I've never embroidered jeans before, but I was browsing Urban Threads and saw the tutorial about how to do pockets. I thought they had a really good idea about not unpicking the whole pocket. (Just leave a few stitches attached at the top.) The rest of the method looked a bit clumsy to me. I chose my design and stitched the built in baste on my machine onto stabiliser. I positioned the pocket over it and stitched it again.
To redo the top stitching, I picked an embroidery thread as close to the original as possible and wound some off onto a bobbin. I threaded the machine up with double thread and stitched the pocket back on (increasing the stitch size.) I used the rest of the double thread to shorten the legs.2 images:[1]

Looks great!
I love embroidering jeans. That's the way I have done pockets for eons and if you open the inner leg seam, you can embroider on them in the front leg, back leg or down the side.

Great tip Sue. Don't think I will be doing this for myself as it will make my large derrière look even bigger
