- - Similar designer cargo jeans have a price tag of $1,200, but you can make your own on a dime! Mine started as a thrifted pair of men's Wrangler's for $6.99. In this detailed DIY video, I will explain step by step, from beginning to end, how to achieve this very cool trendy look. We will be making cargo flap pockets, embellishing with denim scraps, distressing, bleaching and more. Hope you enjoy!

Yes!! The second pair of jeans I did, I used a pair of black cargo pants. I cut off the flap pockets from the cargo pants, then added them to the front of my jeans. I added black, white and gray paisley print patches, then some embroidery and painting. They were perfect for work at the studio because the pockets were deep enough for paintbrushes and markers, etc.
Sounds amazing 🤗💕💕💕
The waistband in jeans can be used as a casing for elastic. Just slash an opening inside of the waistband under the front two belt loops to hide the stitching. Then insert the elastic and safety pin it in place until the correct elastic length can be determined. It will probably have to be stitched by hand or the stitching will show. I just sew patches over the opening so I can unpick them if I need to replace the elastic. I used no roll so it would stay in place. After they are washed and dried a couple of times the gathering doesn't really show. It will if the waistband is gathered a lot though. It makes using the toilet easier not having to unzip and unbutton the pants.
Thank you 🤗💕💕
I suddently realize, that I've always needed a pair of cargo-jeans-trousers. 😄So cute. 😍❤
Lol! Love it!🤗❤❤❤
Fabulous tutorial--great detail and good pace! You are a great teacher. I greatly appreciate your upcycling videos!!! ❣
Thank you so so much!!🤗💕💕💕💕
The generosity of your knowledge is greatly appreciated. Very easy to understand and thoroughly explained. Thank you.
I appreciate that so much, thank you 🤗❤❤❤❤
WOW! these are extreme cargo pants!! I bet some like these would easily be at least $400 at a retail store if not more!!! $$$ Looks like alot of work but they turned out awesome!!! Your very inspirational!
I think it would be easier if,.... you just made me a pair, lol.
Cool jeans!
🤗❤❤❤❤
They are so cute. I have been watching so many make these. Yours are the best, and the easiest tatorral to follow. Thank you so much for sharing with us❤❤❤

I have tons of projects in mind already!
I'm so glad i ran across your channel!
Aww the best compliment ever! Have fun!!!🤗💞💞💞
@tmyershandmade978
Of course, I picked out something that I love the bones of, but I'm so stuck on! It's an 80s linen, pink, short sleeve, jacket and shorts suit. I don't know what to do with it! I'm the worst about that! I make jewelry, graphic shirts, decals, home decor, etc
It's always the same! The things I really love and want to reimage, I get stuck on! 🤦♀️
I've been binge watching your videos to see if I get any inspiration for it! Wish me luck!

I've got one word for this project:
🌺🌼🌻*WOW*🌺🌻🌼!!!
Aww thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕
Dear Tracy, I can't wait for you to show us the silver button! To speed up this moment, maybe you could release duplicates of some of your videos with titles in other languages: French, Spanish, Russian, German, Italian and Portuguese. It will be necessary to make small changes to the video sequence, but your baby is a master at this and knows best how to do it. I myself would like for as many people who love beauty as possible to get to know you and your style. In fact, while someone is learning classic sewing and practicing stitching 0.5 millimeters, such beauty and unique technique pass them by.Your work is so unique and gorgeous that the first time I watched one of your videos, I swear I was so amazed that I couldn't blink my eyes for a whole half hour!😂
Aww thank you, that's wonderful advice.🤗💖💕💞
Hi Traci, These are my favourite things you've made 😍😍😍😍
Thank you!🤗❤❤❤
You create such fun things Traci! Thank you once again for sharing your imaginative process!
Happy Thanksgiving girl!
Brenda 🍂
Aww thank you so so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!🤗💖💖💖💖💖💖
Another Amazing Tutorial! Happy Thanksgiving!❤
Using your words, 'super cute'!! ❤⚘️❤️
Lol!!! Love it🤗💕💞💓💗💖
Very creative and well executed :)
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
@@tmyershandmade978 Upcycling is one of my favourite types of sewing which is why I love your channel.
@@BratBustersParenting mine too! Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
Ty for this! I been Craving some Cargo Pants but just CAN'T find any i like ... Gonna have to make my own. ♥ Pockets upon Pockets with more Pockets ... Always a WIN in my book. ♥
Love it!!!🤗❤❤❤
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. The coolest cargo jeans ever. Love the strategy of the side pockets.
Actually…I love everything…the construction work is wonderful. Very very nice. Very well done. Amazing. Never never disappointed.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Awww! Thank you so much 🤗💕💞💓💗💖

@tmyershandmade978 you are so inspiring and I love your style. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talents ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so so much!🤗💖💖💖💖
Great😊
Thank you 🤗💕💕💕
Oh, I Love these! I will definitely be trying this. I wonder if I can get a pair done before Thanksgiving. I'd love to wear them to our family gathering!
Have fun!! These took me 2 days, but filming takes up a huge portion of that time.🤗💕💕💕
You are so creative! Supercool idea! Gotta say, when you were modeling them I could sense a little bad *ss 💪 vibe 😊! (Love ❤ the shots of your beautiful 🤩 craft studio in the editing 😉!!!)
Lol maybe a little🤗💕💞💓
Que suerte tener tantas tiendas de ropa usada a tu alcance,en donde yo vivo una provincia de España no hay básicamente nada.
That would be hard😔💕💕💕💕
You wonderful ❤️
Thank you!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Thank you for showing us how to make the cargo pockets!! I was wondering g how I would ever find that many c pockets. ❤❤❤
My pleasure!🤗💕💕💕💕
Geweldig ❤😊
Thank you 🤗❤❤❤❤
Super cute Traci! You could also make the extra waistband at the hems, like a cinched, to close the leg up or leave it open.
Also, I might have to take ALL my extra seems and open them up to make a whole new piece of material!❤
I thought about that!🤗💕💕💕💕
Fkn Love these!
Thank you!!😘💕💕💕💕
Amazing as always! Thx for everything you do for us, the prep & planning isn't shown on the videos but I'm sure I speak for all of us in saying we appreciate how much effort goes in before "the show". Wondering if you have any thoughts on converting skinny jeans to barrel leg jeans?!
Haven't really given the barrel jeans much thought 🤗💖💖💖
lol, I made a tiny hole too! same place! Im starting to make the cargo pockets, girl!!, I accidently, idk how, lol ..but my pocket ended up backwards! so its lighter, but thats ok, but the fold on top is on the outside! its still ok!..as you say, its do able..
Lol it just needs to pretty, not perfect🤗💖💖💖💖💖💖
Супер!❤
Очень круто! ❤
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞
I love these- not so confident sewing the large side pockets though.
They are a little challenging, but by the inch it's a cinch.🤗💕💕💕
Wow those are awesome. Hey tracy do you have any videos. On how to dye denim to get them white?
You have to be careful with regular bleach as it causes the fabric to break down if you bleach too much. I wonder if anything else would work
I don't, maybe rit color remover?🥰
I need to try rit color remover🤗💕💕💕
Im almost done making my pair of cargos! I love all your videos. Is there a place i can send you an idea for a project that would be awesome if you could do it?
Instagram dm's, my user name is: traci_myers
I'd love to see!🤗💞💞💞
These are amazing but think I’m gonna do the larger pockets on the bottom, the proportion is a little off for me
Go for it🥰
Hi there! What’s the Brand if the Iron, you’re using? Thank you!
these really are adorable, but I have to ask are they comfortable, especially for sitting? Do the buttons on the back of the leg poke you when you sit?
Very comfy😊
thank you for responding@@tmyershandmade978
Wow. They look heavy; but, they are interesting. If you put something in those lower pockets, can you bend your knees or get down on the floor? Cargo pockets on the sides (that don't get in the way of the knees) are handy for keeping knives, markers, pencils, and other objects safe and ready for use. Those strings look like they could get in the way (or be dangerous) if worn for work in many areas. However, they do make a fashion statement.

❤❤❤❤❤❤
So cute. It looks like your hands are recovering very well. Would you call the surgery a booming success? 🙂
Thank you😊 recovery is slower than I expected and very uncomfortable nerve pain. Hopefully someday it will feel like a booming success lol🤗❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have a fabric chalk that you particularly like using.... I am worried about using marking pen,marker,or chalk on a chiffon. Thanks
I use Tailor's chalk. I have a link in my description 🤗💕💕💕
درود بر شما خانم هنرمند ❤❤❤
🤗💕💕💕💕
I am curious as to why you don't use a jean-a-ma-jig? It has saved me so many headaches and broken needles. Also you won't need to hammer on the thick parts anymore.😊
Never heard of it🥰
@@tmyershandmade978 you can find them at most fabric stores.
I want to learn to sew so badly but I've seen some things that keep my brand new machine in a box 😂
I started sewing in elementary school and had taken it in school. My mom was my first teacher and ny aunt😊. I continued to challenge myself throughout the years. I have learned a whole new way to sew and upcyle from Traci's Channel. First step and pull it out of the box. ❤ Next, Find a TH-cam channel that will support you and your new sewing skills. Finally, sew, sew, sew!
@elainepeterson1269 My grandmother was a professional seamstress. She died when I was little.
My mother has sewed 3 fingers together in front of me.
I have a mental war inside me daily between them.
I'm 44 and have never touched a machine thanks to my mother.
Why don't you try hand sewing? It takes longer but you can make anything that you can with a machine, and many things that you can't. Start with something simple like a small pillow! You can do it!😊
@@maddonut621if you watch a sewing video, it means you are ready to part with your psychological trauma. It's time to take out your sewing machine and check if the mice have chewed the wires on your machine.
@oxioxi7420 It hasn't been that long... lol maybe like 10ish months?? Maaybe?
❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍

Thank you!!!🤗💕💕💕
How are you going to sit down with those buttons under your thighs? LOL
If they bother me, I will remove them lol
Sweetheart if you only new how toxic that bleach is.
I appreciate that ❤

Just has to be pretty, not perfect lol🤗💖💖💖💖
heavy!! they keep falling down, should I take in more on the sides, or add elastic? suggestions pls..I love them so much!!
@@carmenmclaughlin6440 I would prob take more in on the sides😊
@@tmyershandmade978 ty!!!
wow what a difference, I took them in! not even heavy, anymore! lol! I love them, getting ready to bleach, mine are dark levis, w/ light pockets, so scary! lol...
