How to Shrink Jeans??
73As asked in Requests: This MUST be a trick question!!??
To shrink jeans, first wash them in very hot water and then dry them in a very hot dryer.
To avoid shrinking jeans, first wash them in cold water, lightly tumble them on warm in the dryer, and then finish drying by hanging overnight.
To stretch jeans, first wash them in cold water, lightly tumble them on warm in the dryer, put them on slightly damp and dance around until they stretch to where you want them.
To dye jeans (or freshen their faded color), first wash them in cold water with no soap, then use a commercial dye like ProcionMx or Jacquard and soda ash, soak and aggitate for several hours, rince well in vinegar, hang in the shade to dry.
To fade jeans (or remove their new color) first wash them in cold water with extra soap, rinse them several times, hang in the sun for a couple of days.
To recycle jeans, companies like Liz Claiborne offer a $10 credit toward a new pair for retiring the old pair.
To donate jeans, most battered women's shelters will gratefully accept women's, men's and children's jeans.
And for an absolutely PERFECT fit, take jeans to the tailor!
Jeans, jeans, what would we do without our jeans??

Thank you again Angela for your comments!! Me neither!! I am more of the "wear them wet and dance around" or "buy them a size too big and take them to the tailor" kinda gal!! Blessings on your day!! Earth Angel!!
Back in my teens when I cared about such things, I used to have a really hot bath with my jeans on for a shrink fit! :)
That's a GREAT idea Ink!! Thanks for sharing!! Yes, I must admit I thought the question must be a "trick!!" Alas, it was not but posted by a young and skinny!! My "jean" issue is a tiny waist and endowed bootie!! So I buy jean BIG, shrink them as much as I can, and then take my jeans to the tailor for a custom fit!! I get a perfect fit that will not shrink again!! Ahhhhh, what would we do without our jeans!! Blessings on your day!! Earth Angel!!
Yes earth angel I am with you I need to buy the stretch ones more now so they grow with me.... its amazing how much better they fit like that. give and take a bit at least. Thanks
