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.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Choose jeans to reconstruct.
-
Step 2Measure your skirt length.
-
Step 3Cut. Do not forget hem allowances.
-
Step 4Once you cut the two legs, you will have something that looks like this.
-
Step 5Rip the inseam. This would be the seam that starts from the crotch. If you’re reconstructing heavy denim (this one is canvass-like), you may use cutter for ripping. I have heard stories of people breaking their rippers while doing this project. Just be very careful.
-
Step 6Once you’re done ripping both inseams, you will have something that looks like this. A funny-looking piece of garment.
-
Step 7Now rip the seam all the way to the bottom of the front zipper. Do the same to the back side. Make sure to rip all the way to the butt area.
-
Step 8At this point, you will have something similar to this.
-
Step 9Pin 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.

skirt. Front and side are in the project summary images.
