Invented in America many years ago, jeans today are in the wardrobe of any person, regardless of age and sex. There is nothing surprising in this. First of all, jeans are always beautiful and fashionable, and secondly, clothes made of this material are very durable. That's why very few people decide to throw away their favorite, but already irrelevant because of the style or color of the jeans. Having connected the imagination, everyone is able to give this part of the wardrobe a second life, and the masters do not get tired of making us happy with new ways of using old jeans. Jeans give a lot of opportunities for processing, as well as creating stylish and cute things. Clothing, interior items, accessories, souvenirs - that's just a small part of what can be done with worn jeans.
The first thing you can do with your favorite, but podnadoevshey clothes, is to change its color. Jeans can be painted with acrylic paints or special dyes for fabric, boil (or "weld"). If these options for certain reasons are not suitable, try changing the style, making old jeans breeches or shorts. If the shorts can not afford to wear by far not all the girls because of the features of the figure, age or belief, then jeans breeches, made by the same hands, quite universal clothing.
Want to learn how to properly cut jeans under the original breeches , giving them a new life? Nothing is easier! So, we make jeans breeches together.
We will need:
- a pair of old jeans;
- sewing machine;
- thread;
- scissors;
- a piece of chalk;
- pins.
- The first thing you need to do before you change jeans into breeches, is to decide on the length of the future product. To do this, put them on and mark the desired length with chalk. Then, down and up from the center line, set aside the width of the one-piece cuff. In our example, this is 4 centimeters, but your cuffs may be narrower or wider. Draw parallel lines with chalk (that is, there should be three lines in total).
- Now, on the very bottom line, cut off excess fabric, but do not rush to throw. It is useful for a cuff pattern. This strip is necessary in order to hide the side seams on the breeches that will be on the front side when bending. Fold the long sides of the cuff one centimeter on the wrong side, and then tune them to the side seam so that it is in the center. (By the way, you can skip this step if the seams look quite decent or emphasize a somewhat brutal style.)
- Note that you can not flex the short sides of the cuff, because they will not be seen. Stepwise cut the length of the cuff and stitch it as shown in the photo. Then fold the cuff to the front side by 4 centimeters, then another 4 centimeters, and fix the step and side sections with lines.
- In general, the lesson on how to make jeans from breeches can be completed. But if you want, you can also fix the cuffs, so that after each wash do not steam them with an iron. Do it with decorative stitches on the sewing machine simply. We chose a zigzag.

That's right, in just an hour your favorite jeans can turn into a new thing, which will always be appropriate in your everyday wardrobe.
Decor
If breeches seem boring and uninteresting to you, there are a lot of decorating options that will make the thing "come to life." Cuffs and pockets, for example, can be decorated with thermos, paillettes, embroidery, appliqués - whatever you want! Just do not forget that the decor elements must withstand washing. And you can wear jeans breeches with a lot of different things, creating interesting images.
