Yes, you read correctly, you can transform a jeans in just 10 minutes and you do not need anything more than a needle, thread, a meter, pins and scissors.
I had two jeans that had been somewhat short but waist are perfect, and that today is a miracle, I did not want to throw them out so I decided to cut them. I also planned to buy some shorter jeans but without being shorts, so I kill two birds with one stone.
Surely you know how to do it and I do not discover anything new for you, but for those of you with some fear I show you the steps that I followed.
We started to transform a jeans
The first thing is to try on the jeans and measure the length we want. Ask someone for help because when you crouch to look at the measure, we move the hand and the meter. If you do not have anyone look in the mirror.
We cut it to our measure. I have left 4cm more to make the hem.
Now I’m going to do the hem. I’ll do it double and out to make it look. Of 2cm each fold.
I hold it with pins so that it does not move and is even. Now we give another turn over the same width.
Finally, we sew it. I only sew what I sewn by the seams on the sides so it does not look and is more polished. Iron so that the form stays better and do not turn around and ready.
Do you have any other way to transform the length of a jeans? And if not what you want is a challenge I leave the pattern to some shorts that will be like these jeans. Only you have to do them from scratch. It is an easy project with step-by-step instructions with images.
