4. Cut the Leg Up
the fabric from the legs will get attached to
the bottom edge of the skirt. Do some math-how long do you want the skirt?
How long should you cut the pieces of fabric? What do want the bottom edge
to look like? I used part of the inseam's seam as my bottom edge and measured
from that.
5. Pin It
to get a nice flat seam I shingled the leg fabric on top of the skirt.
Pin the fabric in place. Try it on-like the length? Want to add a slit? Play
around pinning and re pinning until you get it just right and you're sure
you have enough leg fabric to go around.
Beginners Skip to step 6
Instead of using one or 2 long pieces of leg fabric I cut them into like 5
pieces, so I could get an A-line shape the pieces had tapered sides (like
the bottom of a pyramid) I pinned and measured to be sure I had it right before
I sewed the blocks together to form one strip which I them pinned in place.
6. Sew
sew the leg strips to the top, I used 2 straight
stitch seams to match the look of the stitching on the skirt.
7. Finishing
I wanted a semi frayed edge-it would require
the least amount of work.to give the skirt top some fraying I used a seam
ripper to rip some edges of the pockets, zipper, belt loops. I also removed
the not so chic "LA BLUES" tag. I then machine washed the skirt
and then trimmed the fraying before I dried it flat.
