Tutorial – Make Over For Outgrown And Worn Jeans

by 9 Comments

Another PURPLE idea:)

One of my favorite things to do is to upcycle clothing! So I had a pair of jeans for my daughter that still fit well in the waist but they got to short and the knee area was all worn and getting thin.

I had purchased this adorable purple t-shirt from Gymboree (on sale for $3.99) and thought I would make both pieces into an outfit!

Download my tutorial that explains step-by-step how I turned my drab jeans into this fab little number!

My daughter’s new outfit costs less than $5.00!

    You do wonders on recycling things. I never was very good at sewing. Will have to leave that to you.
