Embellish a pair of cutoff jeans in 5 minutes - Mini Tutorial
Well, this isn't really a tutorial. I bet you'll take a peek and think do I really need a tutorial to do this. So, I'm going to make this short and sweet. As I've mentioned before Isabella just recently outgrew nearly all of her pants and I've been trying to come up with different refashions (I've also used some of my son's old pants for her). Before I get started here are a few pictures of Isabella in the finished product.
Here's all you need: a pair of jeans and eyelet trim
Take a pair of jeans and cut the legs off. I like Isabella's shorts to fall at least at mid thigh level.
Now for the eyelet trim. To be honest I didn't bother pinning the trim to the pants. I just stitched it right on and made sure I was sewing on both the pants and the trim.
That's it! I know, I know it's not really a tutorial.

- Hello, I’m Rachel. I started sewing 9 months ago and fell in love with putting together unique clothes for my children to wear. Although I’ve focused mainly on clothes I’m trying to branch out into other crafts. This blog gives a peek into my current projects.

That is just so cute!! It's a great way to make sure jeans go that bit further wear-wise. Hmmmm - do you think a 43-year old mom like me would get away wearing something like this?!! I am sure I have an old pair of jeans lying around somewhere.
Great idea!
If you explain how you did it, it's a tutorial! ;)
Very cute and perfect for summer!
I think that's a great idea! Bye Bye highwaters, hello cute shorts!
