    Measure the width of the pant leg and purchase the amount of binding based upon that measurement, plus 1 1/2”
  • 1 Straight Leg Cargo Style Jeans
  • Scissors, Iron, Glue, Fusing Strips or
    Needle and Thread

Instructions

  1. Cut two pieces of blanket binding the width of the pant leg plus 1 1/2 inches.
  2. Press open seam in binding.
  3. Cut four pieces of trim, the length of blanket binding.
  4. Stitch, glue or fuse two pieces of trim to the top and bottom edges of the blanket binding, making a “cuff”.

  7. Add a colorful scarf or piece of trim through belt loops for the final accent.
