Things You'll Need:
- Safety pins

- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Scissors
-
Step 1
Turn your jeans inside out and put them on.
-
Step 2
Use safety pins to pin up the inner seam of the legs. Pull your jean legs out at the inner seams. Determine how narrow you want the legs to be and pin together the leg as far up as you want. Use safety pins because they stay in when you take the jeans off without stabbing you in the leg.
-
Step 3
Take the jeans off once both legs are pinned. Make sure you haven't pinned the legs so tightly that you can't get them off.
-
Step 4
Lay the jeans flat and replace the safety pins with straight pins, because safety pins are hard to sew over. Put all the straight pins you need in before removing any safety pins. This way you won't ruin the line you've already pinned.
-
Step 5
Use your sewing machine to sew a seam along the line of straight pins.
-
Step 6
Cut off the excess fabric, turn right side out and wear.
