I've been down with the flu for over a week now and was beginning to get a little stir crazy. I decided a little altering might make me feel better so this is what I did with my Saturday afternoon.
 |
| 1) I took an old pair of jeans and replaced the pockets with some from another old pair. I never liked the way the pockets on this pair looked...too small. |
 |
| 2) I then made slits from the ankle to the knee on both sides of the pant leg. For my leg this was about 15 inches. |
 |
| 3) From another old pair of jeans I took rectangular pieces 15 inches in height with a base of approximately 6 inches. I pinned right sides together and stitched in place. |
 |
| 4) After stitching triangles into place, I turned right side out and pressed with my iron. Impressive flare! |
|
| My husband said I need to iron these a little better to get the right look but I'd say my first stab at bell bottoms was a success! |
 |
| Groovy Baby! |
