Happy Valentine's Day

I am excited to share with you my newest "try it out" project that I used my new serger to complete! I had read through several different blogs and looked at several Pinterest pictures of cutting off blue jeans to turn it into a skirt. I loved the idea since blue jeans either get too short, worn out, or need to be passed from brother to sister. I already had the design for a raggy heart applique shirt for my daughter, and I decided that a re-purposed ruffled denim skirt would go great with it. I had plenty of scraps of material, so I thought I would give it a try to make my first piece of clothing with my serger.

I decided on adding three layers of ruffles to my cut off jeans-turned skirt. The materials from the ruffles are also used in the raggy heart applique that I added to her shirt. She absolutely loves it, and I do too!
