I bought these pants about 2 months ago and put a hole in the belt loop area a couple days ago. Now I want to turn them into a skirt, I can sew but have never turned pants into a skirt, in the steps how do I do that? I mesured the lenth in which I want but do I cut first then pull the threds out for threds then cut?

It doesn't matter. You know you're going to need some extra material, right?

Yeah, I was hoping to use the pants fabric I cut off but I do have other fabric I can use

There has to be an online tutorial. Google it. That's how I figure out most of my sewing projects.

In that case you'll want to undo the thicker seam and leave the thinner seam alone in the pieces you cut off.

There the same thickiness when it comes to the seams.
