I really hate skinny jeans.... I prefer boot cut or bell bottom jeans! Sadly, it seems more and more difficult to find these in the shops. So... I found a pair of jeans I liked but they were skinny and I turned them into Bell bottom ones! Although it was the first time I did something like this. I followed my grandmother instructions and here they are! Thanks grandma!

You need to cut two triangles of fabric. You need to make the triangles before opening the leg.... but I forgot to take a picture so... sorry! The width of the bell depends on the jeans. In this case I only could made a medium-size bell... but If you do the same with a boot cut jeans the bell can be wider.
Once you have the triangles, open the leg. Obviously, you need to open the external part of the leg.
Take the triangles and attach them to the jean with pins. Don't forget to prepare the cuff of the fabric you are adding as well!
Then, stitch it temporarily and remove the pins.
In the picture you can see the result of the stitching process. Ready to sew it forever!
Sew it with the sewing machine. I think you can also do it by hand but you'll need a specific stich (I don't know which). I'm sure you can find more information on the internet.
And there go your bell bottom jeans!
