How to refashion jeans into skinnies.

I have learned to embrace the skinny jean. It only took me a few years! And in fact with the right top they can be quite flattering on most body types.

I found these Seven for all Mankind jeans at the Goodwill Outlets store for $2, (whoo hoo) retail price $150! 

Only one problem.....

Yeah, what a shame right? 

But I knew I could refashion them and since they were far to long for me I could make them work. So here is how I refashioned them into skinny jeans.

I tried them on inside out and I pinned down the inside seam (CAREFULLY) tapering down to the bottom hem.

Then I (CAREFULLY) took them off and adjusted the pins into a nice line. 

Next I sewed them from crotch to hem, tapering down the leg.

Cut excess fabric.

   

Hem them to the length you perfer. I wanted the option to roll up the bottoms for summer, so mine hit my ankle. 

What do you think? This only took me 20 minutes in all!

Have a great weekend!
