How Do You Make Pants Into A Skirt?
If you have an old pair of jeans or slacks that you want to repurpose, making them into a chic skirt is a good option. It only takes an afternoon and some rudimentary sewing skills to take those holey old jeans and make them into a skirt that you can wear every day. You can even use fabric that you already have so that it doesn’t cost a penny. Lay the pants down onto a clean, flat working surface. Choose the length of the skirt by cutting the jeans horizontally, as if you were making jeans shorts. Turn the pants inside out, and use a seam ripper to rip the inseams of the pants so that they are no longer attached. Use the seam ripper to rip the seams down the outside edge of the pants. The only thing still attached should be the waistband of the pants, with four unattached panels. Choose whether you want the skirt to be uniform with the same fabric in the panel, in which case you can cut the discarded pant legs to fit, or use a different swatch of fabric to sew in as the panel.
