By Arline Bradley


Any horse enthusiasts know the importance of wearing the right clothes when going horseback riding. Traditionally, the female riders will have to wear womens jodhpurs to be able to ride properly. They are tight around the calf area but full around the seat and thighs. They are usually white colored or cream colored.

Even if you are an enthusiast, you might still find it difficult to purchase this kind of outfit. After all, there are not much stores selling this. If you want to make sure that you have one to wear for the next time you go horse back riding, then you might want to just make your own. Here are the steps you can follow for that.

First, you should look into your wardrobe and check if you have any jeans you can use to convert in this kind of outfit. This will allow you to easily take care of the outfit without having to start from scratch. The pair of trousers you should pick should not have double seams or flat-felled seams. It should also be comfortable to wear.

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.

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 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.

Take out your sewing machine. The settings should be turned to the longest stitch. You have to sew the paints on its wrong side. If you do not do this, then other people will definitely see the stitches you made.

Try what you made. You have to check out yourself on the mirror too. Try to sit down or walk a few steps to see if you are really feeling comfortable with the outfit you have on. Once you are satisfied and you do not see any need for adjustments, sew the seams in place.
