Pants Into Skirt

I've been turning pants into skirts so long that it never occurred to me that everyone didn't do it.

This quickie sewing job is easy and fun!

Mark the length you'd like your skirt to be

Using a straight pin mark the length you'd like the skirt to be with a pin.  Cut a little before the pin.  You can always make the skirt shorter later.

Cut excess fabric

Cut the pants into a straight skirt.  Stitch along cut lines.  MAKE SURE TO LEAVE AN OPENING FOR THE SLIT (if you want a slit).  Hem the skirt and embellish if desired.
