You Will Need (2 things)

Steps (22 steps, 60 minutes)

1
Start by cutting the jeans about 2/3 of the way up from the knees
-
2
They'll look like shorts
-
3
Unseam between the legs
-
4
Itll look like this
-
5
Keep unseaming up to this point
-
6
Fold seams so the 2 legs sit on top of each other like in the picture
-
7
Cut a square from one of the leftover legs
-
8
Square
-
9
Place underneath the front "triangle" of the skirt
-
10
Sew along the seams - I only had black thread, grey would have been a lot more suitable
-
11
Front of the skirt all sewed
-
12
On the back unseam to about this point
-
13
Legs will sit on top of each other like so
-
14
Tuck seams away and pin
-
15
And sew!

If possible take another skirt and use a chalk to mark the desired length. Another option is to try the skirt on and mark the length required.

18
Cut to desired length

19
Tidy inside square by cutting around edge...

...to look like this

I like to go over the edges of the seams with the sewing machine to make sure the skirt doesnt fall apart, but this is up to you.
