Retailor Your Jeans

So yesterday I posted 'This Day's Threads' which featured a pair of jeans that I retailored to fit my frame and change the shape they originally were sewn into.

Today I'm going to show you how I did that. Not too hard actually. I do it the 'cheating' way. If you want your seams to be 'flat felled' that will have to wait for another tutorial. I figured I'd show you the 'easy' way first. Then maybe later we can go over the 'right' way.

I still think these look great for the small amount of time I put into them. PLUS, only cost me $3.50 at the Salvation Army on half off Wednesdays.

I also retailored the blazer but didn't make a video. Sometime I will show you how. It's basically the same way I retailored my red pea coat this winter. Again, the 'cheating' way;) Which BTW is usually totally worth the time/sanity saved!
