Tutorial: Outgrown pants made into a girls new skirt

Sarah from The Crazy Tailor shares a tutorial at Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop showing how you can make a little girls skirt out of a pair of pants. This is a great way to eke some extra wear out of a pair of pants that have grown too short. As long as the pants fit in the waist, you can use them to make a skirt.
