Horse back riding is a very dangerous activity if you are not prepared. If you plan to go horse back riding, then you should wear the right outdoor clothes for it. For example, being a woman who loves horse back riding, you will be required to wear womens jodhpurs to make your ride a more enjoyable experience.

It is also a common knowledge that the said wear is not that easy to find. Since this is the case, more and more people are getting interested in sewing their own. 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.

First, you must look for an old pair of jeans that you can use for this. The old pair of jeans can be converted into this kind of trousers. When making a choice, you have to avoid those with a double seam. Do not choose those with the flat-felled seams as well. The trousers have to be comfortable around the waist and full around the thighs.

Pay attention to the materials you use in the trousers. When you choose, make sure that it is made enough of heavy material. You need to get enough weight and fullness, especially around your thigh area. If you do not make sure of this, then it will be impossible for you to obtain the look of those traditional horseback riding jeans.

Try the pair of jeans on. This is so that you can determine if it is of the right fit for you. When wearing them, make sure to do so with the wrong side out. Look for those areas where you need to make adjustments. Put marks on those areas on your pair of trousers to remind you of where you should sew or adjust.

Inspect the area around the knee. Make a mark on the bottom of the knee with a tailor's chalk. You should get someone's help in this task. Mark the bottom of the knee as a boundary since anything beneath that needs to be snug around the calves.

After marking it, remove the pants. Lay it flat on the table. Use the tailor's chalk once again to draw the shape that you want your pair of trousers to take. Take advantage of the knee markings to know where to taper. You should get both of the legs even. Give 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.
