Too Tight Jeans Into Dress

If you have some skinny jeans you can't get into anymore, maybe you can still use them. :)

I had these pants for a while, determined I'd lose enough to get into them. Well, enough time is passed, and they've just been sitting in my dresser, so I decided to change them into something useful. I used like 99% of the pants, so I wasn't being wasteful with it. All I did was rip the seam down the crotch, cut the legs in half, used the fabric from the cut off legs to fill in the triangle on each side. I switched the pockets from the back to the front, and I used excess seams I cut off the bottom pieces to make the halter straps.
