Two Tone Dude Duds: A DIY Jeans Refashion

What do you do when your guy complains that a couple of jeans in his (ever-growing) denim collection are too big AND too short?

Re-make them into an awesome new pair that fit just right!

Here’s what I did…

Grabbed the offenders

chopped off the legs of the too short pair in the middle of the thigh area

used a chopped leg as a template & sliced off the legs of the too big pair making sure to cut them to the correct length + seam allowance

popped the new, perfect length legs into the proper fitting cutoffs with right sides facing & raw edges lined up and stitched together

then zigzagged over the outside seams for extra strength

and his groovy new jeans were complete!
