This guide provides simple instructions for downsizing the width of pants. The steps have two parts: pinning and sewing. The included sewing techniques could be applied to many projects.

If the pants are more than six sizes too big, keep in mind that altering them might cause the loss of usable front pockets.

Before you begin, create a clutter-free space.

Minimal sewing experience is required.

    • Take the pants off. Sew the back seam, following your pins.

    • Put the pants on. Pin the rest of the inseam and the outside seam down both legs.

    • Our preference was to use the skinny jean cut. However, this sewing technique can be applied to any jean cut by simply adjusting the snugness of the fit as you pin.

    • If you prefer, iron your newly created seams so that they lay open.

Thank you for this! I have a pair I really like that are huge in the hip and butt. So is it best to pin and make them fit better using the inseam, or the outside seam?

Muy original y más fácil de lo que había visto. A pesar que me defiendo bastante bien con la costura, esto de cambiar de una talla XL a una S, no lo hice nunca en un short, así que gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.

para que no se deshilen los bordes hay que darle unas puntadas en forma de zig zag a todos los bordes que se cortan.
