My mother bought my daughter a pair of thrift store jeans that had a huge crotch in them that would never fit her. I decided to cut the legs off and make them into a skirt.
I used the pant legs to create the bottom ruffle and cut two additional strips of fabric for the other two ruffles I had planned.
I gathered each one of the strips to form the ruffles. First I added the denim ruffle, sewing right sides together to the bottom and then topstitched it. Then I added the tulle ruffle, and finally the fabric ruffle sewing the wrong sides to the right sides of the skirt. I made sure each ruffle overlapped the other. I then used the ribbon to finish off the top edge of the fabric ruffle.
Now my daughter has a cute skirt she loves to wear instead of an ill-fitting pair of pants!
