GIRL!!!!!!! It’s your season. So many wonderful things are happening for you. This tutorial is everything and it opened up several way to make jeans larger or smaller in my mind. Thank you for sharing.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yes, I’m so grateful for what’s going on! 🙌🏾 Thank you 💕

[@mdavisscadedu]

Great video. Now, I won't feel quite as bad if my jeans "shrink" in the wash. I've got a fun alternative. You look great on the streets of NYC. Hope your developing project moves along better and faster than you can imagine.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 🤗

[@nyxskids]

Just got a load of old jeans from a family friend. So my seeing this was perfectly timed. Wonderful job!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy!!

[@cathys949]

Hammering a thick multiple layer area will also make it easier to sew through!

[@pretedesigns]

Soooo cute!! I'm definitely doing this one!

[@Linette58]

Love these as usual. Thanks.

[@lkf8799]

Super cute. Loved the striped one a lot, too. Never seen that scarf look before. So creative and girly.

[@MotleyMutt2]

Oh my goodness, I remember doing this to some old jeans - forgot how i did it - so thank you for uploading this! And such cool ideas holy crap!! I'm going to be tearing up my scrap bins now. You make everything so easy to understand!

[@danamatsukawa4762]

I love these! So cute!

[@unezsimpkins9107]

Congratulations to you, your gard work has finally paid off.Blessings

[@MissArtlover76]

Epic jeans!! You are the best! Tfs 🥰🔥❤

[@AzureSkii.Kismet]

Again as always, killing it with the upcycling those jeans turned out amazing but since all of my jeans still fit perfectly I will not be doing any of mine right this minute but at least I have your ideas if needed in the future!!!💙🔥

[@Blissfully-Keto]

Awesome! I'm going to do this! Thanks!

[@tablegrape]

Incredible!!!! Soo glad I found your channel, you’re an inspiration!! 🙏🏻

[@quinn1222]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! I've recently found your channel and everything I've seen so far is so creative, fashionable, and practical. I have always wanted to try something like this with a black lace over a bright single color fabric. Adding the snap closures in like I saw in one of the clips would be really useful for me too. Thanks again!

[@missbttrsctch]

I LOVE these, thank you!!

[@bellar7936]

This is the perfect description of what I needed. I've had this adorable pair of bug embroidered jeans for 4 years and they are way too small 😅. I can't wait to do this project!

[@marciabentley9557]

Those pants are GORGEOUS! 😍🤩 You're both brilliant AND talented and deserve every bit of recognition that comes your way. Looking forward to hearing about your New York blessing.

[@mommabeebee9039]

Thank you for sharing another great idea 😊💕🌈✨👍🎉💡

[@carolyncurry9615]

You need a seam jumper to sew over the bulky fabric - I’ve seen sewers use a button before/behind the presser foot as well. Awesome jeans project! 🤩

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

Thank you so much. Amen

[@cherieoraivej]

Love this!! I would add some ribbon. But love these stars!!!

[@deirdreharmon4068]

Beautiful

Thank you so much, I came across your video just in time! I have a pair of *new* jeans still with the label on that I had put aside to give away because they are just two small but now I know what I will do with them! 😁👏And two other pairs of jeans that are the same but different colours and one pair that is getting very thin in the thighs... yipee!!! 😂 Thank you so much for sharing, you are a mine of inspiration 🙏🤗 what you did with your jeans is just lovely 💖

Angelina, you are so creative! You inspired me to start upcycling my clothes - I am getting compliments from strangers on my Angelina-inspired jeans. :)

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yasss!

[@DeviousKnitter70]

WOW! I LOVE these ideas! You need to write a book. Here is an idea for you! How about using fancy trim to cover the side panels? I am a thrifter, and sometimes I find the most beautiful trims for cheap! You are so talented! Hope you go far in all your design endeavors!!

[@williemayola]

Amazing 😊

[@Qochemist]

Praying for favor!! You are so amazing...I am thinking 🦋 for my design.

Ok, I see you, Shining Star!! ❤❤❤

[@PowerToTheLazyKids]

I'm literally in the middle of doing this with some of my old favourite jeans, this is such good timing ☺️ I just found a stain on the added panel after I already sewed it in so I'm adding a star to cover it 🤭 thank you for the inspiration!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy!!

[@fafalina2000]

Very nice

Thanks Jacqui!! ☺️🥰🤗

[@homegirl3762]

I have already upcycled 4 pairs of jeans into two different pieces thanks to you! A midi jean skirt with two jeans that didn’t fit annymore, and white jeans (they were low rise and I made them straight leg and high waisted) using an old paint of grey pants. Thank you for your creative energy, amazing ideas, and your inspiration!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yasss!!

[@webbfund737]

All the best🙏🏾👏🏾

[@pamb1193]

[@soniaregina5572]

NOSSA DURMO E ACORDO PENSANDO NAS PEÇAS QUE VC FAZ PERFEITAS ESTOU ARRUSCANDO TBM JA FIZ ALGUMAS AMO UPYCICLING

[@beckyshell4649]

Sewing is a lost skill these days. My mom was a very skilled sewer she made all of her clothes, my clothes until I was 8 or 9, and my dad's work shirts. I think she had 2 or 3 store-bought patterns the rest was paper bag patterns. She passed away while I was young so I never got to learn from her. I wanted to learn to sew but I never knew what material to use and ready-made clothes were cheaper . People could save so much money and have more unique and interesting clothes if they learned at least how to mend, hem, and do basic repair work.

[@Sniffingstar]

facts also so cute

[@bookswithatwist-vanvelzerp9262]

SO EXCELLENT - both your ideas and your personality !!!! Love this ! exactly as is - I do have a pair that "shrunk" only in the top belly area - and I don't want to mess with the legs because it has great fabric paint on it - so a tutorial on just doing the top part that will be covered even with a shirt would be cool. Shout out to your sister! Love her personality too.

[@BlueprintDIY]

I hear you. I think I’ve seen people do that the same except it’s a much shorter triangle with the wide part at the top and the point at the bottom.

[@Mommamacnz]

@@BlueprintDIY Now that's a good idea. Why didn't I think of that? Sheesh.

[@verasumter5441]

Ur jeans turned out awesome, in my mind I would do diamonds. In my mind because I don’t sew but I’m interested in learning. I like what it is that u do, keep up the good work.

[@zheahra]

You are amazing!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@myowntrendzDinoCarol]

Thanks!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!!

[@sebastiansiguasdesgonza5137]

i loved to u video, i try of make my jeans skinny on an straight or oversize.

[@paulawalker9583]

So, so cute! I love the way your brain works. Can’t wait to hear about your secret also 😉!

[@Mommamacnz]

I really liked this upcyle to the jeans. If I was to do this, I might overlay lace into the new section of the jeans - or just use a nice lace without a backing fabric if I felt like showing off my legs. I like the patches you've done, and the embroidery idea would look fabulous as well. Another idea I've just had, is that if the jeans you are using for the panel are too short, cut them at various points and include sections in there to lengthen those panels until they are long enough - it would be even more fun if the addition in that panel was a different colour from either trousers you were using for the original and the first patch.

[@BlueprintDIY]

I love those ideas!

[@rheadalrymple7726]

❤ I love this I'll try painting on the side of mine 😂

[@lc8053]

"Hammer it"- Genius!!!!

[@fadayzdesignz635]

Skillz!!!

[@thayslenamartinez3215]

I love it so much 10:23 😍😍☺️

[@deeyalafleur-moore7982]

Love!!!💜 I did a version of this for one of my sons for a few of his jeans, but I put it in the inseam, gusset style to accommodate his muscular legs. Now he can do lunges in his jeans...lol

[@jeancheek2561]

A few suggestions. You could do a zigzag around the cut outs or hand embroidery. When you want something to ease in put the longer piece on the bottom. The feed dog will draw it in for you. BUT awesome job.

[@kcstone101]

SO cute!!! I am curious how you would upsize professional trousers? I have a whole bunch that my wardrobe shrunk and if I could add sparkly tassels down the sides of everything I own, I absolutely would! Unfortunately I work in an industry where I need to blend in to the background, so I am trying to find that balance of being professional while still showing my personality. If anyone has suggestions on what to do with lighter, silkier fabric that is still work appropriate, I'd love to hear them!

[@BlueprintDIY]

This can be done on work pants. It’s all about what you choose to add as the panel. Find another similar fabric that compliments the pants. I did stripes here, but you can keep it simple. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGjFaYSbqZeIl9U

[@goodviews3597]

Boss for sure! 🥰

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@creamofthecrop2789]

Congratulations … Do it your way!

[@HannahSchzde]

Here because I thrifted a pair of pants and was sad they didn’t fit! I really thought they were gonna. I really want to wear them so I’m definitely doing this!

[@mtaylor7307]

I buy smaller jeans sometimes because they have cuter fronts. Adding @the sides with more cute? ❤ Thanks for the hammer tip too!

[@helenakhudyna2360]

Oh, just on time! I thrifted very cute high-waisted jeans, but they are 1 size too small

[@freedomwalkerpeace3727]

Good Luck With your project in NYC. I will wait for your announcement on 4/10. That's my home town.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy, thanks!!
