The sewing pattern for a denim skirt with side slit.
Jeans skirt sewing pattern in midi length with side slit for sewing.
Project duration: about 8 hours
Design
Originally, it was the idea of the hippies in the 1960s to turn their old denim pants into long recycled denim skirts. In the mainstream fashion, the denim skirt entered 10 years later and has not lost its relevance since then. Meanwhile, denim skirts come in all variations, with the Frida Skirt drawing from the classic elements of a pair of jeans. The denim skirt pattern has a traditional denim pants zipper fly zipper with metal button, visible seams, side pockets, patch rectangular pockets on the bottom and the absolute highlight: the high slit in the side seam, which can also be closed lower at your discretion. Tip: You’re into upcycling instead of new fabrics? You can sew yourself the denim skirt from an old pair of jeans by cutting up old denim pants and using a patchwork technique to assemble them into a “new” fabric. You will then use this for The Frida Skirt pattern. This is how you create a unique and sustainable garment! The pattern for The Frida Skirt includes sizes XS-XXXL.
