how to turn skinny jeans into wide leg shorts! (thrift flip/upcycle!)
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!

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!

this is so helpful!! you explained everything really well,, but im wondering how you got the width measurements for the crotch panel?
@carrielucky10

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 :))
