Altered Jeans

September 20th, 2010 @ 7:14 pm

Yep, another project DONE! I’m on a roll. :)

I hate jeans that don’t have a design on the back pockets. I think it makes people’s butts look bigger (weird, I know). I just found a great pair of jeans (thanks to my neighbor…thanks Jen!). I love them!!! They are so comfortable and look great on (yes, tooting my own horn and saying I look great in a pair of jeans). :)

These jeans have two major flaws. They do not have a design on the back pockets AND they have a hole in the knee (stupid, I know). So, I fixed both of those issues following tutorials I found online.

  2. That would be way cute too. I’ll have to do that to another pair of jeans (I’m not messing anymore with these). :) I have some less than flattering jeans that could use a little sprucing. Great idea!

  5. honestly–you are so cute. and now i’m going to feel self-conscious that my butt looks bigger than it is because i don’t have jeans with pockets or with pockets and designs.

    LOL>!

  6. LOL! It’s a trick I read somewhere and saw the difference between no stitching and stitching on the back pockets and it made a HUGE difference. :)
