Fringes to make your jeans look chicer

What could be simpler than pretty fringes to lengthen the bottom of your jeans?

Denim fringes, fur fringes or even beaded fringes?

You won't recognise your old jeans!

The great thing about customisation is that
you can afford to get crazy. This is the time to imagine pieces that really look like you and that no one else will have.

Indulge yourself!

Add a piece of fabric and increase the length of your denim

If you're looking for something a little less flashy, you can also sew a piece of fabric of your choice to the bottom of your Trousers.

This could be denim, a plain or patterned fabric. The important thing is to
choose a fabric whose weight is close to that of your jeans.

This will give it a good hold.

So the bottom of your jeans pucker, pucker, pucker!

We were telling you the other day how to pucker your fabrics, well here's a perfect opportunity to put what you've learnt into practice.

Try making pretty gathers from jeans in the same colour as the one you want to lengthen.

All you'll have to do now is sew them onto the bottom of your denim!
