how to turn skinny jeans into wide leg shorts! (thrift flip/upcycle!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- 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!

end of an era 😩
they simply need to go T.T
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for to move forward with altering some thrifted black skinny shorts. Since they are already short, I plan to use some scrap fabric for the extra pieces and then play with embroidery to blend things together.
that sounds awesome!! thank you so much for watching :)
This was a great tutorial easy to follow and the project itself was sooooo fast (which I needed because I was making these less than 12 hours before I wanted to wear them lol)
If you’re reading this as your about to do the project I hope it goes well! Trust the process!
I'm so glad it was clear for you! thank you very much for watching :)

love your vids, you diversify your content everytime. keep griding!
thank you so much for watching and supporting!! It means so much to me :)
this is so helpful!! you explained everything really well,, but im wondering how you got the width measurements for the crotch panel?
Hi! The width for the crotch panel is honestly a guess - It's dependent on your own skinny jean size and how much distance you want to add.
If you want to experiment with a size before cutting into your skinny jeans, I would recommend using a scrap piece of fabric or towel, cutting that to size, and pinning it to your deconstructed short to see what width is best!
Thank you so much for watching :))

FOR FREEEEEE
FOR FREEEEEE~~~~~
It's cool, will try if I have time!

Thank you!
How do you figure out the with for the crotch and side leg?
hi! I have a diagram at 3:38 that could help with the crotch rectangle dimensions (mine were ultimately 3.5 in. x 14 in.)
At 4:20 there is another diagram that could help with the side trapezoid dimensions. (height 13.5 in., long edge 6 in., short edge 0.75 in.)
I hope this was helpful! thank you so much for watching :)
Thank youuuuu
