    I've been recently watching up cycling jeans from several channels and I swear yours is hands down the best. You didn't make it complicated just clear and concise on how to do this wonderful maxi skirt. Thank you thank you thank you I will be making this skirt today for me to wear this weekend. ❤❤❤❤❤

    This reminds me of the mid 70's when I was a teenager, graduated in 76 and this skirt was so popular in our high school, still love it and the boho, hippie, gypsy style!!! My era, my favorite!!❤❤❤❤

    I have just discovered your channel, thank you YT! I love repurposing clothes for myself. It started when I was 13 years old (‘66) with a pair of jeans, then on to my aunts gorgeous felt circular skirt, that became a cape and I have been happily adapting clothes ever since. What started as necessities, became a great way to have one off pieces. I am going to like it here! ☘️💚☘️
  • Just when I think that you can’t get any more awesome you make something like this I totally love it. I’m so grateful I found your channel. Love your designs your personality. It’s so nice and refreshing to see someone so creative. Get out there and share their talents. Thank you, Tracy.
  • I finally did it, made jeans into a maxi skirt and had so much fun doing it. It does do my head in having un-neatened seams. My mother was a seamstress in the 20's & 30's and taught my sister and myself the fundamentals of dressmaking and unfinished seams and hems was a no no. I have enjoyed the experience. Thank you. Keep your tutorials coming, I love them.
  • You have a talent for teaching! I love this idea. Usually there are jeans everywhere! Instead of throwing jeans away this is a very inventive idea.
  • This is so cool ! Makes me feel like I'm back in the 70s again. 🥰 You are awesome to show us how to make it. TY
  • This was fun to watch!! I made one of these back in the 70’s (I’m 68 now) and painted on it with acrylic paints. I also made a short skirt with bib overalls. Thanks for the flash back!!

    Knowing that I'll never fit in my favorite jeans again is so depressing but this is a great way to make them fit again ❤! Love so many of your designs. You are so creative and amazing! So glad I found your channel! ❤❤❤

    This was so fun for me to watch ... a total blast from the past. My best friend in high school (early 80's) used to do this with her old jeans. The more things change, the more they stay the same!

    I have been looking for a great boho project and this is it. Just enough detail and finishing touches. Thank you😅
  • Super glam! Way more glam than what we wore back in the day. Thank you for another great upcycle tutorial sweet soul🥰
  • Adorable !! I love how versatile your looks are 🤩 I agree completely that you can really change the look by changing the shoes, jewelry, and top... TOO CUTE !! 😍
  • While you were cutting all the parts of the pants and putting on the embellishments, I was thinking about how this would all come together. It is an absolutely adorable skirt.
  • I have been so incredibly inspired by you and your videos. Please keep them coming!

    I had been using old jeans I pick up for nearly nothing to make bags. I saw your video and decided to make a skirt from jeans that are worn nearly out. Thanx for making this easy to follow.

    How wonderful to watch you create!!!

    Hi 👋 Tracy !! I haven’t been able 2 watch for about 3 weeks trying to care for my EXTREMELY disabled brother ( but standing on FATHERS PROMISES & having faith he WILL BE HEALED! ROMANS 4:17 CALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS IF THEY WERE !!!)!! I saw you wearing this skirt in your newest vid and I absolutely love it so much , that I couldn’t wait & had to watch it first . LOLOL. 😂😂 I have watched a lot of these & have seen a million on Pinterest & I PROMISE YOU , YOUR JEAN SKIRT , your pattern-style - IS THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM! What I really dig and it makes such a huge difference is that one extra triangle piece you sewed on the outside of what was the pant leg . Somehow it gives the skirt an entirely different look and as I said I absolutely love it !! And you ARE THE ONLY ONE I’ve ever seen do it !!! I wanted to say congratulations on all your new followers ! Your channel just seems to be taking off bc everyone loves your boho creativity lol. I say Boho bc every chance you get you try to put some sorta Tracy Boho spin on whatever project you are working on LOLOL! AND EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH COMES OUT FRIGGEN AMAZING ! In all seriousness I foresee you hitting a million and I believe it will come pretty quick at least compared to others bc your creativity is totally unique & ppl can’t get enough and just love it !! I wanted to ask u if you could give me some suggestions on how I can use these 3 huge garbage bags filled with different colored satin material and other super luxurious materials I’ve been saving for that perfect pattern or project …. Well now that years have passed & afraid I’ll waste it . Your creativity is on a totally different level so maybe you could even come up w/ some kind of project that you could do using satin or something close, & at the same time we all get to see your creative juices at work lol! BOTTOM LINE ITS NOT COTTON OR JEAN MATERIAL so can you show us what cute project / projects you could come up with ? ( crossing my fingers u take on the challenge ) THANK YOU !! ❤😇😁😎🧸
