Hi everyone, If you downloaded our Classic Jeans Pattern, or our Skinny Jeans Pattern, or even our Shorts Pattern, and if you want to distress or destroy them, here is a nice tutorial. This works the same for 18 inch doll clothes as it does adult clothes…. Ps. Don’t forget to download all our free patterns too!

And, 2) obviously if you do this wrong, you will ruin your clothes.
