DIY: Turn your loose jeans into a skinny one

The perfect jeans are not easily found. Most of the times jeans are too long, too short, too tight, too loose etc. These are all tiny reasons which make you doubt about buying the jeans (of course; they are not worth that amount of money when they are not perfect...) But, from now on you can get rid of one problem: the loose jeans!

From now on: no more doubts about buying jeans that are a little loose!


You will need:
- Jeans :)
- Pins
- Sewing machine
- A pair of scissors

Step one:
Turn your jeans inside out

Step two:
Put on your jeans while they are inside out. This looks a little weird but it is easier to turn it beforehand, since the pins may fall out if you do it afterwards.

Step three:
Pin off one leg of your jeans at the parts where you think they should be tighter. Make sure that you leave a margin of approximately one centimetre.

Step four:
Take off your jeans again and pin off the other leg, just like the first one. You can do this easily by placing both legs of the jeans on each other. Do this carefully and identical!

Step five:
Stitch with the aid of the sewing machine alongside the pins and take care of enough margin again.

Step six:
Cut off the remaining parts outside the stitches and turn your jeans back.

You are now ready to wear your 'new' skinny jeans!

Enjoy!
