i have two pairs of dark denim skinny jeans. but they both have holes in the same place: inner thigh. i should loose weight so this doesn't happen, true. but what can i do with these jeans?

they fit perfectly on the waist and length, which is difficult because i'm petite. so i want to make the most of them. not sure what to do because of the holes in rather embarassing places though!

any ideas?

make holes all over them, and sew a few/all of the holes up (including the holes on the inner thigh) to give the jeans a sort -of distressed look and disguise the original holes ...if that makes any sense :)

If you cut the holes in your jeans and roughen the edges up with sandpaper, they should look okay. There was a thread on here about ripping jeans but I can't seem to find it...
Also, I expect that patches would look good on the jeans :)

basically what nicole h says.
some more holes/rips, sew it uppp.
i was goin to say you could make shorts but it depends on how high the rip is.

I'm pretty skinny and I have holes in every pair of jeans I own
Fortunately my grandma knows this lady who knows how to repair them and you can't even tell they were there :)

you can put patches all over your jeans. i think that'd be cute.
or you can just get them repaired or something.
