I hate when people tell you that a professional photographer is needed.That's kind of the point of the web, we are just people, like everybody else, all with different careers. The pics were well lighted and made it easy to see everything you were talking about. Frankly, I looked up how to do this several times, and now just stumbled on this and wha-la! Understanding about that funky top part at the end of the upward cut. Thank you! Please, everybody don't hold back because you think your pics are not good enough, we just want to see the stuff, not judge your photography. Cheap Ebay pictures?

I didn't want to throw away my elastic waist maternity jeans (those with elastic triangles on the sides and no zip) so I found your skirt and did it. I left a nice wide slit on the front starting just below the knees. The back panel came from another not fitting grey cargo pant, I'm also going to add the cargo's pockets!

It's one (or more) continuous thread(s) from one ankle to the other. Rip out a little at one ankle and then try pulling. It should just pull and unravel out. If it doesn't unravel, try the other side. It's much easier then ripping stitch by stitch. If you want, you can roll this thread on a bobbin to use for your top stitching. I've made bunches of these skirts. Some with the curve, some straight down (just tuck in the extra until the seam will go straight down and top stitch that way.) Also sometimes I cut off at knee and use the lower section of leg as the inset. Perfect match.
