Jeans: Straight to Skinny

This little alteration technique has saved me loads of hastle in the past. I buy jeans which fit my bum and waist is any leg shape thats on sale.

I am not yet over my love of skinnies... Sorry bf jean fashion bloggers....
So I alter a straight or bootcut into skinny.

The key point here is to start high enough up. With this pair I started at the hip. Streach jeans give u a little extra flexibility if your seams are not perfectly straight or the line smooth.

Take a line from the hip running straight down to about 2 inch above the knee and then slowly tapering to the desired ankle width. (See arrows)

Then try on BEFORE you cut anything. And I try on one leg before I do the second just to check my line.

This is streatch denim but I used a regular sewing machine on a straight stitch. Make the stitch quite short to cope with the pull on the seams in skinny jeans.

All done! Easy
