      @@haoshan24 thank you for replying! I ended up sewing from the bottom of the skirt up. Which sort of worked.. I’m not sure if it was because I was using a very thick denim, but I couldn’t get the fabric under the machine :/ and I accidentally went through both sides at one point..no matter how I was positioning it just wasn’t working for me. This was my very first time sewing so I’m sure I’ll get it eventually.

    I have a very helpful tip for your next deconstruction project! Look up how to remove a chainstitch seam.. you don’t have to unpick the entire inseam, it will unravel if you pull from the correct side! Saves so much time 😊

      sewing by hand is also possible! it just takes longer, but it adds a nice handmade feel to it and can make a garment even more special! in the end it's all about stitching fabric together, so by hand should be possible as well :)

      Could you use a twill fabric seam binding ribbon which would enclose a cord secured at the bottom that you would pull at the top? You'd have to secure the top of the cord somehow, maybe with a cute button.

      thank you! if you don't have any fabric left to close the front gap, you can also leave it open! it's a personal preference ofc, but i think it would look nice as well :) and if you do want to close it, then i'd suggest to try finding a similar fabric somewhere else (maybe thriftshop/market or another old piece in your own wardrobe) to use it for the gap

      hey, if the waistband of the pants is double sided, you could cut a hole on the inner layer and insert an elastic waistband to make the waist fitted. then if you follow the tutorial and make the width a bit smaller it could potentially work out i think :)
