1., Choose some jeans ;) • Choose a pair of jeans, turn them inside out, put them on (zip up, button it too) and pin as desired. • I dont want to make a sooo very skinny ones, just sometnin between skinny and tube – leg fitted.
2., Mark hem line • Mark where pinned. • I will won’t touch the lenght, so I open up the bottom part too. • I used to mark where to sew with a tiny piece of dired soap – too small to use, but handy now!
3., Mark both sides • I really don’t like to use a ruler or measuring tape sometimes, so I layed both legs on each other, folded the bottom one by the pins, and marked the other leg.
6., Second stitch • Mark a straight line paralell to the already made stitch, leave approx 3-5 mm between them, sew it, but still don’t cut the leftover!
7., Zig-zag ;) • Wheremyhand is – that’stheinnerstitch, thefirstoneI’ve made. • Whensecondone is ready, place a zig-zagstitch – closertothatonewhatwill be cut. • Seewhat I havemarked, ornextslideforto be understood.
10., How it looks when ready • ;) • I hopeIcouldhelpYou! • I havebeensearchingfortutorials, foundlots, butdidnotlikedthem, soIdecidedtomakeone. • I used 2 paralellstitches and a zig-zagstitchetoavoidravel.
