if you have any jeans that are old or too short or you just don't like them, then this is the project for you! you don't even need a sewing machine, although it does make the process go faster and easier. for this project there are only 3 simple steps:
1) cut the jeans the length you want the new shorts or capris to be (you can finish the edges off, but you don't have to, you can leave them "rough" and put the ribbon on over it)
2) pin on some ribbon around the edges of the new length (i pinned on the top and the bottom of the ribbon to keep it in place as i sewed)-the thicker (and more elaborate) the ribbon the better-more elaborate ones hide the stitching.
3) sew the ribbon on (this part was actually a little harder for me because the leg of the pants are so little, so it took some serious maneuvering.
i had sew (hee hee) so much fun making these and i think my daughters better will enjoy wearing them! have fun!
