DIY Skinny Jean Hack!👖 How to sew flares into slim pants + Taper pant leg into straight cut tutorial

In this video I’ll show you step by step how to take in the legs of flared/bootcut jeans and turn them into a slim/straight cut style. I also took up the length of these jeans in a separate tutorial you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzlaaCMomW0 so that you can achieve a very tailored look for your beloved denim items!

Welcome to Slew Living. I'm Esther and I sew stuff to support a slow lifestyle.

If you’re starting to learn about sustainable and ethical fashion and how to curate a more mindful closet, a great step is to learn how to alter and mend clothing and accessories to make them last longer. This way you can really invest in the key pieces of your wardrobe that you get the most wear out of, and in the long run save the planet from excess clothing that ends up in landfill.

You might be surprised to learn that most carbon emissions emitted from the fashion supply chain are from the end user (us!) that come from caring for the garment like washing, drying and disposing of it at the end of it’s life. Prolonging the life of a garment therefore decreases the emissions required to create new garments, and also the disposal of it to landfill. In the words of Vivienne Westwood, ‘Buy less, choose well and make it last!’
