Learn to Make Trendy Mom Jeans Out of Men’s Jeans

Tools and materials:

• Jeans
• Buttons
• Scissors
• Sewing machine

This pair of men’s jeans was just way too big for me. I knew I could refashion them into the perfect pair for me and I couldn’t wait to get started! 

The first thing I did was try on the men’s jeans. I then pulled the side with the buttonhole until it was the perfect fit on my waist and pinned it to mark that point. Once the pin was in place, I used a pencil to mark the new fit. 

I then rolled up the leg of the jeans and pinned along the side seam at the place where I would need to take the legs in. 

I used my scissors to cut off the bottom part of the legs. 

I then drew a diagonal line from the bottom of the leg to the pocket and pinned along that line. 

I hopped on over to my sewing machine and sewed along my pinned line. I then cut off the excess fabric from the original legs. 

Once I had my new side seams in place, I knew I needed to press them to get the denim sitting properly. I wanted these new jeans to have a professional, clean finish. 

Next, I cut open the seam at the crotch so that I could make the alterations to the waistline and get the perfect fit for my new, trendy jeans. 

I opened up the zipper and sewed down the one side using the marking I had made earlier as a guide. While I was at the sewing machine I decided to hem the bottom of the pants as well. I couldn’t believe they were so close to being finished. 

Finally, it was time to hand sew my new button. I stitched where the buttonhole would be and then cut it out. Next, I sewed a button onto the other side of the jeans. 

I am so happy with the end results! These mom jeans are amazing. How would you style this pair? Let me know in the comments below!
