Its a happy day when you fit into jeans that youve been waiting for YEARS to fit again.
But its a sad day when you realize they are grossly out of style . . . and maybe *ahem* they were even out of style the last time you wore them.
 |
| Start with your wretched flares . . . |
 |
| Try them on inside-out. |
 |
| Pin (on the outside) one leg to a comfortable fit, be sure to leave at least an inch away from your legs--it will be smaller when you sew it. (You can go as loose or tight as you want--I dont like my jeans skin tight on my calves. These are actually more "boot cut" than skinny jeans. |
 |
| Remove jeans and mark pins with a highlighter |
 |
| Remove pins, and use a ruler to connect your pin dashes--make the line as straight as you can [Only YOU can prevent forest fires] |
 |
| Sew over the line, be sure to backstitch several times at both ends. |
 |
| And sew a second seam alongside the first . . . |
 |
| Heres how it looks before cutting . . . |
 |
| Cut away the flare, not too close to the seam |
 |
| Fold your sewn and cut leg over the "un-sewn" one. I used my iron on this step to make sure the legs were completely the same. |
 |
| Cut the"un-sewn" pant leg. Then sew a double seam up the side. |
 |
| Try those puppies on! |
 |
| Totally got these cuties at Deseret Industries |
 |
| I dont care if light-colored jeans are out. I love em. |
