I wanted to share a short and easy way to change pant's into a skirt. Remember I am no professional seamstress so I like to take short cuts when I can to make it easier and less time consuming.
{The size pants you should get is the size you are in and a wide pant leg. Or if you think it would be better to get a size bigger you would be safe doing that as well}
Here we go!

Here we go!
1.First Take a cool pair of Jeans from Abercrombie to...ahem $6.00 pants at ross
2. Chop off the Legs evenly
3. Cut the inner leg (much better than using the seam ripper!)
4. Cut all the way around Lookin good!
5. Take the pant leg (london is trying to help me)
6. Cut the side of the seam to make it open
7. Dont forget to cut to the top of the crotch area so it can fold over
Like this!!
8. Stuff the open pant leg under the open area
9. Then cut the leg to make it even as the skirt part and PIN
10. Then start to SEW!! I like to do a straight stitch.
Tip: I sew the skirt one time around then when im all done I go back in and re-inforce the skirt
we don't want no split bootie accidents!
11. Then go inside and cut the access jean
12. Wahlla there is your front part!! Then do the same thing on the back side
13. Don't forget to cut to the top of the bootie so it can cross over like on the front part
Like this!!!
Do the same as the front then start to SEW!!!
There you have it a awesome Jean skirt
LAST STEP DON'T FORGET: Sew a straight stitch all around the bottom of the hem to hold to bottom of the skirt together. When you wash the skirt will fray and have a cool look. HAVE FUN!!
