I bought this denim for my son when he was 4 months old and after 3 months it was already short on him, but i loved it and wanted to do somthing with this, and yesterday i did ;)
Before and After Pic
Ikea cloth piece from As-is, worth 10 Dhs.
cut two pieces of same size according to width of pants.
sew each length wise, making them double.
Attaching extensions with denim, with needle & thread.

attaching the second one.
sewing both, using machine.
folding extension upwords, according to length
required & making sure to hide the stitching line
once folded upwords, i stitched both the clothes.

ta-daaa and I got my baby's denim back, which I can use for another 4 months :)
have a great day
bye.
Great upcycle!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a cool idea! I have at least 4 pairs of jeans of my son's. he is 2.5 yrs old and growing up like a weed...because he looks so cute in denims i keep buying them and in 3 months time they are too short again! Im going to try this trick...am off to festival centre tpday and picking up some material. Then I shall be off to karama and ask my wonderful tailor to fix them all. I dont have a sewing machine at home, else it would have hardly cost me anything na!
ReplyDeleteLoved this idea...thanks for sharing.
