DIY boyfriend jeans



Finding the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans is HELL.
After about 2 years of searching, I gave up. there is no such thing as a pair that would fit by waist, butt and thighs...

Then I found these jeans at VV's Boutique (Value Village) and thought to myself: these would make the perfect boyfriend jeans.. if they were ripped more... and had a skinnier leg.... so for 5.99 they were mine for the crafting.

Before: 
 
1) turn the jeans inside out and put them on . Pin down the calves, keeping in mind you don't want skinny jeans! 



2) sew along the outside of the pins, I went over it twice to make sure it would hold. Put them on to make sure you didn't do something weird. 



3) snip snip !! Cut of the excess, leave about 1/4 inch of Jean past the stitches
 

4) Distress them. All it took to get these where I wanted was some sandpaper and some elbow grease.. Easy!! 

5) wear your fabulous new boyfriend jeans.
