Sixty years ago my Gramma made me a deal ... she would make flares and bell bottoms out of my outdated trousers if I did house work while she sewed. I was stylin'... and her house was sparklin' clean. Forgot about that until I met you. Thank You !! ❤

[@ssoozee]

What an adorable and touching story. Your grandma sounds like fun!

[@kayenjee]

I was today years old when I found out how to properly use the seam ripper 🤯 I mean, who knew what the ball side was for?? 😅🤷🏽‍♀️

[@BlueprintDIY]

I just learned a couple years ago. 😆

[@jeannemonroe9726]

Omgosh. I never knew either and I’ve been sewing over 50 years!! 😂

[@annieruiz244]

What is the ball side for???

[@jeannemonroe9726]

@@annieruiz244 watch the video!

[@pauladillon6483]

You use the ball to run under your stitches so you don’t cut the material

[@nyneeveanya8861]

65 years old. Did this in my teenage years. For bell bottoms just rip the seams to the knees. Of course we didn’t use denim for the inserts we used contrasting colors or patterned material for the triangles.

[@robine6337]

Me too!

[@melindavinet7460]

Yes, we did this too!

[@mariannaoosthuizen9639]

The challenge is to find a matching piece of jean material though!

[@suev4143]

If you can't find an exact match, perhaps make it a design feature, and add two triangles that are very contrasting, or even patterned denim.

[@cherrie2597]

Try Good Will.

[@GrowingUpJersey]

We did this in the 1970s to make our bellbottoms wider. We used various print fabrics for contrast.

[@lettienugent]

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺I am 66 years old. I’ve been sewing since 5th grade. No one has ever taught me to use the seam ripper like you just did! That little trick is going to save me SOOO much time! Thank you SO much! 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@BlueprintDIY]

You are so welcome 🤗

[@martialartistwhodraws537]

I just decided that I wanna create a comfortable wardrobe and so, last night, I went through all the stuff that I own and put away the clothes that didn't fit nicely anymore. I'm a jeans person and there were all these jeans that would have been nice to wear if only they were a little loose. Great video girl, makes me look forward to creating little projects out of those jeans and having fun again

[@suev4143]

Great idea to use the fabric from a wraparound skirt! Love the table too. And while I knew about using a seam ripper properly, it was great to see you demo it - so many people learned something new.

[@deniseoates7147]

Of course I like how you style them. This did not look too difficult and the end result was really nice. For those of use that hard to find jeans that actually fit around the wa.ist and no hips, this is a really cool way of making them into exactly the type of denim we want. That sewing table is just awesome and I can see how it works well as a desk also because of the outlet are on the table. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come

[@wendistewart2774]

You deserve this lovely table! The assurance in the way you handle your garments helps to encourage people. You are a born teacher, as well as a garment artist. Thank you for your work!

[@NoYBW]

Love those jeans. I totally want to make these, but first I need to set up my new space. No more projects until I get that done. What size table did you buy? I want it for my new workspace! I do think it will make a great cutting table if it will be stable enough on plush carpeting. What do think? Will it work as well on plush carpet? Any concerns?

[@BlueprintDIY]

The base is very sturdy and stable. I think it will be fine because of the weight, it will sink in and not move.

[@nitaneta4025]

@@BlueprintDIY That table though…. I Love ♥️it, n all ur projects u do. I’m trying them out on my granddaughters.

[@rinzxl7589]

Shut up robot

[@honesttoblog]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have a pair of overalls that I really wanted to be wide leg, and buying new ones felt unnecessary. The tutorial was so easy and a lovely quick project!

[@QuintessentialDream]

Loved the jeans. I think they'd also look spectacular with a patterned fabric/different color denim to spice it up a bit.

[@Treegona]

Honestly, that might look even better, because you don't have the difference between the hems to worry about.

[@Claudia-wc7zw]

I aggree

[@afeminame]

This is great! I've always had a thing for wide legs and some bell bottoms. Another week to go and I will officially be able to start doing some of your diys.❤❤❤

[@debimills8110]

Wow that table and the power strip is amazing, love it!! The jeans are brilliant I am so happy you have shown how to turn my skinnys into straight leg jeans!! Go you Angelina ❤️

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊

[@katietomasello490]

Great video… Love your idea! The jeans look terrific. Sewing & designing over 50 yrs. Glad that you are showing how important it is to put time & money into your work space. The power strips are so important. My husband helped me there. I also have a large sewing ctr ( L-shaped) that he bought me 35+ yrs ago. I’m able to keep 3 machines up at all times. I can remember bk then thinking $800. was a lot of money but it was a great investment. I recently checked with the company. They still have it except for it about $1,400. Yikes, right!! But setting up your sewing area/ craft area, whichever, is really important. With my cabinets & ctr I can stay organized. Your supplies & tools, wether you sew for fun or professional need to be convenient. Think about it… if you can’t find it… you won’t use it! ❤ I use a folding table when I need extra space because of the size of my rm. But it sounds like the company recommended has a lot to offer. ❤

[@dbelton7111]

I find myself looking forward to your posts and appreciate the creativity, it’s so inspiring. 🙏🏾✨ Love the workspace and the fit of your jeans! So cute!! The styling was great as well. My favorite was with the blazer, and the sweater style was classic!! You are Amazing at this!!!💜 love it!!

Hahaha I wish I had had this guide in like 1998 when I was in elementary school and got 80’s handmedowns that were straight leg and I WANTED bell bottoms hahaha I would just cut the seams at the bottom so at least they flared out a bit. Fashion cycles are hilarious.

I wouldn't really call the jeans at the beginning "skinny jeans" by modern day standards though. More like a straight leg / mom jeans even? Both beginning and end looks great tho!

I remember girls doing this in the late 1960s and early 1970s to get 'bell bottoms. They would have a triangle shape of contrasting material to make the flare from the knee down.
