Jeans should look like this when seams are open at both sides:
Next, on front side, overlap denim below zipper, pin:
Do the same to the backside, below the yoke:
Do not sew yet.
Try on the garment so that you can mark the desired length of the skirt. I like to use soap to mark with.
Cut along marked line for desired length.
Sew where pinned.
Once sewn, should look like this:
Pin piece of cut off pant leg to opening:
Sew where pinned.
Hem.
