- 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!

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 :)
end of an era 😩
they simply need to go T.T
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 :)

It's cool, will try if I have time!
thank you so much for watching!
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 :))
Thank you!
im such a visual learner the diagrams helped so much!!!! u are baller for putting in that extra effort thank u🙏🏻
thank you so much!! making the diagrams are always my favorite part and I'm glad they were helpful :)
Thank youuuuu
Just came back to say I turned some jeans into shorts with a baggy effect all because of ur video. Really appreciate it x
@@tiyana321 yay I'm so glad!! thank you for watching :)
Hellooo, hhaha i was planning to convert old skinny jeans that arent really used to wide leg jeans so this tutorial is very well made but I do have a concern, its the same thing applied for jeans right? Just without the cutting part to make it as jorts(jean shorts) still same principle but measurements wilk be different?
yes I think it will work just the same!! I hope it works out and thank you so much for watching :)
Graciass
How did you sew at the top part near the hip??
hi, thank you so much for watching!
Because the fabric piece on the side is a trapezoid, as long as you put right sides together along the pant triangle, the trapezoid should fill it in quite nicely. As you're sewing around the hip area, just lift your sewing foot and rotate your pants so it's a continuous thread from bottom -> top -> bottom.
I hope that was clear but let me know if you have more questions!
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 :)
Hii! I have a problem! I dont have a sewing machine so i decided to hand sew
But im quite struggling on how to do it becaus im not tht good, do u mind explaining?😢
Hi! I honestly haven't done much hand sewing for clothes, but here is a video that might be helpful: th-cam.com/video/EZngDWBk0xE/w-d-xo.html
