DIY: Ankle Skinny Jeans

So this is my first actual DIY tutorial post! And even though I have a video up it doesn't explain it as well as pictures and titles do! So here we go: I've been dying for a pair of ankle skinny jeans in a mint color but have yet to find some that are in my price range. So I thought about it and came up with the idea of making some old jeans into ankle skinnys! It was perfect too because these jeans were too big and long for me. So I transformed them, here are the steps.

1. Get a pair of skinny jeans and make sure they fit you semi-loosly and preferably long at the legs.

2. Fold over how much you want to cut away.

3. Take off and lay flat to cut away.

4. Put the jeans on and make sure you're happy with the outcome.

5. Sew a hem at the seam (sew either by hand or sewing machine.)

6. You're ready to style them!

Watch out for my post on FRIDAY!! These ankle skinnys will be in the video post!

Projects :)

  Okay so I've been dying to customize my clothes but need to practice a bit more with my sewing skills. What better way to do this than taking old clothes and making it into something new! Ther first project I did that I forgot to take pictures for was a pair of flare jeans that I turned into perfect skinnies! Except now I have to fix the waist because it's too big! :D Other projects I've done in the past have been skirts. I'll take pictures and add them later.

1.Turn Long pajama pants into shorts!

2.Pajama Pant legs into leg warmers.

 3.Sweater Shirt-Arms into hand warmers

4. Sweater vest- Change buttons and add a cute flower(made it) and also cut that tie in the back.

5.Turtle neck Shirt- Turn to crew neck and add round studs to shoulders(coming soon)

                                                                                                                                                         

So many more projects to come! These are not finished it's only the progress I've done and I wanted to share :) Any questions, tips and/or advice is welcomed. Happy sewing!
