The second life of tight jeans

Small sized jeans should not be immediately carried in the trash can. In addition to the fact that you can sew a lot of useful things from denim, if the size has become not much smaller, you can try to embroidery them. Today we will tell you how to expand your favorite jeans at home.



To sew jeans that are cramped at the waist, you will need to sew wedges into them. They will almost imperceptibly expand jeans in the waist area and hips. If you don't have a sewing machine, you can do with a thread with a needle. Then you will have to very carefully lay stitches or sew with a secret seam.

  2. Now, with the booster, cut the side seams 19 cm from the belt, and cut the belt in these places.



  3. On the denim fabric make a small pattern: draw two triangles. The width of each triangle is half of the missing belt length. For example: width 3 cm, length of the triangle 19 cm.



  4. Leave allowances for stitching on the sides of about 1 cm and cut out the triangles.
  5. Drag the triangles into the incisions on the sides with a winding seam.
