How to Alter Your Flared Pants into Straight Pants 👖

Koala Sewing

That is a quick and easy way to slim the pants leg width and make the straight ones from boot-cut or flare pants. Along the way, I shorten my pants and hem them with a blind stitch. The raw edges are best finished with a serger. But if you don't have one, don't stop your project. You could use the tightest zig-zag stitch of your sewing machine.
And as for my pants, they got a new life 😉

I bought a pair of jeans recently because the fit at the waist was great & I have a hard time finding good-fitting jeans. But the bottoms were crazy flared & too long! I'm so glad I saw this great tutorial! I really like how you take your time & explain everything slowly. I'm a novice sewer, but this looks like something I could do. I will try this on my next weekend off. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you so much, I have two pair of pants I need to alter, I wasn’t sure on how to go about it. Now I know, I’ll follow your method. 😉✅

I know is a very old video, but thank you so much! It's really clear-I've lost loads of weight recently and don't want to buy anything new until I've reached my goal, so I'm buying from thrift stores and adjusting everything as needed, its been a bit of of a learning curve but your videos really help.

Oh my goodness THANK YOU for making this video! There is a pair of jeans I've wanted for a while but the only thing is, the flare is a bit too big for my liking but now I know that is not a problem! I am so happy! Again, thank you!

Great video, thank you. But what if one of the seams on the leg side is over-lapped? Can't just sew straight down.....

thank you! I figured that the process was something like this, but I'm happy to see someone explain it to me because I am new to tailoring. I bought a vintage suit that I didn't know had flared pants, and I want to make them straight cut. hoping that I can maybe keep the original flare in the pants but hide it. we'll see!
