  Hi to all,

  I’m new to this site .but I’ve got some tips maybe. I have changed existing trousers to ones that would fit me. I’m totally in love with skinny jeans and here’s how I do it. - First take a pair with a “clear” seam. Meaning with no pockets on the side. -Then wear it inside out -Thirdly this is a bit tricky to do on your own: start pinning the sides as tight as you like. Remember not to tight gals, because you want to be able to sit down, this is why a stretchy jeans might work a bit better for this purpose. -To get your calfs tight enough think of adding a zipper or buttons to close it tight on the ankles. -Then get out and even out the seams. -Then stich the thing and try again and adjust accordingly. -That should do the trick

  I’ll try to upload a picture of one of my finished jeans. Good luck with your skinnies
