Bell-bottom blue jeans were the rage when I was that age 'tween twelve and fourteen. With no money to spend on such foolish things, our lives wouldn't end without that latest trend. But we knew how to make do, and Mom didn't say no when we just split the seam of an outdated jean, sewed in a piece of colorful cloth from an old-fashioned frock, and felt groovy in our homemade bell-bottom blue jeans.

Oh my gosh. My mother did the same thing....she did her best despite having little discretionary money. Your poem brought a nostalgic smile to my face. Thank you!

It is what my sister and I did. We loved making the jeans.
