Tutorial: Color blocked skinny jeans

Aimee from Clones N Clowns made these color blocked skinny jeans out of two pairs of jeans with different color wash, She shares a tutorial showing how she did it. This method of getting two toned jeans was actually a workaround from her original plan. Her first thought was to use one pair that she cut, bleached, and resewed, but she read that bleach can sometimes turn denim strange colors. Instead of taking that chance, she just used another pair of jeans that already had a lighter wash . Go to Clones N Clowns for the tute. For the braver souls among us, she includes instructions if you want to give the bleaching a go.
