We select material

As a basis, any unnecessary jeans of adult family members are suitable. If their color is not as bright as you want, then you can simply repaint the fabric, dropping it into a dye of a suitable color.

Important! When painting, remember that light colors repainted in darker and brighter will not be a problem, but on the contrary, it is unlikely to succeed.

Some prefer shabby material. This effect can be achieved if wet jeans are intensively rubbed with a stiff brush for clothes in the right places.

Important! If the fabric is not very dense, then do not rub too hard, or you just tear the jeans. And if the material is dense, then you can even arm yourself with a pumice stone.

We sew a sundress

Important! Before you start shredding old jeans, keep in mind that such a sarafan is worn with T-shirts, turtlenecks, so it should be slightly looser than a dress taken for a pattern.

Getting started:

• We cut off the pieces of the legs, unzip them and begin to cut a sundress.
• We take the dress, fold it in half in length and transfer the pattern to the prepared jeans.
• We make allowances of a few centimeters. We should get two parts - front and back. This is the body of the sundress.
• We sew the straps, for them we cut two rectangles of approximately 8 by 27 cm, each of which is sewn from the wrong side.
• Then we turn it on the front side and stitch the edges.

Important! Now the length of the sundress can be adjusted. These straps can be sewn directly or crosswise.

• Back pockets from old jeans can migrate to your sundress. They can be placed in front on both sides or make one pocket in the middle.

Important! The edges of pockets and straps can be sewn with a decorative stitch of bright threads. The same line can be left in the center of each strap.

• Sew the straps to the base of the sundress.Two rows of buttons can be sewn for more convenient length adjustment.
