I was looking for a good pair of deep blue skinny jeans the other day... but after looking for hours in stores, I gave up. Either they didn't have my size (XXL has become the new S), or the style (I only need ONE zipper in my jeans thank you), or the colour (I'm not sure flashy blue suits my skin tone). So I decided to make my own skinny jeans.
I already had a lot of jeans that I wasn't wearing anymore. They fit me perfectly but they were bootcut style. Following this method, I transformed three of my favourite old jeans:

into skinny jeans :) Now I get to wear my favourite old jeans again.

CAUTION: Sewing can be dangerous both physically (needle pricks) and mentally (those darn threads keep knotting up!!!) and requires a LOT of patience.
