Bow jeans
DIY
As soon as I saw these jeans on Pinterest, I wanted to try to make them myself. So I bought a cheap jeans to experiment. (15$) I had a choice to to get exactly the same color on the image, but then i thought since I'm making it myself it would be cool if it's different than other's. I got the red acid wash. Then when it comes to making it I didn't have sewing machine and I have never used one either, so I thought I could try and hand sew.
Things you need
1. A chalk, soap or even crayons that are washable to make marks. 2. Long ruler, or tape.
3. Scissor.
4. Sewing machine
5. Needle
6. String
7. Jeans
-Follow the Youtube video, choose a bit loose skinny jeans, or regular jeans is fine, but it needs to be stretchy. Turn the jeans inside out and mesure 5 cm (2-2.5 inches) and mark.
-Also mark up until desired length. Keep in mind that you will hem the border, so about 1 cm (0.5 inches)
-And cut out the marked part.
-Use this piece to measure and cut the other leg.
-To make the bow you can just cut both pieces into 6 same pieces
-And cut out from the square about 2.5 cm (1.5 inches).
-Now we hem the borders of all the pieces in order not to let the fabric fray.
-To make the bow center sew the 2.5 cm (1.5 inches) pieces from inside out about 1.5-2 inches or as you think will fit forming a circle. You can cut the excess fabric or just leave it in.
-Now turn them back out,
-Push in the square pieces into the circles place in the middle.
-All the bows are ready to be sewn back into the pants. You can use sewing macchine in one side and but you will have to hand sew the other.
