Cant belive im gonna post this but - i need to adjust my Jeans - :blush:

In LENGTH you horrible swines. :@ oink

Seriously, i bought a really cool pair of jeans, wore them outside and got them mucky as they were a bit long on the lenght and they dragged under me trainers a wee bit.

So i canny take them back as they are used, and i want to adjust them slightly so that they sit up a bit further without looking like Alf Garnett.

Anyone know off a way - as im particular about these things, i would like to maintain the stiching at the bottom.

Any Ideas / shops / ways of doing this?

Ta.

Try your local dry cleaners, most of them offer some form of minor tailoring service.

Luckilly for me, I live near portsmouth, which has some encredibly talented tailors for the navy, I go to see an old chineese bloke called tailor lee, takes him about to minutes of procrastination to get my jeans adjusted

It depends on what is about you, but normally there is a shop in most places, that will offer some kind of service like this.

In *Glasgow Slaters (maybe expensive)
in *Clydebank there is a wee stall in a market that does this (not bad and cheep)
but to be honest, check your phone book or thomson local for a list of these services near you.

* I see you are from scotland But I don't know which area, so bear with me on these places

I forget its name (Web something or other), but you turn up the bottoms, apply this material and iron it in.

Yeah - the best bet is to go to a dry cleaners and tell them exactly the amount you want them taken up by - Wundaweb is ok but you will end up with a really thick hem which will never dry properly when you wash them!
Or - have you a girlfriend / Mum who will take them up for you? I have been known to do minor alterations like that - but you are just too far away!

Get yourself a sewing machine first as you will need one, if you intend to have a go yourself. Or as Chimera says, see if your Mum can help. Mum's know everything.
