diy skinny jeans...

i have some boot leg pants...and i like my boot legs long. and these weren't super long.

so i decided to trim the inseam and make some skinny jeans...

cause-- i don't know about you--

but i can NOT find skinnyjeans i like.

they are either tooo skinny..

or just glorified stretch pants...

and here's a random fact about me..i have fat calves..so some skinnies i can't even get past my knees.....

so i love the idea of making your own!

(and mine are not too skinny)

i've decided that i don't mind modeling from the knee down....

i have no before shots...but these are very fitted...except for the flare...

so it's just a little adjustment..not a major overhaul!

i turned them right side in and put them on...then just pinched and pin the excess material so i don't make them toooo skinny.

and then i stitched..i started at the knee and then flared out gradually.....(i stitched three times just cause levi  is so heavy duty) then i trimmed off the excess...

i like doing it on the inside cause it's less noticeable.....

this is in front of my garage....

and ps. my neighbors think i'm crazzzzy!

or you can use THIS tutorial...that is for more drastic size change...

and you can go HERE to learn how to hem your jeans if they are too long...

or add a cute quilted look if the pants are too short...

or take in the side if you've got that bulge of material that sticks out when you bend over...

or what about a hole? fix it with a monster patch!

so no matter what your levi problem...there is a way to fix it...

and if not..

chop it up and make an apron!
