I have a problem when it comes to skinny jeans. My legs are nowhere near atrophed enough. If I want my pants to fit in the legs, I sacrifice the fit in the waist. If I want my pants to fit in the waist, I feel like a stuffed sausage. I find this terribly annoying, I mean COME ON!! My legs are pretty small. I doubt I'm the only one with this problem. Or am I? I bought these PacSun jean leggings through Groupon at an insanely low price ($5? I'm in.). I was concerned that the fit was going to be a bit tight on my legs, but I ordered just as the size chart suggested. Sure, I fit in my jeans, but they weren't very comfortable. In fact, they're too loose in the waist & a bit too tight in the legs. I'm sure I could've taken them back for a bigger size, but unfortunately I had already ripped off the tags. Instead I decided to make them bigger & thankfully it worked! Here's how:

1. turn your jeans inside out - make sure there's at least one non-felled seam down your pants
2. sew along the inside edge of the surged seam
3. unpick the inner seam & remove any stray threads
4. launder & wear

This little tip will give you about 1/4-1/2 inch of extra leg room in each pant leg! Easy peasy! You just need to know how to sew in a (relatively) straight line. For best results, do this on a dark wash pair of jeans. If you do have lighter washed jeans & you want to cover up the unpicked line, you might want to try a tuxedo approach like these J brand skinnies (as seen on Taylor). See how you can't even tell that I added 1/2 inch of leg room in my pants? I know for sure I'll get a lot more use out of these ridiculously cheap jeans.
