Jean Skirt - Step 2 - Pin

I have completed steps one and two for my skirt :) I will have the full directions (w/ pics!) up by the time it's finished!

Step one - Seam rip up the inside of the leg, & part of the inseam (where the pants come together). You can cut the seams, but seam ripping allows more room for errors (if it happens). It's also straighter, and doesn't take all that long to seam rip!


Step two - Pin the pointed shape from where the pants come together. (both front and back)

Front:
I seam ripped up about an inch or so below the zipper, then (make sure the jeans are laying as flat as possible) pinned it after overlapping part of the pointed pieces. Be sure not to pin the front and back together!

Back: 
I seam ripped up to just a few inches (maybe 3 or 4) below the waisband where the belt loops are. For these pants, it's just about where the bottom of the pockets are. This section was tricky to make lay flat, but it worked after a few trys!

The next step is to create a pattern for the fabric peices!
