OK, CountryLuthier does not , I REPEAT, does not wear skinny jeans

Now that the disclaimer has been issued, we continue. This lens came about through the kind auspices of my daughter. She being a very thrifty girl figured it out. Her dad who wears relaxed fit jeans, is putting it on a lens to see what the community thinks.

Safety first there hard charging sewers!

According to eldest daughter, there is a thing most folks who can handle a pointed thing called a needle without pricking themselves into a low blood level alarm can use to create glamour at home, recycling jeans! Your can join our green jean movement! Not the same as Mr. Green Jeans of Captain Kangaroo fame. Hope that doesn't date me.

Git'r done Glamour fans

This is supposed to be fairly simple sports fans. Obtain a pair of jeans you would like to convert. Turn these same jeans inside out. Use straight pins to lay out the new leg patterns on each side. Sew down the leg (not sure if you can sew over the straight pins), I'll have to get back after a conversation with eldest daughter. Remove the straight pins. Turn the new glamor jeans right side out. Try them on, hopefully there is enough room and you did not make them tooooooooo tight. If the size is good, pat your self on the back . Your work here is done. If not, re-pin and do it again correcting as necessary. That's all there is to it.
