I have been trying a few new techniques for updating denim skirts. I've seen a lot of jeans made into skirts and skirts with gathered tiers added but when I saw a skirt with a knitted lace flounce I just had to try my hand at the look. I added a row of blanket stitching using size 3 cotton in off white. I used an embroidery needle making it quite easy to get through the denim. After the blanket stitching was in place I used cotton yarn and picked up one stitch in each blanket stitch. I choose a simple 10 stitch repeat lace pattern and began the knitted section repeating the pattern until the yarn ran out. The finished skirt is about 18 inches long. I love the look! If you like it the finished skirt if for sale on my Etsy shop.
