Things You'll Need:
- Sewing machine!
-
Step 1
If you are anything like me I have very long legs and a small waist. I wear 28x38 pants. I have no problem fitting my waist it's just that the legs are always baggy. I dont like baggy!
-
Step 2
The first thing you have to do is set up your sewing machine. Use a heavy duty needle and thread. There are needles and thread just for sewing jeans. Turn your jeans inside out and you will see a rivet right beside the pocket. Thats where you want to start sewing.
-
Step 3
Make sure you dont hit the rivet. It will snap your needle. Sew straight down to the bottom of the pant leg. Dont be afraid to sew across the hem at the bottom. As log as you have your momentum up it will sew right through it.
-
Step 4
Try them on and if you need more adjustment just do it again. The good thing is that if you take them in too much you can take it out and start over. After a while you can get it right every time.
