Bell Bottom Blues, don't say goodbye!
I really hate skinny jeans.... I prefer boot cut or bell bottom jeans! Sadly, it seems more and more difficult to find these in the shops. So... I found a pair of jeans I liked but they were skinny and I turned them into Bell bottom ones!

Although it was the first time I did something like this. I followed my grandmother instructions and here they are! Thanks grandma!

Step 1
You need to cut two triangles of fabric. You need to make the triangles before opening the leg.... but I forgot to take a picture so... sorry!

The width of the bell depends on the jeans. In this case I only could made a medium-size bell... but If you do the same with a boot cut jeans the bell can be wider.
Step 2
Once you have the triangles, open the leg. Obviously, you need to open the external part of the leg.
Step 3
Take the triangles and attach them to the jean with pins. Don't forget to prepare the cuff of the fabric you are adding as well!
Step 4
Then, stitch it temporarily and remove the pins.
Step 5
In the picture you can see the result of the stitching process. Ready to sew it forever!
Step 6
Sew it with the sewing machine. I think you can also do it by hand but you'll need a specific stich (I don't know which). I'm sure you can find more information on the internet.
Step 7
And there go your bell bottom jeans!
