👏👏👏barrel jeans w/the citrus top & shoes look so great on you! Nice upcycle! I am going to make some barrel jeans soon- thanks for the inspiration!👏👏👏 & props for the Donna Summer album too!❤
This vlog has help me save in my school shopping for jeans I got to turn 10 pair of jeans I already had to make new clothes for school. Thanks so much🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Very nice yours Upcycling jeans. I live in France, and it's difficult to wear this kind of creations here because people criticize a lot if we wear clothes originally. I would like to live in a big town to wear all clothes I want. Good job for you 🥰
I'm so glad I found you. I love your camel. I'm working out here on the West Coast. Not sure where you're at but I sure love your videos on binge watching it now. Thank you.
Love these ideas- I tried adding a panel on some jeans but messed it up- I am going to redo them and see if following your directions is easier.. I am sure it will look much better
Adding this video to my files. My body has never been easy to fit, and it’s worse post-menopause. I’m 5’3” with the shortest waist imaginable but long legs for my height (too long for petites to fit!). Add to it that I have no hips but a bigger waist and bleh! If it fits below the waist, the waist is too small. If it fits my waist, it’s huge on my butt and thighs. As I get better at sewing though, I’m feeling more and more empowered! 💪🏻
Hey Angelina! Miss ya watching your tutorials. Been kind of really business. This is a great review video for me to remind us of the options there are to make those jean/pant/trouser fit when our body decides to expand, or the thrift purchase was too good to not grab something that too small. I got a lot of catching up to do because I don't even know if the baby has come yet. Hope your mom and family are doing great
I love these ideas !! Any idea if this would work on some polyester/nylon/spandex blend type dress pants ? I just got some and theyre about 7 inches too small in the hip. Not sure what else to do other than to do triangles with the pocket fabric since I dont have enough for the whole sides of the legs
The snaps are genius! I’m not really a fan of just adding a strip or triangle of quilting type fabric like I see suggested other places. It looks like a home sewing project which is fine but not for me. Your ideas, though, look like they were originally designed like that. They’re so good! Edit: The last ones were amazing too!!!

I love all of these Jean styles. You have a great talent. You make it look so easy. Do you need a special machine or needles to sew these materials together?
I bought a pair of jeans second hand and I checked if the waist fits around my waist and if the length from the waist down to the ankles was long enough. They were too long, but that can be fixed in 5 minutes. But when I got home and tried them on, I found out that the waist was too short vertically and the jeans were too tight in the hips and thighs. So I cut the seam between the legs and set in a long strip of matching fabric. It solved all of the problems. Took half an hour and is my favorite jeans now.
Can you do a video on upsizing a heavy wool coat? I bought one that I adore, it's so sharp and long and makes me feel like im in the matrix but also keeps me warm in canadian winters. Ive gained some weight which means I have to alter some pants, but Ive also gained strength and muscle in my shoulders which has made the coat too small across the back of my shoulders. I dont know how to make it larger while staying warm and looking good! The silky liner would also need to be upsized. The best idea I can think of is adding a triangle in the center of the back, but I dont know where to begin when working with a heavy duty (and I mean heavy, the coat has weight to it) wool, or what materials would still be warm and wind/snow resistant for the added triangle. I guess best case scenario would be finding a similar wool fabric, but im concerned about the seams being super obvious or ugly if i use a thick fabric. Can you do a video about upsizing structured jackets (like suit jackets, which is how the structure of the top portion of the coat is designed) as well as a video about working with heavy fabrics and wool? Or suggest another youtuber, blog, resource, etc. that might be helpful?
The barrel jeans are cute! I am doing this to my too tight jeans. I have another problem, some of my jeans start out snug in the waist but by the end of the day the waist is too big. I hate wearing belts.
I have the opposite problem ! My jeans are all too big as I have lost 6 stone approximately. I cannot afford to keep replacing my clothes whilst I am still losing weight. Any suggestions?
If the jeans are several sizes too big, making them smaller probably won’t work very well. If you some thrift stores near you, check to see if they have anything that will work for you. And work on your sewing skills so you can create clothes that fits your new body shape.
Enjoy the creativity, but when my jeans stop fitting, it means I ate way too much ice cream 🍨 so it means l need to walk and exercise until I fit my jeans! Don’t need all the flab around my middle! ✌🏽💙
love the snap insert black panels, very stylish
Thank you 💕

I love these looks. What kind of machine do you have sewing through all this denim?
I use a lot of different machines but I’ll name a few from cheapest to most expensive. FYI, the Sailrite sews through the most layers.

You’ll need a jean needle and possibly a walking foot for a lot of layers.
The snaps and the godet love

Thank you 💕
Oh yes! I have a thicker waist and smaller hips and thighs. PLEASE make that video!!
Me too!!! 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️ yes please. X
Can you do a video on how to upsize arms on blazer?? ❤❤❤

Perhaps add a new back panel like I did here, but just make your panel wider than the original. ua-cam.com/video/TpJcwVCoTUc/v-deo.html
@@BlueprintDIY that's a great idea, thank you!!!!
The barrel jeans are cute! I am doing this to my too tight jeans.
I have another problem, some of my jeans start out snug in the waist but by the end of the day the waist is too big. I hate wearing belts.
Try this trick

I've put elastic in the back of pants before but the addition of buttons are genius! Thanks.
I m subbed! But I bought the button extenders from Aliexpress to cheat.
Nice!
We used to do #1 in the 90's all the time when pipes were the thing.
NAW… you changing lives with this one 🥹🙏🏾✊🏾
I’m so glad!!
Kak gimana cara tambah panjang jeans yg pendek
Great qq
I’m so glad you liked it! 🙌🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You may also let out your pants by sewing a gusset into just the center seam
I have the opposite problem ! My jeans are all too big as I have lost 6 stone approximately. I cannot afford to keep replacing my clothes whilst I am still losing weight. Any suggestions?
If the jeans are several sizes too big, making them smaller probably won’t work very well. If you some thrift stores near you, check to see if they have anything that will work for you. And work on your sewing skills so you can create clothes that fits your new body shape.

I just lost weight. That worked.
