  Step 1

  First, put your pants on inside out. Button them & make sure they're sitting on your body where they would normally.

• 

  Step 2

  Pin along the sides of your legs. Start pinning at the point where your jeans start to flare (mine was at the knees). If you're having trouble, find a friend you trust (those pins are sharp!) to help you out. Don't pin too close to your legs as you'll need about a 1/2 inch slack so you can actually put these jeans on when you're done. If your jeans are a stretchy material, you can pin them closer to your body.

  Next, take your pants off CAREFULLY. I cannot stress this enough. I may or many not have gotten a pin in my leg during this step.

  Step 3

  Keeping them inside out, take your pants to the sewing machine & sew along your pin line. Start at the bottom of your jeans & work your way up.

• 

  Step 4

  Your pin line should taper into the natural hem line of the jeans. Take the seam all the way into the natural hem line, merging the two.

  After you've sewn both sides of each leg, turn your jeans right side out & try them on. Make sure they look right before moving on to the next step! If you see any puckering this means your sewn line may not be straight enough. Go over the sewn line again & make adjustments if needed.

  Step 5

  With your jeans turned inside out, trim off the excess fabric.

  Step 6

  Finally, jump for joy in your new skinnys!
