Skinny jeans

From above, they still sit cool, but a flare on the bottom immediately gives an outdated model. Well, then, for your beloved trousers, the time has come for radical changes!

Ask someone to help you stab the right leg in the leg. And then insert into the side seams two zippers fastened with the bottom.

YOU WILL NEED Flared trousers, two metal zippers 20 cm long; scissors, knife-spreader, sewing thread, measuring tape; a marker with fading paint; pins.

HOW TO MAKE Put on your pants. Pin one leg from the knee with pins to the width that you want to leave (to the same width along the side and step seams). Then stab the bottom edge at the desired height. Marker pins on the front and back halves of the trousers.
Remove the pins and take off the pants.
Spread the hem, cut the lower edges at the desired height, add 4 cm to the hem.
Spread the side and step seams 5 cm above the highest mark. Open the open leg with the wrong side to the wrong side and transfer the new seam lines to the second leg. Add seam allowances, draw and trim the edges. Make a mark for the upper end of the zipper at a distance of 20 cm from the bottom edge line.
Chip off the new side seams and sew up to the cut mark under the zipper, while making sure that the transition from the old seam to the new one is smooth. Chip off the step seams and try on the pants again.
Now iron the cut allowances under the zipper.Iron allowances under them with a diagonal transition.
Under the cut allowances pin the braid of the zipper so that the cloves remain in sight, wrap the ends of the braid along the marked lower edge. Sew the edges of the cut onto the braid of the zipper 5 mm wide from the fold. Stitch side seams. Iron allowances on one side. Iron the bottom hem allowances, tuck them 3 cm wide and sew them together.
