Last week my husband took our daughter Allie back to school shopping, just the two of them. Isn't that so cute?!
While they were out they found these super cute jeans that were on clearance. Originally $24 down to $4. SCORE!
The jeans fit her really well everywhere except in the length, they were too long.
Since I already had to break out the sewing machine, we thought it would be best to add some bling to her new pants as well.
Supplies to Hem Jeans:
If you also need to hem like I did. Here is a tutorial on how to shorten pants while keeping the original bottom hem by Just Sweet & Simple.
It is a great tutorial. Very easy to follow with lots of pictures, and it helped me take the jeans from too long to just right!
Isn't that much better?
But... There is even more that I want to do with this pair of jeans, they need some bling!
Supplies to Bling Jeans:
Instructions:
Begin by sewing the Bling on a Roll onto a strip of black fabric.
Set the sewing machine needle to go in between the rows of gems.
My daughter tried the jeans on, and then with a marker I marked where to place the gems.
Take the strip of fabric with the Bling on a Roll sewn on and cut off a small square.
Mine measured about 2 by 3 inches.
Pin the square of Bling to the inside of the pants with the bling side touching the wrong side of the jeans.
Turn the pants inside out and sew around the edges of the bling patch.
Turn the jeans right side out and with a seam ripper cut a hole within the square of where the bling patch is placed.
Distress the edges by pulling on the raw edges. The holes will distress more when the pants are washed.
These blinged Jeans are so cute and Allie loves them too!
The best part is these rhinestone jeans is that they are machine wash! Just throw them in with another load of jeans, and you are good to go.
Have you ever altered your clothes to make them fit your style?

That's a really cool idea! I was just complaining today about how sewing for Tweens is tough. The want everything glittery and sequeny which doesn't tend to be real friendly with frequent washings. Then I find that most stuff is too babyish or too grown. So I love this idea so, so much!

I love it. I remember when I was young they had a thing called the bedazeler. Trims have come a long way since then.

I love these jeans! You're giving me ideas... the bling would also work great on jeans that already have holes in them!

How nice. Amazing how simple but so effective,especially as they only cost $4.
I recently visited St Vinnies,and they had a whole rack of jeans for $2each. I got 3 pairs and they look new. :)Might try this with one of them.
