I have always wanted to try this, but until now have I had the guts to do so.  I transformed a pair of my boot leg jeans into a pair of skinny leg jeans.  I wouldn’t necessarily say skinny jeans look great on me; however, I have learned that I can work with them to make a great outfit.  Below is a small tutorial on how to do it to your own pair of jeans!  I hope you enjoy!

Materials:

- Pins

- Disappearing Ink Marker

- Scissors

- Sewing Machine

Steps:

1. Put the jeans on inside out.

2. Sitting down, pin the jeans where you want the new hem line to be.

3.  Take off the jeans and place on a flat surface.

4. With disappearing ink marker, mark where the new hem line appears.

5. Using your sewing machine, sew a straight stitch on top of the marker line.

6. Now sew a zig zag stitch on the outside of the straight stitch.  This will decrease the chances of the jeans fraying.

7. Cut off an extra fabric.

Turn the jeans right side out and you are done!

Below are pictures of the step to help you complete this new project!
