Sewing can be unsewn. Cutting can't be uncut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy/page/2#post-1717906 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:39:20 +0000 Suz 1717906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun, and I like the shorter length.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, can't take my eyes off your sparkly bootie-slippers! :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy/page/2#post-1717903 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:38:21 +0000 RobinF 1717903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really cute.

All my jeans are too long so I think it's time to try this myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy/page/2#post-1717837 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 15:43:50 +0000 catgirl 1717837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, I find it hard to believe that you and your phenomenal sewing talents are nervous about this project! That's why I went out and thrifted a pair for experimenting - no emotional attachment to the item. You will probably school me in technique! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717739 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 11:49:54 +0000 anchie 1717739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look for your RATE style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717725 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 11:03:07 +0000 Jeanie 1717725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought when seeing the Frame jeans this season was that a pair of scissors could easily accomplish the same look. &nbsp;Great new look at $200 savings.....can't beat that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717683 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 05:22:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1717683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done. I've been contemplating doing the Mother step-hem treatment on some jeans of mine, but I haven't gotten up the nerve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717605 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 00:56:11 +0000 Brooklyn 1717605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, fun! I like the shorter length. Now I am imagining this look with my floral booties. Hmmm. I wonder if I have any jeans that are hack worthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717604 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 00:52:05 +0000 Aida 1717604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the final length! I'd be inclined to trim the back up a bit shorter so it's not so huge a difference in length between front and back, but may as well wear like this a bit and see how you feel. You can always go shorter. SO FUN with the sparkly boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717603 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 00:48:35 +0000 catgirl 1717603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see other DIYs of these! I am having a blast wearing these and getting lots of questions. Will post a pic of my final outfit... I think this is as short as I will go for fall but I think a little shorter would work too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717594 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 00:24:30 +0000 Karie 1717594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a great DIY project. I wish I had a pair of jeans I could try this with. The shortest length is the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717580 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 23:01:42 +0000 Muffin 1717580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great! I tried the black Frame ones on today- the feel and the fit, they are a total love--except the staggered hem was too long. I pulled it up some in the fitting room and my ankles are just too thick I think for it to be even JFE. I kept going back and forth on whether to see if the tailor could shorten, but then was thinking that was crazy for $200 jeans. You completely win for the DYI--now go buy those SW boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717579 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 22:55:35 +0000 approprio 1717579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! Nice with the black patent booties. I am all for a DIY solution. And Math of all orientations.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717558 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 21:19:48 +0000 Susie 1717558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for the boots, you just brought your average per piece WAY down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717556 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 21:10:00 +0000 Sara L. 1717556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great DIY project!&nbsp; I like the shorther length that you ended up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717539 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:31:11 +0000 catgirl 1717539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly!

This look is not for everyone. I am wearing it out today and feel so happy and like myself. Mostly I'm just glad to have finally found my cropped look and at this price it's fun to experiment! The sweater is an old thrifted one from gap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717532 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:20:43 +0000 viva 1717532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool, and I love that you did it yourself.</p> <p>I have to admit, I am not a lover of this style for myself. I am not at all sure why, but it does absolutely nothing for me. And you know I am not afraid of trendy pants and jeans! But I'm so happy you will wear these so that I can enjoy them on you.</p> <p>And hey, what sweater is that???? I LOVE it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717525 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:53:19 +0000 Banoffi 1717525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great chop job! &nbsp;You've inspired me to find a pair of jeans in my closet I can hack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717524 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:47:48 +0000 Barbara Diane 1717524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, looks great, and terrific price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717521 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:41:42 +0000 MidwestrnChic 1717521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking of doing this and you've just convinced me.&nbsp; What a great look on you!&nbsp; Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717519 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:36:13 +0000 Angie 1717519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer hack job, and like #3 best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717517 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:33:47 +0000 Susie 1717517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! I think the shorter length looks perfect. Hmmm, I have a pair of black jeans I've been wanting to replace anyway so I might try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717510 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 18:55:31 +0000 Colette 1717510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you did this, they look great! Love the shorter length. These frayed hem, staggered hem, released hem styles are so easy to DIY and give old jeans a new life. I've done a few already on my own jeans that were in deep storage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717506 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 18:40:38 +0000 catgirl 1717506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, these are non-sausage skinnies with a looser calf fit and work really well.&nbsp; I think a straight leg would also work.&nbsp; As you cut higher the leg naturally gets wider, and I would worry about the back part flapping around rather than hanging down.&nbsp; The Frame ones look pretty straight but my calves and ankles are so skinny I'd have upsidedown pant hem flowerpot effect! </p> <p>Your higher shaft boots would look crazy fab this way.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717503 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 18:28:09 +0000 Janet 1717503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, especially shorter. Great DIY job!</p> <p>I'm wondering about what width of leg would work best for this -- straight, I assume? Not flares. Hmm. I don't have any extra jeans at home I could sacrifice to the experiment, and it's hard enough for me to find jeans that fit that I have little hope of a thrift shop find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-frame-denim-staggered-hem-diy#post-1717502 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 18:26:35 +0000 catgirl 1717502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana!&nbsp; I agree, and I need to find the right top look for this now, as I'm not used to croppy looks.&nbsp; But this seems like the right kind of crop for me, or maybe even a wee bit shorter.&nbsp; *scissor-happy* </p>
