O Great LiveJournal Brain!

I am looking for something productive to do with a pile (probably about 10 pairs) of jeans that are too trashed to donate to the Goodwill.  They have holes either in the back pockets or in the knees (or both).  I'd like to turn them into something useful, or pass them off to someone who can/will (in which instance I will probably try to do so locally).  (I'm already planning to save one or two to make dresses for TRex.)

Can't you cut them right above the knee, open the inner leg seams, and make a skirt? I think the ones I've seen - in stores, with that fake-homemade look, overlap the inner top-thigh sections and add an extra triangle between the lower-thigh sections...

I could... they're M's jeans but might fit me. I'm not sure that I would actually wear such a skirt, is the thing.
