Im sure all of us have a pair or two of old worn and wholy pants, I know a lot of us know how to turn them into shorts, I have figured out a way to turn them into capri's it's really quit easy

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • your old pants
  • sewing machine
  • matching color thread
  • a good pair of sharp scissors.
  1. Step 1

    First you want to take your pants measure the lenght that you want them normally capri's are a little longer than shorts meaning they come to about your knee maybe a little below

  2. Step 2

    Once you have your lenght measure you can begin to cut, once the cutting is done save the left over material from your jeans cause this will be used for the trim.

  3. Step 3

    Using the left over material from your jeans begin to cut a smooth straight piece for each pant leg, once this is done take the trim and pin it to the edge of each pant leg once all the pinning is done you can begin sewing and that's about it aside from removing all the pins your done.
