After many sews ans seam rips trying to take my jeans in I said forget it! And made a jean skirt. The jeans are originally from pacsun but I don't car for their jeans, they don't fit me well and a loose in all the wrong places. The thighs were to loose and the ass saged after a veiw hours. It is sad my favorite jeans are from wet seal but they discontinued the style... Okay so anyway :)First things first. Get your handy dandy seam ripper and rip the seams of the inner leg all the way from ankle to crotch. Next rip from crop to bottom of zipper, NOT THE TOP. Then rip from crotch to the bottom of the belt loop.. .
Open your pants up and make them look like this:
Now pin it. I made my skirt long, then put it on marked how short I wanted it then cut it shorter but the choice is yours
Now sew along the pins, remember to leave a seam allowance. * There is a funky little trianlge that sticks out in the front. You can see it in the picture. When sewing there exclude it just make a straight line, if you follow the triangle you will look like you have a micro penis. Okay so sew the sides up. put it on and mark how short you want it. Take off cut at place and sew.
Walla!
Note: If your skirt is to big and you need to take it in, when ripping up the back cut all the way up, take into desire sew, excluding belt loop area, Then open skirt over lap the belt loop area, sew, cover new seem with belt loop. I know this is hard to understand so feel free to ask questions.
