You could use either. It just depends on the look you want. I made a pair for a costume party and used a psychedelic colored fabric and "ripped" the inner seam of my jeans and measured out enough fabric to give the flare I wanted and sewed it in. Hopefully that helps, I'm really having a hard time trying to explain!

THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWER!!!! how far up do you rip the seam? do you sew the fabric 2 the old seam? outside seam right?

- How far up you rip the seem all depends again on the look you're going for. I would say at least 7-10 inches up from the bottom of the pant leg. And then you want the fabric you are sewing in to "get wider" as it gets closer to the bottom. Sew the fabric into where you ripped the old seam on both sides making sure you reinforce at the top so the seam in the jeans doesn't continue to pull apart. And yes I said inside seam but I meant outside!
