Pegged jeans have been very popular recently. For the uninitiated, pegged just means tapered…but like excessively tapered.
In many cases, they are wide at the hips and taper toward the ankle to exaggerate the tapered look.

Fold the bottom seam up 1/2 inch and hold the fold with one hand and use your other hand to fold up the entire bottom seam. Try to make the fold the same height.
