This one is a joy-filled marathon as I upcycle plain jeans to make awesome wide-leg jeans, a sexy straight denim maxi skirt, and a beautiful tiered skirt. This might just be my best video yet!

Denim and plaid. Tell us you're Canadian without telling us you're Canadian! You are an inspiration. Not only are your ideas brilliant, your execution is top tier. I'm learning so much from you and you have inspired me to get a scissors to my old unloved wardrobe. I'm feeling so good about it, thanks to you Catherine.

Brilliant use of textiles! I was so glad you decided to keep the jeans with wide legs. I was nervous, as for me, finding thrifted jeans that fit would be already enough of a triumph. IMO long skirts don’t get worn as much as well fitting jeans anyway. I had a really cute jean-skirt, but it kept pushing my underwear down, so that was enough of that! (I hope the mosquitos kept out of your lumberjack skirt at the party!)

The wide legged jeans bring back memories of the 70's. I remember making a pair of pants with bottoms at least that wide. My dad teased me that I could get my pants caught in the door standing a foot away from the door. Your jeans are cuter than my pants were.

Catherine, you are a blessing!! I have a pair of dress pants that fit well, but they have flared legs. And they are NOISY when I walk through the office (which is quiet) - it's like I'm wearing corduroy or something!! So I appreciate on these wide leg jeans how you used the yardstick to mark and I did the reverse. Much quieter now!!

Loved the flare jeans too, glad you didn’t sacrifice them for the skirt. You could add cute lace panels to that hug skirt to get some fun flare. I’ve seen a few of those and they look pretty and a bit whimsical. But I loved all the items you made. Even dying to make a broom skirt and I really like the flannel one! Thanks again for another great video. I look forward to the new ones every week while I catch up with the older ones😄😄

I have a festival in the summer, and one of the bands we are going to see is a Scottish inspired Rockband, and everyone will wear their Kilts. I will make myself this lovely plaid skirt for that. I have a favorite pair of grey jeans that is ripped in the crotch,wich would be perfect for that, an also and old black and grey denim jeans I just couldnt throw out yet. So i can make the denim skirt as well.This inspired me so much, and gives me the bravery to tackle it myself. Thank you for that Katherine. Thinking of putting the buttons to be all in the front, and only sew closed the top part so I could have it open on the bottom as a slit :)
