Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓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.

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?
Thank you, I used your guide for my first time fitting pants; it was absolutely helpful!
para que no se deshilen los bordes hay que darle unas puntadas en forma de zig zag a todos los bordes que se cortan.
This guide is super helpful for resizing pants! Clear steps and easy-to-follow instructions. Thanks!
