wardrobe refashion: pants to skirt

May 23, 2009 | 4 Comments

I finished the refashion of those denim pants that made me look like I was waiting for a flood. It was much easier than I thought. I have a pair of khakis that are the same style. I think I’m going to to take some pics next time and write up a tutorial.

refashion: sewing a cute skirt is a great way to transform out-dated pants so you can continue to wear and enjoy them.

    Yes please, on the tutorial! I have a pair of denim capri pants that I’d love to turn into a knee-length skirt, but I’ve been too chicken to experiment with it! Your skirt looks great!
