DIY Clothing Hack To Recycle Your Wardrobe

Cuff The Trouser Hems

Fashionistas these days have begun to upcycle and customize thrift store items along with their clothing that they feel would look better. With a few basic sewing abilities, you can change your wardrobe around. Many have claimed that the elastic cuffing is simple and can alter any wide-legged pants, from jogging bottoms to jumpsuits, as long as the fabric is “flimsy” enough to take the new shape.

There are numerous YouTube videos available, but the simplest method is to cut a small hole in the seam of an existing hem, feed the elastic through with a safety pin on the loose end, knot the elastic, and sew the opening closed.
