    I have watched five or six of these videos and yours was the very best one! You spoke slowly enough that we could understand you, you were very clear in your verbal instructions, you showed us and explained what you were doing and I liked that we got to see them before and after results. And I love the cheese grater tip! I have been struggling to fray my jeans properly for ever, and you saved the day. Thank you!👏👌🤗

    Well, I watched it all...gave it a thumb' s up and still don't plan to distress my jeans. I love your haul videos from thrift stores and I think you are adorable, so I will be ready if anyone needs my help in turning perfectly fine jeans into beat up ones. My generational gap is showing.

    Pro tip from a 5’4 person, after cutting off the bottom however much you need, run the jeans through the wash and dryer, it comes out perfectly frayed!

    Just a suggestion, buy a white fabric pen for marking your cuts either while you're wearing them or when marking for shorts. They're cheap and will make it so much easier on you.

    If you cut a lot of clothes you might find that a rolling cutter will change your life, because they are so much easier than scissors

    Then take them to your Dads shop grinder! Hang on tight!
    Best rip was from our Lab Rocko…. Puppy tug on the back leg 😄😉
