How Can I Shrink A Pair Of Jeans?

I have a pair of jeans that I love, but have lost a little weight recently and find that they're too big now. I was wondering about washing them in a really hot wash to shrink them a bit??

    Jeans will only shrink one inch in the waist and two in the inseam regardless of what you do.  Other than that, alterations will have to do.

      You cut out a massive strip and sew them up again afterwards.  You are very lucky to have this problem as i have put on 6 stone in the last 2 months and none of my jeans fit anymore. =( unhappy grandpa.

      Thanks, but I don't consider it lucky as it's the result of a medical condition.

        Yes you can give it a try, i have gotten this to work by washing in very hot water, and drying them in hot dryer, over again, and again, several times before you try to wear them.

        I would try to wash them in hot water first and if that doesn't work then try cutting some off of them and sewing back together.

        I went on a website once and it said to do this :
        Fill your bathtub/sink with the hottest water you can get it . Put your jeans in there for around 20 minutes . Take them out and let them hang over the shower bar over night . The next day , after they are dry , try them on . (if they are not the size you want repeat the above] if they are the size you like and they fit you the way you want , wash them in HOT water and then dry them in the HOTTEST temperature . I dont know if it works but i'm trying it right now . I hope it works for both of us haha and good luck !
