how to turn skinny jeans into wide leg shorts! (thrift flip/upcycle!)

Описание: You will need:
1 pair of skinny jeans
scissors
pencil or sewing chalk
pins
ruler
sewing machine or needle and thread
(optional but useful) seam ripper

Instructions:
1. Put on your skinny jeans and determine how short you want your shorts to be (I measured it to about mid thigh!)
2. Mark with a pencil or sewing chalk the desired length and cut the jeans. You’ll have three pieces: the shorts, and 2 legs
3. Seam rip and/or cut along the 2 sides and crotch seams of the shorts
4. Cut both legs of the jeans to get 2 flat pieces of fabric
5. From the scrap leg fabric, cut:
2 trapezoids with height: “side seam length,” (for me, this was 13.5 inches) bottom edge: 4 inches, and top edge: 0.75 inches
1 rectangle measuring “crotch seam length” (for me, this was 14.5 inches x 3.5 inches
6. Pin the rectangle to the crotch seam, right sides together and the trapezoids to the left and right sides of the shorts. Try the shorts on and make adjustments as necessary
7. Flip the shorts inside out and sew, right sides together. Be sure to take out pins as you sew so they don’t interfere with the machine!
8. You’re done!
