What to do once those pants aren't mod any more? Cut them up and make something new.

Advertiser Fashion Forum member Jennifer Yoshimori decided to make a skirt out of her old jeans. She calls it "Victoria's Secrets Revealed."

How long it took: three hours.

Inspired by: "I had a pair of jeans I didn't like and wanted to make them into something wearable."

Materials used: thread and a sewing machine.

What she did: ripped out the seam that runs down inside of pant leg (inseam) and sewed front of leg to back at sides and seams down front and back. Cut a slit in back to facilitate walking.
