i love skinny jeans
great idea :]

16 Jan 17:30

Wow this is a great idea and much cheaper than buying.

16 Jan 18:10

It's good if you can get Jeans with a little stretch in 'em before you sew in my experience.

Awsome tutorial :3

16 Jan 23:22

i've made these before. they totally rock.

17 Jan 20:44

I don't get instruction numbers 2 and 3...

O___o

18 Jan 12:17

I am attacking my jeans as soon as i get home. =D

22 Jan 23:55

mm heck yesssss..this makes me wanna sew more jeanss. butt im too lazyy blehhhhh. =]

25 Jan 01:30

Thanks so much! I just did this on a pair of my jeans today and it worked very well. :D

25 Jan 15:56

YES!
Finally - buy for your own hips and waist and do the alter yourself. Even the skinny jeans in Canada aren't meant for size 12s!

28 Jan 01:23

Freakin great tutorial. I was wondering how to modify non-skinny pants into skinny pants but was too nervous to try messing with it on my own.

18 Apr 23:54

21 Apr 03:02

this is way smart and who ever came up with this idea is a genius

19 May 19:39

This is fantastic !
I can finally tailor some of my baggier jeans now, thanks !

17 Jun 01:49

awesome idea
just did them last night and my "new" jeans look great for the cost of pretty much $0!
one tip though, from my mum lol, when you cut off the excess jeans, in part 7, you might as well sow together the little excess flanges together using one of your special binding stitching patterns on your sowing machine, that way it makes the inside of your jeans more comfortable and will prevent those flanges from fraying
but other than that, thanks so much! i have new jeans!

05 Jul 18:31

great idea i love it! im gonna try that one day =)

12 Aug 03:51

Thats awesome! I've got to do that when I get my sewing machine [I would have hand sewn that a few years ago... but now... I am TOTALLY not that focused :D] and thanks for the tut. I've been looking for some white skinny jeans to tie dye, but I can just get some old baggy white jeans ! :D

22 Aug 18:21

I love skinny jeans but I just got a pair thats baggy on me.
I know what I'm going to do :]

26 Aug 03:57

:D

22 Nov 18:12

this was awesome, i usually cant find jeans my legnth
( 5ft11)
so this was a awesome idea:)

23 Nov 14:58

:DDDD

02 Dec 02:52

thanks for the great idea!!

18 Jan 16:06

this is realy cool :D
i tried this and
did this with 3 pair of my jeans

24 Jan 19:45

I tried it and as a novice it was sooo easy and fast! I messed up on the left leg (my foot wouldnt go all the way through because I have some big feet -eyeroll- but it took 55 mins (timed).

Tip:I found that it was good if I sat down and used pins to test the comfortability and I hope that others would think to do that because they could look great and feel great when you're standing but sitting could be a #&*@! if you arent thinking about these things :D

10 thumbs up! 5 stars!

25 Jan 20:42

Update: Okay, I'm a boy--rough and tumble boy who happens to like sewing. Anyway, I ripped the pants in several places because we started jumping around on coaches and whatnot... But I'm going to redo them with JEANS as they were intended. But I found out that you can use the skinnies as a stencil for the new jeans.

29 Mar 16:11

really awesome :)
i just have this bad luck of measuring things wrong and i am too worried about ruining a pair of jeans X0

05 Apr 04:53

absulutly(i think thats how you spell it)loved it!!!it worls up shizzzzz:DD

13 Apr 21:08

i have so many jeans that are so ugly now i can fix them ya!!

09 Jul 17:59

i've been looking for something like this! thanks! :D

24 Aug 20:46

wow. i REALLY screwed these up. i sewd on the outseam. oops. well i didnt like those jeans anyways.

16 Sep 21:33

AwesomeNESS! ;D I did it after a couple of tries! make SURE you sew all the way up to the crotch area, otherwise you will have a bump where you finished sewing (halfway up the leg).

So glad this project is on here because i have a bunch of bell-bottoms in the bottom of my closet lol!

05 Oct 20:54

I think I need to learn how to sow first lol.. I kinda destroid my pants lol. They were old pants though that I havent worn in years lol.. So.. yeah,, And not my mom needs to fix her machine lol.. Oooppsy !! I'll try in another time.. :] Thanks anyway !

27 Nov 01:51

Okay question. I just did this to a pair of my black jeans and they turned out great :] I didn't use a sowing machine and you couldn't see where I hemmed it. I'm just wondering, if I hand sow on a pair of white pants will the thread show?

:]
