Fabric From The Attic

I didn’t take any pictures at the very beginning, but if you look carefully you can tell that I am making these jeans out of another pair of jeans. I started out with hand-me-down jeans that were too big for me; I cut my own size out of them.

It was really difficult because I kept the belt loops and waistband attached the ENTIRE TIME! (Belt loops are freaking hard to sew on, so I wanted to avoid re-doing them)

I know, nice dark spot, right?–I took the original back pockets off.

This is me bleaching my pants after they were finished.

Wearing wet pants is rather uncomfortable.

I’m rinsing out the bleach.

End product: Back and Front
