By far the easiest one to follow…quick and sweet….thanks
Love it….now off to my short drawers….🥰🥰🥰
I know this is an older tutorial, but your tutorial is the best that I’ve seen. Most tutorials only seam rip the crotch and sew, and the dress looks a little wonky. Your tutorial shows how to seam rip to make it look like the item was a skirt. I’m giving this a try with a pair of shorts and a pair of pants that I have that I want to “thrift flip”.
That is cool I have a pair of shorts I will do that too! You inspire me!
Glad I found your video b4 I started my mini skirt project. Your video is much more simple. Thanks
What a cool makeover. I love to wear skirts and dresses in the summer.
I do the same thing with sweatpants after I cut off some of the leg material. I wear it with boots and a matching sweatshirt. I also had to do the same thing with several pairs of wool slacks after the moths ate big holes in the lower legs.
I bought a pair of men's Tommy Bahama swim trunks on sale, and wanted to make them into a skirt. I watched several how to videos, and yours was the best, by far. I did exactly as you instructed, and now have an adorable skirt in an octopus print, with utility pockets and panties inside. My husband thinks I am very clever!
YIPPIE !!! I'm so glad you did this project and love it. You just made my day :) Thanks for letting me know :) I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend !! Big HUGS :)
@ann-yes that is very smart thing you did.
wow, this is very cool, I'll watch for some shorts at salvation army and do this for my daughter. Thanks.
Thank you for keeping it simply, and explaining. My daughters think bc I have a sewing machine that I know how to use it. Lol! I know a little but they keep giving me projects and your video helped me a lot!
Great job Amy!!! I love watching your videos, so keep them coming.
Never thought of doing that it looks great :)
Really liked the video--you make the refashions so understandable. The skirt is really cute.
I got the cutest seersucker shorts today at Goodwill but they are too big so I wanted to refashion into a skirt. This video is so great. Thanks for sharing. It's so wonderful that you are so generous! You are totally beautiful and I love watching your gorgeous hands at work. Get up dress up show up never give up!
Katie Thomas Thank you Katie !!! You are such a sweetie and you brought the biggest smile to my face !! I'm so happy you are liked this video and found it helpful. Thanks again for watching and I hope you had a BEAUTIFUL day! HUGS :)
Awww now I'm going to tear up!!! Mutual admiration society!!!!
The shorts need to be big or bigger than your size to make them into a skirt since a smaller size may make the skirt too tight.
That is too funny I have those same exact shorts. I hated the lining so they sit in the closet. Now I can repurpose them. Thank you!
I really love your videos. You make everything you do so simple for those with no sewing experience. I love the creative ideas you have for refashioned clothing. I have started following your footsteps in doing the same. Now my family and friends are keeping me very busy in redesigning clothing for them. Please keep the creative ideas flowiing. I love your work.
Thank you for your video Ms. Amy. I am a "beginner" beginner sewer and I'm going to try turning shorts into skirts now.
what is a skort?
Love. I have a pair of Columbia shorts I'm wanting to do. I'll try your technique. But Columbia shorts have a different back, Rounded. I'll see how your technique works with them. But love, love, love!!
You did a great job on the skirt. Btw, love your thrifted jacket. It looks great on you.
This is the best conversion of shorts to skirt I have seen. I appreciate how you have your back seam curve out to take into consideration of the behind. Thank you for the video.
jynclr Thank you and I'm so happy you liked this project !! I hope you are having a FABULOUS day and thank you for watching !! HUGS :)

love what u are doing... these are things i would... love it ... i am a beginner in the sewing field.. but i love your style for changing things into something lovely to wear
Thanks Maggie !! I"m so happy you are enjoying my refashion projects. I will be doing a lot more of them as soon as our new home construction is finished this summer. Thanks again and I hope you are having a FABULOUS day! HUGS :)
congrats!!!! on the new home..... and i will be looking for your work...I LOVE IT!!!.... THIS IS SOMETHING I AM TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH... MONEY IS TIGHT💵
Skirts are too expensive to buy.
Thank you so much for your lesson- you are sweet! I love getting resale stuff and converting it to what I need!
Yes great idea-redo, reuse, & recycle clothing til they're practically unwearable.
Thanks Janice!!! I will keep the videos coming :) I enjoy doing them. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you had a GREAT day! HUGS :)
The best!!! And it looks great on you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Give it a try...it was really easy. Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you have a GREAT day! HUGS :)
Thank you!!! You just brought the biggest smile to my face. Thats my goal when doing these videos is to inspire people to be creative, take a chance and start refashioning old things. Its an inexpensive way to learn to sew, improve your sewing skills, and get new things to add to your wardrobe. YEAH...so excited that you're refashioning. Would love to see pictures...you can tag pictures to my FB page if you want. Take care and I hope you had a GREAT day! HUGS :)
Thank you, you have no idea how this is gonna help me.
Thanks Lina! I make mistakes as I go as well, but they are great learning experiences and it teaches you to be a better sewer. Best part is that when you shop at the goodwill, if you make a mistake....you're not out a lot of money :) Big HUGS :)
can find some good stuff at those stores for low cost.
Very cute and classy! Love it!
Best video I have seen so far . Thank you !
Thanks Shirley!! Let me know how your transformation goes!! You can send pictures of your project to my FB page if you'd like. I would love to see it :) Take care and I hope you're having a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
hi, I love your work...what a great way to get more out of fashion...I just started sewing and I am inspired to do some of the things you do...making a lot of mistakes, it's not as easy as it looks...keep the great ideas coming...be well...
as long as those mistakes can be repaired & not permanent.
Thank you!! I agree, I just don't like the look of the crooked front and back seam. I try and make my refashion not look like a DIY project. Thanks for the comment and for watching....I hope you have a fun and safe 4th of July. HUGS
who cares about what the seam looks like-if its crooked, nobody will even notice it at all.
Thanks Tina! They were so easy. I have a stack of golf shorts from when I use to golf everyday....they are getting made into skirts next week. I love to wear skirts much more than shorts :) Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
you make it look so easy - unfortunately it isn't going quite as easy for me. Thanks for the inspiration.
+Clint Lucci Thank you :) I hope you have a WONDERFUL day! HUGS: )
Cute skirt!
Thanks sweetie!! It was really easy, even though I had to adjust my basting lines 3 times before getting it to follow the curve of my rear end smoothly. Glad you liked it and send me pictures if you try this project ....would love to see it! Thanks again and I hope you're having a GREAT day! HUGS :)
Great video and it was super easy
Wow te quedo muy linda la falda ,me haré una !
I love your vocabulary! LUNKY lol
Thank you :) It actually was really easy to do. Glad you liked it and thanks for watching. I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
love it..beautiful
I love it. Thank you!
Love this!
That is funny!! What were they thinking when they made those shorts with a lining? I'm much happier with it now being a skirt instead. Hope you do this project to your lined shorts as well. Take care, thanks for watching and I hope you're having a WONDERFUL day! HUGS :)
Love it!!!
GOOD JOB!
Thank you !! HUGS :)
Thank you!! Me too (I'd rather wear a skirt or sundress than shorts !) Glad you liked it and thanks for watching. I hope you're having a GREAT day! HUGS :)
So you basically use your same size and convert to a skirt? What if you are hippy? Will it still work?
@katrina-yes, same size or just one size larger-the larger it is, the more work to do to make it fit properly at the waist.
Thank you! I'm happy you liked this project :) Take care and I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend! HUGS :)
Thanks Lucinda!! I'm so happy you liked it!! Are you doing any sewing projects? If so, would love to hear about them on my facebook page :) I hope you have a GREAT weekend...and Big Hugs from me :)
Perfect
i love your skirt
+Penny Snyder Thank you Penny! I love it much more as a skirt than I did as shorts. Thank you for watching and I hope you are having a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
Shorts are for men-skirts are for women.
Love this. May I ask if I could use iron on padding, only because I have a surplus of it. Thank you again xx
Great conversion. You do such a great job!!! I do have one question. Can you use your frixion pen/chalk instead of pins to mark the material that was for your legs? You are a beautiful woman and your hands are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much!!
Needs to be pinned down before cutting to keep material in place when cutting.
Hey Amy, have you done a video where you make a denim jacket smaller? Somebody gave me a size 28 and I wear a 16. The rolled up sleeves are fine but I can’t make the body part work. And it is adorable just like I wanted. Thanks
How come you don’t say right side out. ??
"Straight down" as in parallel to the zipper, or as in perpendicular to the hem and waistband??... My zipper is at an angle.
nice refashion! would a long skirt from jeans be the same? have you done a long skirt video?
a long skirt from pants probably can be done.
Thanks Lisa!! I forgot to mention that jacket in the video...It was from my last haul. I love it!!! Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you had a GREAT day! HUGS:)
good thing we can watch these info videos on the internet.
