I did this once before and it didn't come out how I liked but I still wore it. I don't think I crossed over right. Thanks for sharing this video, I am going to try it again.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! I am transitioning from wearing pants to wearing skirts. I didn't want to get rid of perfectly good pants. I love the way you did the panel in the middle. It is so hard to find modest denium skirts in stores. Quite often they will be long enough, but a have a huge slit in the back. Your description on how do to this project was clear and well described. I am going to take a look at your other videos! Keep doing what you are doing!
This is a good way to look at order to do this project. I hand stitched mine oh brother, but other than that you are right and I had fun watching this video. You have a great and blessed day. 🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Your video showed exactly what you need to do! I started this project without looking anything up and became confused as how to sew the seams. I’ve had my Jean to skirt project sitting for 6 months!!! And tomorrow I’m going to finish it! Tara 😊
Thank God there is people giving this kind of tutorials I have a couple of jeans I was going to throw away but I decided to find this videos to help me recycle them and have more skirts in my closet. I'm pentecostal and sometimes it's hard to find nice jean skirts at the store, thank you very much and God bless!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I followed your lead and made a really cute skirt for Homecoming at my church! We are having a college theme. Now I have a skirt to compliment my alma mater T shirt! AGGIE PRIDE!
You're right ,happy sewing. Well I'm getting ready to go in my closet and get all of the jeans I can't wear anymore and reverse them into skirts. Thank you for the tutorial. I would like to thank my grandma and my 8th grade teacher, teaching me how to sew on a sewing machine
That was fun to watch. I have seen jean skirts done that way before and wondered how I could change the design some. Lace inserts would be fun too. You make it look so easy.
I'm so new to sewing...and I love how you explain things so well. I'm looking forward to starting projects. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
I like the crease on the front too! it gives your skirt character! Excellent tutorial! I have a lot of jeans I want to do this for my daughter, and this is perfect timing!!!
This is exactly the style I was looking for!!! Thank goodness for you, you made it look so easy, now I hope it will be that easy for me I haven't been at my machine in years for anything but crafts.
you made this look so simple! I've been searching a simple way ti make skirts and use up some of the many blue jeans I have. Thank you so much! blessings everyone!
Niler Taylor your so welcome! I shared w some friend's and they loved this as well. We're planning a skirt making day! Will be so much fun lol. Blessings to y'all!
Thanks for this video.... I love the tip on removing the previous stitching... My cousin has a denim skirt made from old jeans and an african print fabric and I have been dying to make something similar for myself.... This video will be very helpful.
This is by far the best tutorial on YT; I have watched several but this one makes me feel confident to do a sew along. I like how you didn't veer off into any stories or forget that your were recording. I'm trying this soon and will let you know what I come up with! Great job~ Thumbs up definitely
I know exactly what you mean. I hate it when creators give a lonnnnng drawn out story about "nothing". I never want my videos to be like that. I'm so glad that you see my videos as straight forward and to the point. Thanks so much for watching and for the very nice comment!
Thank you for your detailed video! I have always been afraid to attempt this challenge! Thanks to your video, I am ready to tackle this project. I LOVE skirts made out of jogging pants material! They are so comfortable. I am ready to create! Again, thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays!
I touch them up, but I take them to the local repair shop for the big sharpening.. Hi Martha, you can add gussettes to each side to give her the fabric that she needs. I cut my gussettes in a triangle style especially if no fabric is needed in the waist. Hope this helps...thanks for asking! Niler
Yes I am. I'm recovering from a major surgery and a near death experience that landed me in ICU for a week after the surgery. I have a few more weeks of recovery and I will be back making videos. Thanks so much for asking.
Amazing job! I am excited to hit the store and find my pair of men's trousers to transform to a wonderful skirt! Thank you for a great tutorial and fantastic idea. Shelly
Awesome video, was just asking today how to turn pants to a skirt. Your videos are awesome. I just did the DIY gift box tutorial for mother's day gifts a week ago.
As always a great tutorial, Niler. So professional! You make everything look so easy to do. I love the way you cut fabric , so quickly and it is perfect! I love your tutorials. :)
Thank you for this video, was looking for something creative my daughter and I could do with some of her old jeans that still fit her in the waist but are coming up her ankles. I think I will have a "sewing party" and invite a few of her friends over with their jeans to transform into skirts and do a lil fashion show afterwards. You made the steps and process so easy to follow. THANK YOU!
You are so welcome. Thanks so much for sharing and also for the "sewing party" tip. I'll have to keep that one in my for my friends also. Happy Sewing!
thank you for this video! im making my daughters minion dress costume by hand no sewing machine and have to use hot glue or fabric glue. im stitchinh some of it. but i did not know it was this easy! i was terrified of messing this up for her! thank u thank u!
I’m impressed. You did a really great job! I’ve seen many ppl try this and it always looks so funky! Yours actually is the nicest I’ve ever seen and would actually wear this myself. That’s saying a lot for me bc I wouldnt be caught dead in all the other ones! They added really nice material the whole 9 yards but they could drip their projects in gold , if it looks lousy it looks lousy no mater how they TRYYYY to dress it up🤣😂🤣
LOL Roxy...I agree. The fabric choice will not make the end result look good if the construction is bad...I'm just saying! Thank you so much for your nice and honest comment..Happy Sewing!
hi niler , your video is just wonderful and very easy to follow! can u please suggest a way how to change my daughters small sized jeans to skirts as the she has outgrown them! thankyou once again!
I do have a video on how to convert old jeans to skirts. Go to my channel and try typing in back to school. It should pop up for you. Let me know if you have trouble finding it. Thanks for asking.
Thank you for doing this. Can you do one using a men's jeans? I'm not sure what to do since the waist is much bigger than I want the skirt to be. Thanks
I was just asking the same thing, because I was pulling my jeans and other capris out of my closet and ,due to the weight loss thank you Jesus I can turn my stuff into skirts now yay. I Google it to see how to turn pants and capris into skirts and your video came up thank you for the tutorial I know I said that in the beginning
I did this once before and it didn't come out how I liked but I still wore it. I don't think I crossed over right. Thanks for sharing this video, I am going to try it again.

Great details! I made a skirt a few days ago from old jeans & a camoflouage thermal shirt.

This is really a great way to recycle jeans. It is even cuter when you do a pair of bibs like this and make a jumper. Did this year's ago lots of fun.
Trayne1837 I'm sure they were cute!
