What I did
I found a pair of Jeans and, although you can't see, marked off right below the knee where I wanted to cut. You should leave about two inches of mistake space. Remember, you can always take off but you can never put on!
Then, obviously, I cut the pants. With the help of some small hands of course!
I knew my nail file would come in handy! I used it to file a hole into my jeans
BAM!
I now have a hole up under the right pocket and on the knee on the left side
Looks alright so far!
Cut a piece of lace just a tad bigger than the hole and turn the pants inside out...
Here come's the "fun" part that took 3 hours because I cannot sew for the life of me!!
There's what it looks like on the inside!
And on the outside. not too bad!
I couldn't find a ruler so I used a book to made a triangle along the side of my pants.
Ta-Dah!
Here's another view of it. That's a hammer on the left. It's there for no reason whatsoever. I promise.
Gotta file the edges after you cut 'em so they look good!
I used a paper clip to hold the rolled fabric at the bottom in place.
Time to sow on the big piece of lace!!
Thank God you can't see the thread! I swear!!
The hardest part was trying not to make the triangle too big. I used the piece of cut denim to use as a reference.
A few hours later annnnnnnnnd.....
I'm not sure yet if I'd wear them in public but I think it's a pretty nice attempt on my part!
I've been transforming a lot of jeans lately. This is definitely a pair that I'd wear in public. And just in time for the 4th of July weekend!!
I soooo.....
NAILED IT!
