What to do with a pair of jeans that has a hole?

A while ago my oldest girl made some big holes in the knees of her pants but since it was just changing into summer I decided to just cut them off to cute board shorts but then I was left with 2 of these

I hung on to them, and thank goodness I did because my 15 month old was in dire need of a cute simple jean skirt.

To start out you have to un-pick one of the edges. I chose the outside edge since it was not double stitched and would look great as the side of the skirt. so it should look like this..
Do you see where I un-stitched it? Great!! Here is where I totally forgot to take pictures but dont worry it is super simple YAY!!
Now you lay your two pieces right sides together and stitch the edges then you finish the bottom hem where you had to un-stich it. Next you have 2 options you can either do as I did and just take some elastic the size you need and sew it on to the top of the skirt with the longest stitch you have on your machine or you can find some coordinating fabric and add it on top them put elastic through... I hope you understand what I mean by that.
It only took about 20 mins to make and the longest part was un-stiching the seam.

Here is what the finished Product looks like. I absolutely love how it turned out and the best part is it will grow with her since it is a little longer. I'm one happy Momma.
