i find this way in site i hope that you find it easy and try it good luck
opening the inside leg seams starting at the cuff
view of opened seams - notice that I can use the parallel seam lines as stitching guides
laying flat with seams ripped open - see how the jeans want to form an A-line? these were taken before I ripped the seams up to the zipper in the front and the yoke in the back.
I don't have any pictures for this but what I did next was pin the front halves of the inside seams together to form a front seam. I worked from the bottom up and let the flaps fall flat and overlap. I basted it down and tried it on, found it left a curious bump, took all the stitching out (see? I LOVE basting) and tried again, this time it looked as normal as it was gonna get.
how the skirt lays flat with no back panel - this is the shape I will make the panel - I put brown paper between the layers of the skirt and traced the opening and where the bottom seam should be
the following are views and details of topstitching the overlapping front and back flaps (ignore the thread I hadn't clipped yet). the overlap on the inside of the skirt is whipstitched down over the edge by hand
front:
back:
the catchstich on the inside where the fabric flaps overlap
if I wanted to show off my legs (I don't) I might consider just leaving it open, with the flaps overlapping and tacked down it falls low enough in the back (note the 3" platform shoes)
I liked the way the finished hem looked but had to cut it off because I'm too short - so I left it to fray. I added a center front slit to allow for room when walking.
the finished panel, hemmed to the length of the skirt and left to fray as well
stitch detail of the front slit - note I reenforced the spot where the seam separates
stitch detail of the hem - I made two rows where I want the fraying to stop
detail of one of the back slits
