Start by ripping out the inner leg seams and the centerfront and centerback seams to just above the crotch curve.
If the pants have a front or back zipper, release the front and back seams to just below the zipper.
Press the seam allowances open.
Layer the legs working on a flat surface, lay the crotch extension of one front leg over the other and pin in place.
Repeat on the back.
Try on your new skirt to be sure it fits comfortably around the hips, and that the overlap lies smooth.
The cutoff leg fabric may give you enough material to fill in the void.
Or, you can use a second pair of old jeans if you have them lying around.
Sew it all in place on the skirt front, turn under the crotch curve overlap section so it blends with the centerfront seam.
Or leave the overlap as is if you want a raw, deconstructed look.
Fold under the leg inseam allowances as well.
If the skirt is full enough at the bottom to let you walk comfortably, complete the back in the same way.
If your skirt is very narrow, add a slit or vent to the piece of fill fabric.
Finally, hem your new skirt.
Decide on the desired finished length of the skirt, and mark with pins or chalk.
Take the skirt off, add a hem allowance and cut off the excess fabric.
