Recycled lower trouser legs.
Hubby had a tear at the knee of his trousers. I did not want to make another bag, notebook cover or pencil case (my gift drawer has enough of those) so I did this skirt. Could cut 6 parts out of 3 of the front and back legs and had one remaining to cut the top part - not without a seam. To add a bit of fun I digitised a flower for the front and added two flaps at the back (should have made them shorter - nice to know for next time).

Probably took more time cutting it out than it would have from a piece of fabric but well worth it.

This was a thin quality, much more fit for this small skirt than the usual denim.
