Give straight leg jeans a wide berth

Have you found the perfect pair of jeans? Do they hug all the right curves, and sit on your hips just perfectly? Well great, then what are you complaining about? Probably the same thing as me, right? They are just way too tight around the ankles. What an absolute bummer!

Never fear, wikiHow is here with directions on how to cut jeans to make a wider leg. Grab some of your favorite pretty fabric, open the seam of the jeans, sew in the fabric, and you now have a stylin unique new pair of jeans that all your friends will be envious of and asking you how much you paid for them.

With the right fabric, and taking your time at the sewing machine, you'll wear your favorite jeans for years to come. In the off chance that you end up ruining the jeans, never fear, turn them into a pair of shorts that you can wear next summer.
