Grandpa Pants

You know what I'm talking about!? The kind of mens jeans that are stiff and plain AND just begging for someone to stuff a hanky in them? Where the back pockets are spaced so far apart you could park a Hummer?


Yes, those jeans.


Well, to get to the point.


I've always wanted to try moving the pockets on a pair of jeans


(serious bucket list stuff here)


anyhoo


Enter:free-jeans-my-size-I'm-cheap-I-know



I ripped off the pockets and the small "roebucks" tag.


( a girl has to have some standard ya know)


And sewed on this cute bit of ribbon.


I grabbed a pair of my favorite jeans,


with pockets in just the right spot to use as a guide.

and stitched them right back on again.
only now there's no parking space!

  1. Wow, I totally never noticed the wide pocket thing. I need to look at more bottoms I think.
