@@gabolina1911 hi! you open the skirt from the hem and insert the front skirt area on your machine. (basically your back part is now under your machine) you can see closely on her video on how the skirt is placed!
@@haoshan24 thank you for replying! I ended up sewing from the bottom of the skirt up. Which sort of worked.. I’m not sure if it was because I was using a very thick denim, but I couldn’t get the fabric under the machine :/ and I accidentally went through both sides at one point..no matter how I was positioning it just wasn’t working for me. This was my very first time sewing so I’m sure I’ll get it eventually.
That's exactly what I want to do. I bought some capri pants and they're too big cuz I wanted them so bad I order from big woman size and I can't wear them I need to make them into a skirt so hopefully this video works
I have a very helpful tip for your next deconstruction project! Look up how to remove a chainstitch seam.. you don’t have to unpick the entire inseam, it will unravel if you pull from the correct side! Saves so much time 😊
i love this tutorial, thank you so much!! but i just wanna recommend everyone to press/iron their pants once every step or just before doing everything so that it would be easier to work with (this was taught by my clothing construction professor and it really makes a big difference).
Thanks so much for this video! I really liked how you kept the little V split at the back. I did the same with my skirt and it came out great! Much appreciated 👏
@@clothesnbits hru?? Must have been nice to have a break... unless u were really busy 😔. Also, don't worry about being gone for too long, ur videos are always amazing!! I'll always be here (if school doesnt get in the way 😭). 🤍🤍🤍🤍
aww, so sweet!! 🥹🤍 i'm doing good! been working a lot on the side lately and also on an exciting project for u guys :) the break was def needed. hope u doing good as well!! 💓💓
Really excellent tutorial. What a great use for the capris I never wear! I am just about finished making a maxi out of jeans I don’t wear. Deconstructing an extremely well-made jeans was not easy and I made some small rips but was able to hide them when I pinned. Don’t be afraid to try!
Questo modello è da TANTI ANNI che esiste . Qualcuna se lo faceva a casa , ma c' era ANCHE la produzione !! Vedo che la ragazza è in gamba a lavorare , brava !!! 👏👏👏
hi I have a question, I was thinking of making this and actually started and opened the pants but I was thinking of that part of the pants where there is a triangle, you just mixed it with the skirt but I don't really like how it looks like, can I just cut that extra fabric to have a normal skirt view ?
sewing by hand is also possible! it just takes longer, but it adds a nice handmade feel to it and can make a garment even more special! in the end it's all about stitching fabric together, so by hand should be possible as well :)
I tried making my old cargo pants into midi skirt by hand sewing (cause i cant afford it right now) , its not the best but i really like how it turn out that a made another one out of denim pants
i know im super late to this but i ws makng this and i am really struggling on the back the thing to keep the fabric in place is too low and it keeps getting stuck any tips
Could you use a twill fabric seam binding ribbon which would enclose a cord secured at the bottom that you would pull at the top? You'd have to secure the top of the cord somehow, maybe with a cute button.
Can you show the upcycling of the white pants u showed in your ig I saw that u cut some fabric and I want to do exactly like that one. They are so cuteeee ❤️
hi! a regular fit should also work! i'd then suggest to make a higher split at the back, so there will be enough room to walk. if it's a skinny fit i'm afraid it would fit a bit too tight due the seam allowance
thank you! if you don't have any fabric left to close the front gap, you can also leave it open! it's a personal preference ofc, but i think it would look nice as well :) and if you do want to close it, then i'd suggest to try finding a similar fabric somewhere else (maybe thriftshop/market or another old piece in your own wardrobe) to use it for the gap
Hi, I have a new pair of pants from my dad. He didn't want to use them. They are bigger than my size. How could I turn them into a skirt if I' m a petite woman?. Greetings from Lilian
hey, if the waistband of the pants is double sided, you could cut a hole on the inner layer and insert an elastic waistband to make the waist fitted. then if you follow the tutorial and make the width a bit smaller it could potentially work out i think :)
hii! if u got any questions, lmk down here 🤍
how did you place the skirt on the sewing machine so they it wouldnt sew through the front and the back

what is the song? love this video!! going to follow it to make long skirts
Hi did you use a straight stitch?
I was on depop and saw someone selling a skirt they made out of cargo capris and I really wanted to know how to make one. Perfect timing 👍
awww :) now it's your turn! 🤍✨🪡
@@clothesnbits would this work with any type of pants?
That's exactly what I want to do. I bought some capri pants and they're too big cuz I wanted them so bad I order from big woman size and I can't wear them I need to make them into a skirt so hopefully this video works

Just made this. Very very easy to follow. The only thing i did differently is use the rest to make pockets for my skirts. Happy sewing guys 😊

You did a really great job! I Have 3 denim pants to do and I'm confident after your great tutorial 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
thanks you so much!! i'm sure it will turn out great with that confidence, good luck! 🙌🤍
@@clothesnbits thanks ! 😊

Such a good teacher 👍😊

I AYE-DORE that skirt! I want to make several of those b/c as I get older I need skirts that are longer. Thank you for teaching me this.
Great tutorial! Thanx for the detailed vid.
beautiful skirt!!
quality content as always👏

hi I have a question, I was thinking of making this and actually started and opened the pants but I was thinking of that part of the pants where there is a triangle, you just mixed it with the skirt but I don't really like how it looks like, can I just cut that extra fabric to have a normal skirt view ?
Wow that sounds great thanks so much
Thank you so much for this tutorial! For now I only ripped off the inseam... I've never done any sewing, I'm afraid to ruin it😅
Go for it! The worst that would happen is that you have to unstitch a mistake. And you’ve already done that. 😃
That's so cool. Love it!♡
thank you! 🙏✨
It’s beautiful!!
Thank you so much! I made it skirts.
I love it! I have a man's pair khaki similar pair but really to big for me I have been looking to create a similar idea from.
Great tutorial 😊
Great tutorial. Thanks
This tutorial was very clear and understandable
Awesome video/instructions. Thank you !
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL 🌸🌸🌸
Beautiful explanation thank you soooooooo much ❤
Dope! I'm can't wait to make these
Is it possible to sew it together again without a sewing machine? I currently don’t have one :((
Also this is such a good tutorial thank you!!
sewing by hand is also possible! it just takes longer, but it adds a nice handmade feel to it and can make a garment even more special! in the end it's all about stitching fabric together, so by hand should be possible as well :)
Wow it's beautiful
hey I wanted to know if this will work on a skinny jeans
Great tutorial, thank you!
Thanks for share your tutorial!!!
I tried making my old cargo pants into midi skirt by hand sewing (cause i cant afford it right now) , its not the best but i really like how it turn out that a made another one out of denim pants
I was wondering if i sew the full trouser from the front will it be hard to walk?
you can cut a high split at the back, then it will be walkable!
Right I was so bored I just make me a long skirt it’s so pretty good video 😊❤
This was done years ago. Thanks for the update
Thank you....excellent tutorial.
they were so cute as pants too lol
i know im super late to this but i ws makng this and i am really struggling on the back the thing to keep the fabric in place is too low and it keeps getting stuck any tips
What kind of steamer did you use?
Missed youuu 🥺
🥺🤍✨
They're all doing good
WOWWWW SO COOLLLLL
🤍🤍🤍
"oh, let's turn my old jeans into a skirt, how hard can that be?" I literally got lost at the first step.
😂
it looks so cool i wanna do this so bad but i don't know how to sew and i have no pants to upcycle
If we wanted to add ruching on the sides with a drawstring how can we go about that? I can’t envision how to create the channels
Could you use a twill fabric seam binding ribbon which would enclose a cord secured at the bottom that you would pull at the top? You'd have to secure the top of the cord somehow, maybe with a cute button.
Thank you so much.🌺
Can you show the upcycling of the white pants u showed in your ig I saw that u cut some fabric and I want to do exactly like that one. They are so cuteeee ❤️
Off to the thrift store I go
Great video!
i did this but with a 3/4 camo demin jeans
I have the same machine love it
YAAASSS thank you so much!!!!!
you're welcome!! and good luck!!! 🤍✨
Hi do the pants have to have an oversized look to fit like this?
hi! a regular fit should also work! i'd then suggest to make a higher split at the back, so there will be enough room to walk. if it's a skinny fit i'm afraid it would fit a bit too tight due the seam allowance
@@clothesnbits okay that is great to know, once I get my hands on a pair of jeans no one wears I will try out your tutorial
Thank you Girl❤
Hii !!
This is really great idea but
I have a doubt what if u don't want to cut the excess how can I cover the front ?
thank you! if you don't have any fabric left to close the front gap, you can also leave it open! it's a personal preference ofc, but i think it would look nice as well :) and if you do want to close it, then i'd suggest to try finding a similar fabric somewhere else (maybe thriftshop/market or another old piece in your own wardrobe) to use it for the gap
@@clothesnbits thank you very much will definitely try it out
