I wanted to transform some old jeans into a new skirt without that tell-tale triangle that screams "I used to be jeans!"

You Will Need (6 things)
- Jeans
- Thread
- Scissors
- Safety Pin
- Pins
- Seam Ripper
Steps (5 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Try on your jeans and use a safety pin to mark the length you want your skirt to be. Cut off legs an inch or two below that to allow for future fraying.
-
2
Cut on both sides of inseam, removing seam altogether.
-
3
Use seam ripper to open up front seam to just below zipper and back seam to about the same height.
-
4
Turn jeans inside-out and pin new front and back seams straight down. Sew and trim off excess fabric.
-
5
Use tan thread to top-stitch along new seams, to mimic the look of the original seams.
