    That sounds the best way Roma. The size is so bad on them! Unless my body is just badly proportioned! They are size 10, I am a 10, they fit like a 12 though in the waist and crotch area!
    They just slip off my ass haha

    There are lots of how-to's for re-sizing t-shirts here.

    Here is one you could try http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/3_cut_2_seam_super_simple_resize

    Thats a great how to, but doesn't help me, as I need to make the waist smaller.
    I don't know wether I will bother, it just seems too awkward. I'll probably fudge it up.

    My mother bought me a pair of jeans. They are too big in the stomach, ass area. It's like I have a big pouch! They fit fine on the legs.
    Does anyone have any advice on an easy way to make them fit me? I just don't want to mess them up!
    Thanks

    A friend is pregnant and she has asked if I could alter a pair of jeans for her, something like this
    http://www.tvolif.is/index.php?option=com_ahsshop&vara=1333&Itemid=26&sP=0 ,is what she has in mind.

    I think it looks doable, the only thing is, the jeans are ones she owns already and don't close entirely around her current belly.

    So does anyone know of the best way I could add the elastic, or know of any sites that have good alteration guides?

    Thanks Karen Happy
