If it hasn't already occured to you to ask, check whether these jeans fit her as jeans. He may not realize that you are only changing the legs into a skirt, not cutting down or enlarging the waist and hips.
I knew that I shouldnt have let myself in for this!!!
I did this for my daughter with too tight jeans and added inserts down the side. My husband patiently took out all the stitching so that I had seam allowances which helped reduce the fray factor. Here are some pictures![]()
