How I put it together Customise Boyfriend Jeans

I can't make any excuses for my love of fashion and when I'm selecting an outfit I plan ahead in advance. Just in case you been wondering, I keep a look book of my own ideas.
For my outfit below, I wore a baby blue blazer, with a tribal Aztec inside vest top. The pants is my favourite Boyfriend jeans that I customised a little to suit my modest fashion. (SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO. ) I wore a beige wedge to add height to my petite body, but if you're a more shy person, you can top it off with a ballerina flats. This is a beautiful exquisite look that I pulled off.


 CUSTOMISE BOYFRIEND JEANS
I love the whole look of the boyfriend jeans, its baggy, fits right and looks awesome on any body type, but the distress effect with the holes can tamper with the modesty. So I decided to put my little sewing skills into good use with this semi creative look.
Please make sure and have a needle,thread, scissors, a notebook , brown cotton and measuring tape. 
A , I purchased some brown cotton from a fabric store
B, I measured the size of the holes and cut a horizontal long strip to suit. (Please make sure and leave an extra inch space so that when you bend your knees the seam will not burst)
C, I sewed from the inside of the jeans. Please do this part carefully so that it will not be visible on the right side. Note that you do not have to sew right around the brown cotton strip, but at each corner and outer centre of the strip.While you sew, ensure that there is extra room, therefore the covering will lap a little so that when you bend  your knees it will not burst away the thread.
D  After sewing the exposed 'hole' part, turn it on the right side and model your semi modest creation.
