting the denim in various places to add the difference in design. And for beginners, turning jeans into a purse or tote bag is a simple project. (You can also make capris or boot cut jeans in straight leg or narrow cut .)
