You can add pinucks to jeans and other fabric items.A small fold is sewed in a straight line on fabric.If you like the idea of making your own pintuck jeans, you could use a sewing machine and a few basic sewing supplies.
Step 1: The bottom of each leg should be cuffed.
To adjust the cuff length, roll up the pant leg's cuff.When the rolled-up part is removed, this will give you an idea of what the cuff will look like.The bottom of the trench is marked with a piece of white chalk.If you want to see the length in a mirror, you should put these pants on.Without a second opinion or a mirror, it can be hard to tell if the length is right.
Step 2: Use your scissors to remove the hems from each leg.
Roll the cuffs.The place where the pants should be cut to remove the bottom hem is indicated by your chalk line.Go over the line with your chalk if it's faint.To remove the hem, cut the pants at this line.The line for cutting your hem should cross the leg from one side to the other.After the leg is removed, the bottom hem can be thrown away or recycled.
Step 3: To mark the line on the leg, use chalk.
The jeans should be laid on a clean surface.The ruler can be used to find the center of the leg.The center of each pant leg will be run up by the pintsuck line.Use chalk to mark the center line.The lines start at the bottom of your cuff.There are lines from the top hem to the center of the fly.Where the fabric transitions from hip to thigh, your pintuck line will point at the top fly button.It is a good idea to apply the chalk lightly.If your line isn't perfect, you can use a lint-free rag.Go over the lines with chalk.
Step 4: To evaluate the lines, put on the pants.
The cut of some pants can cause your lines to fall differently.If you put on your marked pants, you can figure out if this is the case for you.The lines are visible in a mirror.If you don't have a mirror, ask a friend to look at your lines or take a picture of your pants with a cell phone camera.Attach lines with a dry, lint-free rag and wipe away chalk.If you need to make adjustments to your lines, take a picture of them so you have a reference point.
Step 5: Press the lines with an iron.
The pant leg should be folded at the line.When the fabric is creased at the pintuck line, press the crease with an iron.Do this for both pantlegs.The crease of each leg should face inward at the space between pant legs.
Step 6: Attach the fold to the sewing machine.
It will take less time if you use a sewing machine.The lines should be sewed from the pressed crease.Each line should be sewn along its entire length.You may want to match the color of the thread you use to sew the lines to the jeans.A bold color may add a unique touch to your pintuck.
Step 7: It's time to show off our homemade jeans.
Many people like to turn up the cuffs of their jeans to highlight the rough cut.This look will work well with most casual tops.Tops with a few simple vertical lines or frills can create a better sense of cohesion.
Step 8: You should spot clean your jeans.
Your jeans can be cleaned with a white, lint-free rag and soapy water.Let the stains air dry.Hang your pants in the bathroom to refresh them without washing them.Spot treatment sprays or detergent pens can be used to remove stubborn stains.The best results can be achieved by following the cleaner's instructions.
Step 9: The jeans are rarely worn.
The denim fibers can break if the jeans are washed too often.The bottom hem of the pantleg can be removed, which will make the adjusted cuff pintucks more difficult to break.Don't wash your pintsucks more than once a month.When washing jeans, use a cold cycle.The fabric will not shrink or fade as a result of a cold cycle.
Step 10: After washing jeans, air dry them.
It is possible to machine dry your jeans in a pinch, but try not to.The heat from the dryers will shorten the life of your jeans.Hang dry jeans around your home.The sun will bleach the color of your jeans over time if you hang them in the sun.
