Look out world here comes Ada in a denim skirt (maybe 2). Oooop! These are my son's jeans so they are going to be to big in the waist and hips. I will have to think about taking the waistband off and cutting it down for me. ------ Ada

You can flat fell the seams to maintain a bit of that jeans look. ------ "Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God." (G. K. Chesterton)
