How to make a skirt from wide pants. With a slight movement of the hand, the trousers turn... into an elegant skirt! Making a denim miniskirt with slits from jeans: master class

Created 12/07/2015

Altering clothes is far from a sign of poverty. Although, of course, often such a need arises due to a lack of funds for new things. Therefore, old ones are used: frayed jeans are repaired or cut, dresses are sewn from shirts, coats are converted into jackets, and so on.

But turning one old wardrobe item into another new one is also a creative process. A lot of interesting ideas can arise. And these clothes were not necessarily worn. Perhaps the item was purchased and did not fit in size. And something that cannot be worn as is can be remade into something completely different, or modified or decorated.

If not everyone, then many, cut their jeans to shorts. Have you ever made a dress from trousers or jeans? No? Then you can’t even imagine what interesting models you can get.

We sew a dress from trousers

Method number 1: flaps or stripes

It is logical that trouser legs are pieces of fabric from which a dress can be cut in the same way as from a whole piece of material. Only this will not be a one-piece model, because we are limited by the cut of the trousers.

First, we wash the trousers, if necessary, after drying, we cut out the fabric at the seams without any flaws (scuffs, stains, snags, holes).

The dress will have to be assembled from small parts. Choose a pattern with details that will fit on the trouser sections.

Tapered trousers alone are hardly enough for a dress, unless you are making it for a little girl. Therefore, you will have to combine two, or even more. In this case, the fabric should be approximately the same thickness and, naturally, match in color, texture or pattern.

Example of a two-pants dress

We used trousers made of the same plain thick stretch fabric in different colors: black and red. The dress was sewn, so to speak, at random, without a pattern. A different black stretch fabric is used for the sleeves, neckline and hem stitching.

1, 2. Trim the seams around the perimeter of the trouser legs. We get 8 pieces of fabric: 4 black, 4 red.

3, 4, 5. Make the middle of the dress red. We cut a strip for the front and back. If the length of the whole piece is not enough, we make it from parts. You can do embroidery.

6, 7. Cut out the side parts of the front. We attach two side parts to the middle part of the front.

8, 9. Draw an armhole line on one side. Cut it out. Fold the piece in half, trace the armhole on the second piece and cut it out. We correct the side line, cut off the excess.

10. Level the bottom.

11. The front of the dress is ready.

12. Place the middle back piece on the black strip of fabric (overlapping edges), trace along the edge of the middle piece.

13. So we cut out the two side parts of the back.

14. Sew the middle back piece to the sides.

15. Place it on the back in front of the right sides inwards, along the front we draw a line for the bottom and armholes on the back.

16. Fold the back in half, facing inward, draw a side line.

17. The back of the dress is ready.

18, 19. We sew the back with the front, folding the parts face to face, along the side seams. We measure. We identify excesses, remove them, correct them.

20. We cut out the sleeve from unnecessary fabric, baste, measure, and adjust.

21. Tear off, cut according to the markings and get a sleeve pattern. Using these patterns, we cut out the parts from the prepared fabric (4 in total).

22. Sew along one side.

23. Attaching to the armhole.

24. Sew the sleeves. We hem their bottoms.

25. Sew a strip folded in half lengthwise to the neckline. Insert a wide elastic band.

You can also sew a strip of fabric that was used for the sleeves to the bottom of the dress. This is the dress made from trousers.

The stripes make this cute sundress with a drawstring.

The dress can be sewn according to this principle: cut the pattern into strips, as shown in the figure, then cut these parts from the trousers.

You can first stitch the fabric from the stripes, and then cut out the details of the dress.

Method number 2: use the top of the trousers as the original part of the dress

Wide-leg trousers or, especially, large-sized men's trousers provide more options. The part with the belt can be used both on top of the dress and on the bottom. See original ideas.

Method number 3: pants are a dress

From very wide knitted trousers with an elastic band, just the kind in which you can easily fit into the trouser leg, you can sew such a stylish dress.

Everything is done very simply. Place one pant leg on your body and the other on your arm.

Mark the width of the bottom of the sleeve.

Model the line of the sleeve. Sew a stitch from the bottom of the trouser leg to the bottom of the middle seams of the pants.

Trim off excess fabric and trim the edge.

We sew a dress from jeans

The simplest dress can be made if you rip the crotch seam of the jeans and turn them around so that the side seams are in the middle and the crotch seams are on the sides. We draw straight lines at the top as in the figure. We sew the seams. Then we adjust it according to the figure.

You can also sew fabrics from strips cut from several pairs of jeans. Then sew a dress from these fabrics.

A dress or cape made from jeans made using the patchwork method would be interesting.

The combination of jeans with another fabric will look original.

You can make such a sundress from one pair of jeans.

To do this, you need to open the middle and step seams. Draw the lines as in the photo. Trim along these lines. These pieces will be the middle front and back seams. The belt will be at the bottom of the sundress. You can add fabric in the middle.

You can also safely combine different colors of jeans, do not process the armholes and neck of the dress, or make abrasions.

If you have a pair of unnecessary trousers lying around in your wardrobe, don’t rush to throw them away right away. Old pants can always be repurposed into an incredibly fashionable and elegant skirt. To do this, you will need a minimum amount of money, time and creativity.

The first method is classic. Using these instructions, you can sew your own jeans skirt to knee length, slightly lower or slightly higher, a straight skirt, slightly tapered or slightly flared. The length of the skirt depends on your desire. Width - depends on the cut of the jeans and the width of the wedges you will insert into the skirt. Narrow jeans with narrow wedges (or one in the front) will make a pencil skirt, flared jeans with wide wedges will make an A-shaped skirt, or a bell skirt. For a straight or slightly tapered model, you don’t have to insert the wedge at the back: the resulting cut will act as a slot. You can hem the bottom of the skirt or leave it unfinished.

So, you will need:

A pair of jeans;

Tailor's scissors;

Pins;

Steamer;

Sewing machine and thread.

1. Decide on the length of the future skirt, add about 3 cm and cut the jeans legs to the desired length.

2. Open the crotch seams of the trousers.

3. Open the middle seams at the front and back.

4. Place the pant leg pieces one on top of the other, trying to form a flat sheet. Please note: if you do not open the middle seams too high, you will end up with a more flared skirt. If you pick up the seams higher and overlap more, you can create a narrower skirt.

5. Sew the seams front and back.

6. From the cut pieces of the legs, cut out 2 pieces for the wedges. If you want to leave the cut at the back as a slot, you will need 1 piece.

7. Place the wedge fabric from the back to the front of the skirt, as shown in the photo. Pin it with pins.

8. Sew the piece to the front along the remaining stitching lines of the jeans.

9. Repeat for the back of the skirt unless you want to leave a slit. If you are leaving a vent, finish the edges of the slit by stitching along the remaining stitching lines of the jeans.

10. Trim the excess fabric from the inside.

11. Trim the bottom of the skirt.

12. Finish the bottom if desired.

2. Jeans skirt - version with a wedge with a seam: master class

A pair of jeans;

3. Making a denim miniskirt with slits from jeans: master class

This option is suitable for a mini skirt. It is better to make such a skirt from fairly loose jeans with a not too low rise. The bottom of the skirt can be left untreated and even slightly frayed on purpose.

You don't have to be a professional dressmaker to do this. It is enough to use their techniques and in just an hour and a half you can get excellent results.

What will you need for this? Sewing machine, iron with steamer, ruler, chalk, scissors, needle, matching thread and tailor's ripper and pins.

How to taper your pants correctly

To narrow women's trousers like the pros do, you shouldn't make the mistake that almost all beginners make. You will have to remove unnecessary width not only from the side seams, but from the inside seams, while maintaining the symmetry of the existing cut. Otherwise, achieving a perfect fit is simply impossible. And do not neglect intermediate steps - such as basting or steaming, only in this case, the result of the work will please you.

So. Turn the pants inside out and carefully open the hem, then open the side and inseams. If you are tapering your trousers along the entire length, it will not be a bad idea to rip out part of the crotch seam. Then steam the seams properly and let the fabric dry.

Now start marking. Measure along the bottom edge of the trouser leg the width you need, but be sure to maintain symmetry, retreating an equal number of centimeters from the edges. Now draw a thin line with chalk from the markings on the bottom edge to the hip line, repeating the direction of the original seams.

It is necessary to make a basting along the intended line - with small, neat stitches, making sure that the front and back panels do not move. For reliability, they can be fastened with simple tailor's pins.

How to make tapered pants

After you have swept the model, you must try it on. Put on your trousers and carefully examine the result of the work - you can correct it at this stage. Properly tapered trousers should fit like a glove. The easiest way to achieve this is if the fabric contains elastane, it will provide flexibility and good fit. But you need to pay special attention to natural cotton or wool, in which case a good fit will have to be achieved through precisely laid seams.

Professional dressmakers use a simple technique when trying on clothes that allows them to fit the item perfectly to the figure. Put your trousers on inside out and you'll see exactly where you can remove and where you need to add.

If you are satisfied with the result, all that remains is to sew the seams along the basting, get rid of it and carefully finish the edges. Cut off all excess, stepping back one and a half centimeters from the new seams. If you do not rely on the accuracy of your eye, draw an auxiliary line and cut along it. Now the edges must be processed using an overlocker or a zig-zag seam and the seams carefully smoothed out.

Fold the hem under the bottom without changing its width and secure it carefully with a blind or velvet seam. Your new tapered trousers were made like in the best tailor!

How to Taper Dress Pants

To turn any model into stylish “cigarettes” or “pipes” you need to take into account several professional nuances. Wide from the hip and throughout the valley, you can narrow classic trousers as you want using the basic techniques described above. But before you get down to business, keep in mind that such models should be sewn in strictly repeating the silhouette lines.

In the case of complex models and major alterations, be sure to open the crotch seam; it can be easily restored by laying a double stitch along the same lines at the end of the work. This way you can proportionally reduce the volume in the hips and get rid of unattractive creases and folds.

To ensure that the silhouette of the finished model fits your figure exactly, be sure to mark the knee line even at the marking stage. To do this, measure the distance from it to the waist - it is different for each figure - and set it aside from the model’s belt. This mark will allow you to find the correct position of the new seams, now smoothly connect it with the marks on the bottom edge.

This is especially important if you want to tape your pants at the bottom like banana or cigarette styles. Measure the volume of your knee with a measuring tape, divide it in half and add 2-3 centimeters for the freedom of fit. Strictly symmetrically set this length along the knee line and draw a smooth line to the model’s waist.

The width of the model at the hips can be adjusted to your own parameters. But the width of the bottom edge in this case should remain no more than 15-18 centimeters. Set it aside in the same strictly symmetrical manner relative to the side and internal seams and sweep it carefully. It is these proportions that will ensure the desired fit and excellent fit.

Instructions

Open the crotch and center seams and remove any loose threads. Wash and dry the old ones. Iron the resulting workpiece through damp gauze. It is advisable to cut off all frayed seams, otherwise in a new product they run the risk of unraveling after the first wash. You can cut off excess fabric from the crotch seam or, placing one piece on top of another, simply stitch them together. If the width of the skirt is not enough after this, you will need to insert a wedge.

Decide on the length and model of the future skirt. Lay the workpiece on the table. Baste and sew the middle seam. If the skirt is planned to be very short, it will be enough to cut off the trouser legs and process the bottom edge (be sure to leave 2-3 cm for finishing). You can also fluff the denim along the bottom with fringe, sew on a flounce, braid or lace.

If you plan to do skirt long, you will need to insert a wedge. For this purpose, you can cut out pieces from cut-off trouser legs or select another fabric. The wedge is like a triangle. Inserts made of translucent fabric, linen, or velvet look good. Cut out a wedge of the required size. Sweep it in and try on the product. Stitch the seams and finish the edges with a zigzag stitch.

If the skirt turns out to be narrow, be sure to leave slits. Perform them on the side or front of the skirt. Finish the edges of the cuts with lace or trim the wedge from.

Helpful advice

You will need

• - Trousers;

Instructions

Cut off trousers to the length you want to get skirt. Open the inside seams of both legs. The side seams of the trouser legs should not be ripped out, since they will serve as the same seams of the skirt.

Using a sewing machine, sew together the two front parts of the opened legs. Do the same with the two back pieces. Thus, you will get a skirt with four seams: two side, front and back. To hide the front seam, decorate it. These can be buttons, embroidery, braid, lace, etc.

Prepare a piece of fabric that you think will match the color scheme of the yoke. It will later serve as a flounce for the skirt. The width of this piece should be fifteen centimeters wider than the yoke; determine the length of the future shuttlecock yourself. If you want to sew a short skirt, prepare one such piece of fabric. For a long skirt, prepare three future flounces, and the width of the next flounce should be twenty centimeters larger than the previous one.

Finish the top cut edge, which will be sewn to the yoke, with an overlocker or a stitch that replaces it. Then, using a “forward needle” stitch, baste the top of the shuttlecock, gather it into folds, carefully tightening the thread you used to baste. Distribute the folds evenly. Make sure that the resulting circumference of the flounce coincides with the circumference of the yoke.

Turn the yoke and flounce inside out and stitch both parts together using a sewing machine. To ensure that the seam is neat and the parts of the product are sewn together evenly, before stitching them with a machine, baste the shuttlecock to the yoke using a needle and thread. Carefully finish the bottom edge. You have a short skirt ready. If you want to sew a long skirt, perform the same actions with the next two shuttlecocks.

• how to sew a skirt from trousers

I really want to have a couple of original things in my wardrobe. But, unfortunately, there is not always enough money for this. Make fashionable outfits yourself. For example, you can make a beautiful skirt for romantic dates from old, worn jeans.

You will need

• - old blue jeans;
• - from half a meter of panne velvet;
• - threads;
• - scissors;
• - sewing machine;
• - chalk or piece of soap;
• - needles.

In this article, I will tell you how simply and creatively you can decorate a simple denim skirt so that it becomes fashionable and beautiful.

Sew a skirt yourself

By sewing a skirt yourself, you will be completely confident in its uniqueness. You can make it oblique, torn, or come up with your own style. This is easy to do if you have plain denim. Of course, this material is difficult to find on sale, but a denim skirt can be made from old denim material, such as shorts or trousers. They just need to be cut in the right places, fit according to the pattern and sewed together.

Denim skirt with lace

As you know, lace is a romantic element of clothing decoration. Obviously, the use of lace as decorative elements in denim skirts provides a very wide scope for realizing your ideas. By skillfully using the color of lace and additional accessories, you can create both delicate, innocent images and more daring, daring and defiant models. Although you can try to create a non-standard, but still business image.

Old skirt: new life

The biggest problem with old yuks is that they eventually just get boring. Even the most favorite skirts after a while want to be replaced with new ones or at least updated. If you hate throwing away weird skirts, use the following tips for redesigning them.

As you know, a skirt is the only item of clothing on which holes will not look indecent. On the contrary, many skirt owners love to rip their skirts. Surprisingly, skirts with holes always look very stylish.

Decorate a denim skirt with rhinestones

The first option is applications. Today there are a huge number of designs of different structures and colors. Depending on the color of the jeans, you can choose leather or fur appliques, with drawings or simply abstraction. If none of the applications in the store suits you, you can safely draw your own or simply copy it from your favorite magazine or newspaper. In order for the applique to sit firmly on the fabric, you need to stitch it with threads (in the color of the jeans) or glue it securely by ironing it over the surfaces on both sides.

The second option for beautifully decorating a denim skirt is a pattern embroidered with thread. It is, of course, much more complicated than the first one, and is suitable only for those girls and women who love and know how to embroider, because for this it is necessary not only to transfer the design to, but also then carefully embroider it with the threads you like. But for true professionals it will not be difficult - just half an hour of work and the skirt will shine with new colors.

And the last design option for a denim skirt is, of course, beads and rhinestones. A lot of denim items today are decorated in this way, because the idea is fresh and very original. To decorate a skirt with beads, you also need to outline a pattern in advance, which will subsequently be embroidered. As for rhinestones, there are both whole applications and individual “droplets”. It all depends on your preferences and taste.

Butterfly

Butterflies are a stylish element, relevant for girls. From one pair of old jeans you can make a dozen different butterflies that you can sew on your skirt. It will look feminine and romantic, but modest and discreet.
