This weekend was a busy one for us. My most productive day was Saturday because Corey spent it out on the boat with his mates and I managed to get a bit of sewing and knitting done as well as a little bit of housework. The first thing I did was a quick refashion I have been wanting to do for a while.
I bought these jeans on sale from Sportsgirl a couple of years ago and loved them but I don't tend to wear bootleg jeans anymore. I have been wanting to make them into skinnys for ages but haven't gotten around to it. Finally on Saturday I spent about an hour pinning, sewing, repinning and resewing to turn them into these....
I am pretty happy with how they turned out. Even Corey was impressed! He thought I had bought new jeans so when I told him they were old ones I refashioned he was pretty shocked. I think he was happier I hadn't spent any money then in my sewing skills. Now I am going to be on the lookout for more pants to refashion when I go op shopping next.
Clever duck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could sew! These look great
ReplyDeletethey look brilliant, well done :)
ReplyDeleteWatch out or I might have to bundle you into the back of the van next time I see you and whip you back to my house so you can get started on fixing up my wardrobe too ;)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! You have to do a tutorial on this! I have the same problem - I own bootlegs (from Sportgirl too!) but I want straight leg and I can't find any I like. If I could transform the ones I have I'd be super stoked!
ReplyDeleteThese look AMAZING!
Good idea! I have tons of bootlegs I never wear either but hate to chop them all into shorts :)
ReplyDeleteThey look really really cool!
