It is actually possible to make one, as long as the person has a sewing machine. Here are some of the simple steps that you can follow if you are thinking of sewing your own pair of trousers for horseback riding.

    The first thing to do is to find a pair of trousers that you want, and can, convert into this. You have some types of pants to avoid when you are looking for a good pair of trousers. Those with double seams and flat-felled seams should not be used in this project. The pair of trousers you should use is that with a comfortable fit around your waist, with a fullness around the thigh.

    Before you do anything to the jeans, inspect its material. It is better for you to pick the jeans that are made out of heavy materials since they have enough fullness and weight for horse back riding.

    The next you have to do is to try on the said pair of trousers. Determine how fit it will be for you, after all. It is also the best way to identify and mark the adjustments that you will have to do. If you can, you should try them on the wrong side out. This way, you can mark the pair of trousers easily.

    The area around the knee is the most important part you have to scrutinize. Put a mark on that area, since it will become the starting point of where you will make adjustments to make it more snug to the calves. You should ask someone's assistance in this part of the task.

    After finishing up with the marking, remove your pants and just lay it flat on your working table. Using your tailor's chalk, make a shape that you want the pair of paints to take. The knee markings should tell you exactly where you should taper. The legs should be created evenly. There should also be an allowance for the seams.

    Get the sewing machine. The setting of the sewing machine should be set to its longest stitch. You have to be sure that you are sewing with your machine basting along the marked lines. Sew on the wrong side so that the stitches are hidden from other people's view.

    Try the trousers. You have to examine it if it really fits you. Also, you have to look at yourself in the mirror while wearing the pair of jeans to be sure that it looks good on you. Make adjustments if you are uncomfortable, especially when you try to sit down while wearing the said pair of jeans.
