The Making of a Memory Bear

Simple Recycling Trick

I turned these shorts into purses!!

Another quick and easy how-to on hemming pants/jeans. The best part is no one will know what you did! Your pants will look like you bought them that way!

YOU’LL NEED:

• The pants
• Sewing machine
• Thread
• Scissors
• Iron

HOW-TO:

Measure the length you want the pants to be. Remember measure twice, cut once.

Turn the piece you cut off inside out. Pin to the bottom of the pants.

Sew along the hem using the same color thread.

Cut the excess material off.

Turn right side out.

Iron to lay flat.

WEAR!!!

I spend a lot of time fixing things. Some for the first time, others as a repeat project. In this video, I show you “How I Did It,” installing an electric fireplace. Is it perfect? No. I’m no professional. At the time, I was just a single mom with a limited budget willing to do what it takes to get the job done. And if I messed it up, who cares. It’s mine.
