What to do when my favorite pants get a hole in the crotch... Turn them into a skirt of course!
Cut the bottoms of the pants off just below the knees.
Cut the inseam out of the pants.
Seam rip the inseam open up to the zipper on the front
and up to about the bottom of the pockets on the back.
Fold over and pin the front seam to make a straight seam.
Stitch it! (I did two paralell rows of stitching to mirror the style of stitching on the rest of the pants)
Do the same thing on the back seam (ignore the millions of pins below, I was also sewing a patch to reinforce where the hole was :-) )
Stitch it!
Cut one inseam and the bottom hem off of the leg pieces you cut off before.
Place the resulting piece of fabric inside the skirt, fold the edge and pin it to both legs
Stitch it!
Do the same thing on the back with the other leg and cut the extra fabric out from the back of the seams.
Fold the skirt so the inseams are lined up.
Cut across the bottom to even the hem out
Fold and stitch the hem.
Perfect for looking out at the falling leaves with the baby bear!
Isn't that Sew Cool!
Happy Crafting Everyone!
