I loved the color of this skirt--it is a perfect match for my eyes. It started out as a pair of pants that fit okay, but not great. I was so sold on the color that I bought them anyway with the intention of trying to turn them into a skirt and it worked! I opened up the inseam (inside seam) to just below the zipper in front and just to the roundest point on the booty in the back. I then folded back the seams to form an open triangle. I inserted fabric from the cut-off lower part of the pants underneath and pinned it in place. I sewed a narrow seam on the top edge so it captured the inset panel on the underside.
