Dreamed WHITE DENIM pull up "jeans". THRIFT FLIP. Bulk-free waistband trick. Allegro - Love Notions

I'd wanted a pair of white denim pull up "jeans" for ages but could not find the right white denim in the shops. No worries, I found a wide leg pair in a thrift shop in amazing like-new condition! The seam ripping time was very worth it. I used a tried and tested pattern for this thrift flip: Allegro bottoms from Love Notions.

[@siham1540]

I'm mesmerized by the amount of work and attention you put in every single detail!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us

[@judykski4916]

I just love all the "thrifting" videos you've been doing. Your ideas are so inspiring and helpful. My childhood years were filled with thrifted clothing from family members followed by thrift shop finds while shopping with my Mom as a teenager. Those times were precious. I still love to find great deals at the thrift shops, but since it's gain in popularity over the years, there is a lot of competition out there and a lot higher prices. A good deal is a great find when you score.

[@veronicamorrison193]

Fashion fabric is so hard to find. Thanks for the tip of finding quality fabric at thrift stores. I love your videos.

[@peggychance8728]

Great flip. I love the length on you - very fresh and up to date looking.

[@JuliaSophia52]

The length is perfect! They show off your beautiful sandals.

[@debbiesnyder4778]

I love those pants. Your sewing is so professional. Thank you for sharing

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks so much 😊

[@robynlaszlo6128]

Love watching you i get great tips and inspiration from you

[@barbarawarner4645]

I love the shorter length jeans on you! Yes, they show off your shoes and your slim ankles but also are quite - unusual for white. slenderizing ! What a great make.

[@christinadore8537]

You are a genius! I am delighted with the fit of my Allegro trousers and loving all your different ideas for them. Thank you

[@youngamy]

The thrift flips are so fun! Thanks for posting!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Glad you like them!

[@kandacek63]

I love all the outfits. The pants came out great. I especially loved the white and bronze together. Looked very stylish.😊

[@careya]

Wow, bootcut jeans are such a great shape on you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Oh thank you!

[@patgottshalk8808]

I love the length of these pants. Thrifting and flipping garments is a favorite of mine too. Thank-you for sharing your talents.

[@cindyut2b]

Wow - these are sensational... I love the Allegro bottoms pattern!

[@deniseroot7105]

I love to recycle! I loved your idea on these. I have the pattern, but haven't made them yet. I went into recycling when I wanted to make granddaughters dresses and I bought thrifted women's skirts and made bodices with quilting cotton. They loved them. Thanks, Karina! I watch and rewatch your videos every day. Right now I am having trouble finding stretch denim or twill. In Missouri.

[@marilynhardman5239]

Lovely as usual Karina, my thrift shop never seems to have nice quality fabrics. Enjoy your weekend! 💐

[@marshadimond441]

Those pants turned out so nice. I really like you showing all the different styling possibilities. You do such beautiful work.

[@brenholmes4894]

I love this idea and will definitely begin to hunt the shops for thrifted jeans and shirts. Love the waistband idea, too

[@macquadj]

Genius project! Thanks so much for wonderful idea 😊.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You are so welcome!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

More great ideas and tips. Thanks Karina

[@sbrickett]

Great video! You’re singing my tune with these thrift flip videos! I watch all your videos, but I especially love the thrifty ones. I have one thrift store local to me, but it rarely has nice quality fabric in clothes. I have seen thrift shops online, I have to search that. Thanks for these very informative videos!

[@rebeccaw9656]

Love them, and loved your styling of them. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You are so welcome!

[@lindak8664]

It constantly amazes me that you don’t have 10 times the subscribers you do! The knowledge you pour out for us is always so useful. I’ve been known to use bias binding to do a ‘false hem’ on pants which are a smidge too short. But if that hem was only 1cm, you’d only have been lucky to gain half a centimetre, so it probably wouldn’t have been worth it on those ones. Or sometimes i do a false cuff if i can squeeze out a bit of a strip of leftover fabric. I’m not a big fan of a cuff though, so that’s my last ditch desperate attempt to salvage a pair of pants. And then I don’t wear them because I don’t like cuffs 😂 They turned out so well! I loved that white outfit you put together at the end with the coat.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’ve done a hem facing many times and I just lose 1/4” of the original length. I would’ve done that if they weren’t white 😀😀

[@GeorgianNights]

Awesome, I loved all the styling. The coat one was very good.

[@gillianwhaites5974]

These are the style of pants I wear all the time. I used your link today Thankyou. Bonus I got them for even less with your coupon code. Now I can reference your videos to get a great variety of pants. 😁

[@courtneywalsh1707]

Amazing thrift flip!! Thanks for sharing this!

[@roxannecoates4695]

Thank you! You have covered so many details and great ideas for re-fitting pants. I will be using your info, and appreciate it!

[@lisemace5162]

Wow such an awesome video Karina! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You are such an inspiration! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@NancySchober]

I like how the finish on your pieced pockets makes them look like cargo pockets. You'll be happy that these are a little bit shorter in the winter to keep them up and away from any wet streets and sidewalks.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It’s actually the opposite here lol. Rains all summer and no rain in the winter. It’s all upside down here 🤓

[@milda0820]

💖💖💖

[@mama24fb27]

Love them, Karina! I'm so glad you were able to find a way to thrift clothes and fabrics to make these amazing garments! Love, love, love them!!

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

Nice! I'm currently hemming my first pair of PE Palazzo pants but I'm not convinced the dramatic width is going to work for me. But at least I know there is enough fabric for me to "thrift flip" them using a different pants pattern.

[@silverluna8835]

Your talent is something special! Wonderful work.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rubyjenkins1738]

You did it again! I said, "I am not buying that." I watched your video and switched to, "I think I had better grab that." When I went into my Love Notions account, I already owned it! I guess I had better get busy and make a few pairs. Thanks for the motivation.

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

It is truly my most used pattern! I love the pants, shorts and skirts. Once you get the fit right, this pattern is so fast to sew!

[@carolynhoppe3196]

I thrift flip a lot. In our area we don't have many fabric store options. There used to be many to choose from, but that is no longer the case. I find that I can create garments using patterns like you have done with the original garments and creating a new garment. I have several projects like this right now. It really is much cheaper if you can find something for just a few bucks and refashion it.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I used to do it all the time until I came to live here. We are in a rural area and the small towns around here just don’t have them 😭

[@Escape10mom]

I know what you mean about seeing the pockets.... I'm thinking of cutting out my front pockets on my white Glissando jeans.

[@judegoswell9493]

I have just completed my first pair of Allegro pants after working through all of your 'easy pants' series. Thank you so much for your detailed and logical instructions and demonstrations. I cant wait to make some more. ❤

[@robertafahrni7169]

awesome as always!!! Thank you!

[@sibyllolson3237]

Another great video. Karina, you never disappoint. I went thrifting yesterday and bought a linen dress and linen top to refashion. They were clearing out their clothes so I got them for only $2 each. Now the fun begins.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Love that!

[@lorlor2831]

I enjoyed this very much. I have been flipping clothes for years now and it’s so much fun. Sometimes the clerks at the store give me the side eye when I’m buying stuff but then it’s totally different the next time they see it 😂

[@victoriahannah1633]

Such awesome work & awesome talent. I love to go thrifting. I just finished paddling up my mannequin using lots of material from thrift shops. I got my mannequin free . Really helps me to see how clothes look on me and helps me adjust the fit as needed. I also get used sheets for many muslins.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

That is awesome! There’s so much potential going there.

[@heathertaylor8008]

Fabulous 👌 You might have had a little extra length to the hem if you had used bias binding - not much but maybe half an inch. Just a thought 😊

[@carolhammond9624]

❤❤❤

[@Simplesavemoney]

👍👍👍👍

[@seamsuneven7824]

I really enjoy these videos. By chance is the volume low for anyone? I watched on my cellphone. tia🥰

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It might just be a glitch on your device. I checked it on several phones and iPads around the house and the sound is normal like always.

[@lynnew5619]

I have a pair of white linen trousers that start off ok, but look like clowns pants by the end of the day. Any ideas fellow sewists as to how I re-model these pls? The linen is gorgeous. I may have some old white denim ones too that could be re-styled…hmm.
