Tutorial: Lace cuff jeans 2 ways
Anne from WobiSobi shows how to make lace cuff jeans, with 2 variations. One has lace peeking out the bottom of the hem and is a good fix for jeans that are too short. The other has the lace more as a cuff that is stitched to the bottom of the jeans, showing more of the lace. If you want, you can also add lace to the pocket to coordinate.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Eh – the lace on the bottom looks like what it is – trying to make short jeans look longer. they still look too short.
