Jeans are a very practical leader, spread widely on a global scale, characterized by a very durable fabric, the denim, which can last for several years without showing special damages. By virtue of its long durability, can be very useful to know how to change the legs of the jeans in order to adapt to the new fashion or just to make them more responsive to our physical and our new size. In the next steps we see how to tighten the legs of our jeans, and avoid having to throw away and having to buy the other.

Before you begin, look carefully at your jeans, which generally contains a double inside seam and a single external. Intervene only on single sewing is much easier and therefore is advisable in the case in which it is not particularly expert. If, in addition to tighten the legs, we want to shorten the horse, you will need to intervene in the internal seams are double rooms.

Recovered everything you need, we must decide what we want to tighten our jeans. As a model we can use a pair of pants that sock it to the desired width, and simply superimposing the two legs of the pants (jeans to tighten should be placed in reverse), get the guidelines for implementing the change. Be very careful to match one of the two lateral ends of the two trousers (the external if action is taken on the inner or the inner if, vice versa, it will intervene on the outside) and the horse. Place pins along the line of overlap or draw a mark with chalk. Alternatively, we can wear jeans to change, and, possibly letting somebody help take measurements directly on ourselves, even in this case, by means of pins or with chalk.

Now, get thread and needle and move to strike, with the jeans still inside out, the line drawn. After basted the pants, you can wear it again to make sure it is the desired size. At this point you just have to pass the jeans under the sewing machine, starting from the top of the jeans, where there is still the original and continuing along the seam basting, taking care to use a Cotton as close as possible to the one used in your jeans. After sewing is finished, it will be possible, if necessary, cut the tissue that is in excess.
