You will need:

First of all, you need to cut the legs of the jeans. Do this without ripping or tearing the fabric! You need to lay the jeans out flat on a table and cut about 12 inches off the legs. For the moment, leave it like this, because if you want, you can make it shorter later.
Now you will need a seam ripper in order to make your job easier. If you don’t have one, get one. A seam ripper it’s very cheap and can rock your DIY world. You’ll have to turn the pants inside out and with the help of the seam ripper, start ripping the seams at the crotch and go all the way down both of the inseams. Don’t forget to do this for the outer part, too.
The next step will be to rip the front seam up to where the zipper begins and rip the back seam up to where your belt loops begin. Then carefully pin the front pieces together and then turn your skirt inside out and pin the back pieces together. The most important party of the pinning is teh very top where the seams meets the belt look, so take your time to do this right.
Great! You’re ready to sew the back and the front.
You’re done! You just made yourself a new denim skirt.
