Hey people! This is Liz from cotton & curls and I'm going share with you my most favorite refashion ever! Making jeans, trousers, or what have you into skinny jeans. This is one of the best tricks to know because it will open up a whole new wardrobe of pants for you!

You don't have to sew the crotch part if you like how it fits up there, just start from the knee of inner thigh if you just want to decrease the flare. When you want to make pants a smaller size, tighter on the tush, or more low rise, then the taking some fabric out from under the zipper is the way to go! Check out the last picture, the one of the crotch close up (sorry for that), shows this specifically. Then after all this...cut, serge (optional), and iron!

Need a little more help figuring this out? Here is the video on how to alter pants into skinnies or bell bottoms!
