First I had to do the math. I wanted the jeans 4" longer. I cut my insertion piece 6" wide and used 1/2" seams (6" minus four 1/2" seams = 4" added).
I measured 15" from the bottom of the jeans. This places my cut line just below my knee.
Cut straight across, jeans are ready for insertion.
I used 10 oz. black denim. Navy was too hard to match, so rather than look like a poor matching job, I went with contrast.
Embroidered a horse design from Momo-Dini so it will show on the outside leg. |
