I have been having a blast making these cute little skirts. First cut off the pants just above the knee.
Second, cut the inseam all the way, and next you will make about a 2: cut up the back and front of the pants, cut as close to the seam as possible.
Where you made the cut in the croch you will over lap them and pin. Yes it looks a little wierd, but that is when the appliqueing comes in. take a small piece of the pant leg that you have left and pin it in the open space, back and front, then sew then into place. I am sorry I forgot to take a picture of that part. 
when everything is stitched you can cut the bottom of the skirt to make it evevn and the right length.
You can hem it, you can add a ruffle. or my favorite.... APPLIQUE. I will have a tutorial up for that by wednesday. If you make one let me know so I can feature a picture of it here on my blog.
