Jeans Refashion

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.

  3. Watch 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 ;)

  4. Whoa! 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!

    These look AMAZING!

  5. Good idea! I have tons of bootlegs I never wear either but hate to chop them all into shorts :)
