Got a wild hair and pulled out some girlie fabric and a pair of old boys jeans with no knee left in them.
I had this idea that I could one-up a skirt and pair of bloomers for feminine play clothes, so in foof-a-fying this cast off, I managed to satiate my creative streak while recycling something that looked like it had no life left in it.
I do think a pair of blingy cowgirl boots would step it up a notch!
All in all, it was a fun project (and quick, which is my speed), and made the girl smile.
I'm smiling too :-)

Love it 'Lene, you always did have the best ideas! I hope you don't mind if I'm so bold as to immitate you. Don't have too many of the boy varity jeans around here, but even the girlie ones get holes.
I knew you could improve this Shauna - just promise to post pictures!
Loving you,
me
How Darling--and practical too! I am sure these doll-ed up jeans are going to be in big demand in your house. Too bad you don't have time to be an online entrepreneur--these look like $$$$ to me. Wonderful idea, Ana dearest! Yep--need girlie boots...(making mental notes for a future occasion...)
Love it!! GO mom. My girl is asking for a dress... I just don't know if my sewing skills are there yet.
P.S. Can I have a pair too...??? P-l-e-a-s-e? :o)
No wonder you like them Mom - that fabric was YOURS! HA!
Linda - no skill required on this project. Promise!
For one leg, sew your fabric strip to make a complete circle (like you would a skirt.
Sew a couple long running stitches about 1/2 " apart and pull threads to gather.
Pin skirt to pant cutoff right sides together.
That's pretty much it.
