Wardrobe Refashion, take 1

My first attempt at re-fashioning an item of clothing. I bought these khaki jeans at least 6 years ago and haven't worn them in quite a while (they are a little short).

Following this tutorial, I created a skirt that isn't too bad. It isn't fantastic, but for a first attempt I'm pleased.




I cut the legs off pretty high- just above the crotch. I didn't want to have to resew the crotch like Procraftinate did.


Oops! Be careful when cutting the legs off... I cut off a corner of a pocket, too!


I used the legs of the pants to lengthen the skirt- I cut them lengthwise, then sewed them together to form the body of the skirt. Then I lined the body up with the top half, pinned them together, and sewed.
