I turned an old pair of flared jeans into skinnyjeans! I opened up the outer seams on the jeans and laid them flat on a table right sides facing.
Then I measured around my legs above the knee, below the knee and around the ankle, and drew on the measurements directly on the jeans legs.
Then I used a ruler to draw straight lines (where to sew) on both front and back pieces before simply pinning, then sewing.
I’m quite pleased with the result!
