You Will Need (2 things)

  • 1 x Sewing Machine
  • 1 x Jeans

Steps (22 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start by cutting the jeans about 2/3 of the way up from the knees

  2. 2

    They'll look like shorts

  3. 3

    Unseam between the legs

  4. 4

    Itll look like this

  5. 5

    Keep unseaming up to this point

  6. 6

    Fold seams so the 2 legs sit on top of each other like in the picture

  7. 7

    Cut a square from one of the leftover legs

  8. 8

    Square

  9. 9

    Place underneath the front "triangle" of the skirt

  10. 10

    Sew along the seams - I only had black thread, grey would have been a lot more suitable

  11. 11

    Front of the skirt all sewed

  12. 12

    On the back unseam to about this point

  13. 13

    Legs will sit on top of each other like so

  14. 14

    Tuck seams away and pin

  15. 15

    And sew!

  16. 16

    Back of skirt finished

  17. 17

    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. 18

    Cut to desired length

  19. 19

    Tidy inside square by cutting around edge...

  20. 20

    ...to look like this

  21. 21

    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.

  22. 22

    Yey! New skirt all finished
