Favorite Jeans Converted to a Skirt

4/13/2019

I killed my favorite pair of jeans last week. It was terrible. I was out on date night with my husband when a worn spot on my inner thigh became a hole.

​Utter, complete facepalm.

I still love these Royalty jeans -- which I got for a super price at Burlington Coat Factory. We've since lost that store (and a few others in the area). I simply wasn't ready to toss my jeans into the trash. I also did not want to decorate the crotch area....so, convert to a jean skirt time.

I did a little online research.... It's not like I had any real idea what I was doing other than cutting off the legs at some point.
I ended up learning the most from this tutorial on Spruce Crafts.

I absolutely did not take pictures of the in-process conversion. That's not my thing and I'm a pretty darn slow seamstress to begin with. It did take me over an hour just to rip out the seams! I used up most of an evening to get the skirt to the point shown below.

Yep, it's not hemmed.

After over 3 hours you might be thinking, "Dang, girl. You should be done!"
​
Like I said, I AM NOT A FAST SEAMSTRESS.
I'm taking this beauty with me when I visit my mom. She will help me hem it up correctly (i.e. adjusting it so the back hits the same location relative to my leg as the front.

I am quite proud of how it's turned out thus far as it has a good fit.
