how to turn an old (or new) jeans into a skirt
This is very easy. The difficult part is protecting your ripper and your sewing machine from the thick fabric.

Step 9
Pin the parts you ripped apart. Front leg to the other front leg. Back leg to the other back leg. Your skirt will be recognizable at this point. Sew and hem. Make sure that the front part is flat and not bunched up when you sew the legs together. You might need to patch (with fabric taken from the pant legs you cut off) this part so that you’ll have a flat area.
Pictured is the back part of the
skirt. Front and side are in the project summary images.

Ah Ha!!! A way to make baby jeans last longer! They're always too short before they're too tight in the waist!
