Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.77,0:02:00.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then made small chalk marks exactly in the\Ncentre of the pant legs, by measuring the

Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.43,0:02:21.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then using a pair of fabric scissors I chopped\Nout the fabric inside the rectangles.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.88,0:02:27.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then at the corner of each rectangle, I made\Nsmall slits like this at 45 degrees, each

Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.00,0:02:54.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I manipulated my jeans like this, to make\Nsure that I’d only be sewing through the
