Shorts to Skirt DIY


A while back I turned a skirt into a pair of shorts (see post). This time I did the opposite. 

This was a whole lot easier.

I basically ripped out the center seam, turned the shorts inside out, and sewed along the dashed lines as shown below: 


I cut off the excess and hemmed as necessary. And that was it! 

Cost of project? Just the shorts, which I thrifted here for $3.50. And it has pockets! :)

  1. That is so cute! That is one of my new favorite colors, too. Next time I go to the thrift store, I am going to look for some old lady shorts to make into skirts. And I love that it has pockets. So handy!
