But even more than that, I love that outfit with the OTK boots. Great job styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219749 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:32:33 +0000 lady 219749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only echo in amazement.

Clever lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219623 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:39:32 +0000 Elly 219623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Damn girl! Wow, those pants look great and am also impressed with you sewing skills. I am a decent seamstress, but I hate altering pants most of all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219621 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:36:14 +0000 stylemama 219621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! I have almost the same pair of bootcut cords from 2 years ago. I've worn them three times maybe. I may have to give the altering a try.</p> <p>I love the boots too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219588 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:33:43 +0000 Sihaya 219588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome Kim. I especially like them with the boots. Great look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219577 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:15:04 +0000 kellygirl 219577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like QM has some competition in the alterations department. Way to adopt those orphans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219555 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 18:39:34 +0000 Kim 219555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only took them in on the inside seam and they seem to be hanging fine. As I said I did the "pin and sew" method, so I could see any problems before I sewed them into the pants! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219551 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 18:29:28 +0000 Queen Mum 219551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlene- when I did it, I took evenly from both sides for that very reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219544 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 18:18:17 +0000 Anonymous 219544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That looks simple enough. Question: since you only take in one side of the jeans, do they still hang right? I would think you would need to take in BOTH seams so the fabric was straight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219534 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:55:47 +0000 chewyspaghetti 219534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219533 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:52:25 +0000 Kim 219533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the website with two types of instructions. Pretty simple really. I used the Pin then Sew method.</p> <p><a href="http://juniperjames.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/how-to-make-skinny-jeans-in-under-an-hour/" rel="nofollow">http://juniperjames.wordpress......r-an-hour/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219530 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:47:03 +0000 Anonymous 219530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where on the internet did you find the instructions?

( I am a cord fan, so no tsk, tsk, from me. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-challenge-adopt-and-orphan#post-219511 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:29:27 +0000 Kim 219511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are a pair of bootcut cords (I know, I know, but I love the color and the texture!) that have been languishing in my closet for a year or so...I decided to make em skinny! </p> <p>So, after some reading on the internet (who knew?) and an hour of my time I now have a revamped pair of pants that I can see using quite a lot this winter!</p> <p>Shown first is the boot cut pants. Sorry for the bare feet, but hey, I'm in a hurry! LOL<br /> Next is the new pants "styled" and third is the pants with shoes so you can see them. They are probably somewhere between a skinny and a straight cut, but this is my first try at this and I'm pretty happy with the results.</p> <p>So this orphan has been adopted (adapted) and will be earning a home in my closet this winter. </p>
