What I love most about this is how each person can make the design uniquely their own. 🥰
You got me too thinking of a boho bib skirt with lots of pockets for the garden time.
That would be amazing!
This was my childhood, we call it the Bay City Rollers era. Such great memories. Love the channel.
I like your elastic idea on the sides. But, a pleat will work also. Yes, they are cute.
Thank you! 😊
Oh my goodness... so cute. Just like TMyers.
I have a pair of jeans that don't fit anymore, this would be cute. While I have the pants open, I am going to put in deeper pockets. I noticed that my husband's jeans have much deeper pockets, since I am making the legs wider there should be space.
That would be awesome. I'm going to do some for myself as well. I think some capris with ragged edges would be so fun.
Yes - definitely deeper pockets!! Deep enough to fit my phone!
Very colorful. I like the patches!
Thank you!
Nice colors and nice pants. This immediately makes jeans much more exciting.
I saw you struggling with that increasingly smaller space. Sometimes when I'm halfway through I just start at the bottom of the leg and work my way toward the middle so the seams meet there.
Well, knowing me, if I tried that I'd have extra fabric upon meeting up...lol. Perhaps better pinning and using the walking foot might work.
Walking foot is big. Don't know if that will work.
I love watching your videos. Very inspirational
These are so cute. Thinking of widening the angle towards the bottom and cutting to gaucho length.
That would be awesome!
Wow! Another great upcycle.
Thank you!
The struggle is real. FR! 😂
Well done as usual. Thanks for showing the whole process!
Thank you!
I 💕 the color choices that you made for the sides and patches. I may give this a shot soon .😁😁
I love this idea!
DIVINO ME ENCANTO ESTE TRABAJO❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍
You have such a great design eye! So precious!
Thank you! 😊
Sherry, those are just so stinking cute!!!❤ I have actually lost about 20 pounds in my old age. I would love to try this technique on some of my old jeans but size them down. cute,cute,cute. 😍😍😍
Donna, that is a great idea. You could use some of your amazing textiles to create designs even. Congrats on the weight loss. I need to do the same but somehow I always end up exactly where I started...ha ha
Wow love this idea
Was nice to see the struggle as often people don’t show this part
Going to try this with a pair of jeans that don’t fit
Thank you for sharing 😁
Awesome! I'm so glad you are going to try it!
Wow! I watched you sew the 2nd side closed in awe. How on earth did you go all the way down like that? I kept thinking surely you'll have to stop and come at it from the bottom now! But you did it all in one go. That did look challenging. Now I know why Traci (tmyers handmade) puts her edges wrong sides together and just leaves seams on the outside. I like the look you were going for better, but it sure looked harder! Great job, I'm so impressed.
Thank you! I wasn't sure I could pull it off either but it was the look I wanted and I got it! I was so happy!
I just had a crazy idea on how to make sewing up the legs easier. Let me see if I can explain it. Do you think it would work to attach half the patchwork to each side and then turn the pants inside out and just sew it like normal pants? It's patchwork so another seam wouldn't matter.
Do you mean cut the patchwork in half lengthwise, then after attaching both to the jeans you just sew the two patchwork pieces together? That does sound like a good idea!
That would work but you'd have a consistent seam all the way down the middle which wasn't the look I was after. I thought about doing the patchwork as I went but wasn't sure I'd be able to make it at the perfect angle I needed for the look I was after.
Clever thinking!
Could you turn them inside out, put wrong sides together and sew it that way? I think I have done that before. These turned out super cute!
One could do that. It would be a different look but still really cute.
These are so stinking cute!!!❤♡♡♡♡
Love the elastic idea!!!!
Me too cause I am all about comfort...and if a person had non stretchy jeans it would add alot more comfort I think.
Just an idea Sherri when you sewed the side seams back up maybe turn wrong side out and sew together that way. Appreciate you. ☺️
Sorry misspelled your name.
Absolutely doing this for myself. That 2nd side seam is going to be the end of me. 🤦🏻♀️
Well , two other ways to do the side seams which I think would be fine is to face right sides together and sew them down creating a no raw edge look and you'd never have to go inside like I did or you could face raw sided together and have to seams facing out and fraying all the way down. Both these methods would be cute and would make it where you don't have to do that last seam.
I have a pair of too tight 80's jeans 👖 that I'm working on adding extra fabric raw sides together with the frey edges.
I love your ideas! I have found when sewing the last side of the leg, it is easier if the pant leg is turned outside in and the sewing is done from that angle as compared to doing it from the outside. I hope that makes sense.
That is awesome! Also, the narrower the leg, the harder it is going to be to do. I had quite a wide leg so it wasn't too hard.
Great job!
Super cute❤
Love them!
Hi Sherry. I love your boho jeans. Idea for your side seam. You could make a big raw edge seam and clip for fringes
That would be cute! Great idea!
They look nice on a hanger. Although it would be nice to see how they look on a person. I like them though.
👍
Sherry, you have mentioned gore the comments can become a library of ideas. Well,
I got a half dozen pairs of old denims at a garage sale. They're the old heavy, stiff, no stretch denim. I can wear 2 of the pairs. Looking for suggestions on what to do with the others. The heavier fabric doesn't work too well in clothing that's supposed to be soft and drapey. Ideas anyone? Please tag me if you reply so UA-cam tells me. Thanks!
I'd check out pintrest. They have lots of jean ideas.
Funny how spandex is hard to work with. The animals are cute peeking out!
This is where I'm going to try out my free motion sewing machine foot. I'm hoping i can sew in a circle without having to move the jeans around in a circle for the patches.
If you didn't have to use jeans from the tote, I'd suggest men's jeans as they're more often all cotton.
I think that the free motion foot would be an awesome look. I also think padded patches so you have a kind of puffy look would add a dimensional effect too. I'm going to try making more of these myself. The one I made is already sold so I'm very pleased.
Great! I do think that'd be a popular item.
Good morning. why not have assembled right side by side that would avoid infernal contortions and it would be more solid, right? it wouldn't be any less boho
It certainly could be done that way but I wanted to see the raw denim edge on both sides.
Dear Sherry, I have a question that I often have with things like this. I hope I can explain myself properly. OK when you went to put in your previously sewn patchwork strip; you cut through it, and therefore cut through your stitching. doesn’t that make those stitches vulnerable to coming apart? I never understand how people cut through previously sewn items, because isn’t it just going to unravel? Thank you so much for your help. 🙋🏻♀️
Sure, I can answer your question and thank you for asking so nicely. I always sew with either a zigzag or a small straight stitch. This will stop things from coming undone. Then, when I cut through seams I do not pull on the fabric as I put it in place. Stitching back over a seam locks it all in place so nothing can come undone. Hope that helps.
@@SherryJonesDesigns thank you so much! I always wondered!

You are likely right. I will check it out. Thank you!
