Help me hack my wardrobe

How do I convert a skirt into shorts?
I have a fairly simple straight skirt that is too big for me, which I think would make some pretty cool shorts. Is there a way to do this easily, or should I just rip the seams open, pretend it's regular fabric, and use a standard shorts pattern?

Alternatively if the skirt is longer than you want your shorts to be, you could treat it as regular fabric and offset the pieces along the length of the skirt. This might be a solution if you find the skirt isn't wide enough for the fabric to go between your legs.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably have to rip it apart and go from there. Cheers!
