Convert Bootcut Jeans Into Skinny Jeans With Some Simple Alterations

Convert Bootcut Jeans Into Skinny Jeans With Some Simple Alterations

Everybody likes a good-fitting pair of jeans, but styles change. A few cuts and some basic sewing can help you transform a favourite pair of jeans in no time.

You could just get rid of the bootcut jeans you have and buy new ones, but Abby from the Sew Much Ado blog suggests you save your money and alter them instead. With Abby’s instructions you’ll be able to find a length you like and cut both legs down, undo the outer seams of each leg, and hem everything so it looks like new. Doing your own alterations can save you some serious cash, and if you don’t have a sewing machine, just ask around. You might even find someone who can help you out with the hemming. For a complete step-by-step guide, check out the link below.
