It can be very problematic when you want to wear jeans, but it is too big or too small for you. You would need to alter the jean size because the better that your jeans fit you, the more comfortable it would be.

Jeans that fit well will also look good on you. These are some of the things that you can do:

• Altering jeans that are too big is easier because you simply need to check what your actual size is.

• You can take a measurement of your waist and inseam so that you can adjust it depending on your needs.

• Remember that the extra fabric will always be problematic, especially when it does not look good, so you can let your tailor know about it so that it will be altered according to your needs.

If in case your jeans are too small, the best thing that you can do is to get some cloth extenders that will allow you to expand some portions of your jeans.

There are times when you buy a pair of jeans from the store and they do not fit perfectly. If that is the case, there are ways to alter them so that they can fit.

To alter jeans, follow these steps:

• First, identify how much fabric should be removed from the waist.

• Then, take off the belt loop that is on the back of the pants.

• Next, seam a rip along the back waist. It should be in the middle of the jeans

• Turning the pants inside out, pin any excess fabric from the seam that is in the center.

• Sew a stitch from the top all the way to the bottom of the waist.

• Lastly, try on the pants to ensure they are altered properly.
