  Step 1

  What you will need:
  A pair of denim or pants that are a couple of inches too long
  Two zipper strips, mine were made for denim, about $2.50 each
  Sewing machine
  Pins
  Scissors
  A small ruler for measuring
  A fabric marking pencil

• 

  Step 2

  Line up the zipper to the bottom edge of your pants in the center. Make a mark using the fabric pencil just where the end of the actual zipper is and not the extra fabric trim.

• 

  Step 3

  With a small ruler, measure vertically down and draw a straight line.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut straight up the line with a pair of scissors.

• 

  Step 5

  Line the zipper under the pant slit as shown. Center the zipper to the cut.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut a small slit horizontally, about a few millimeters. This depends on the width of the zipper you've purchased.

• 

  Step 7

  Fold the edge inward from the horizontal cut. Align it vertically straight to the zipper and pin it down. Repeat this on the other side.

• 

  Step 8

  Place under the sewing machine, and sew the zipper along the pinned section.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut the excess zipper trim at the end.
  Repeat on the other pant leg.

• 

  Step 10

  All done and ready to wear!!!

  TIP - If you don't like the front zip look, feel free to try this same technique to the side seam or the back of the pant legs!
