1. The only real options are to hand stitch, which would be ridiculously monotonous or finding someone with a sewing machine to help you. You can get iron on hem shortening pieces but being that they're too baggy, its the inseam you have to work with. Honestly wouldn't take but a few minutes on a sewing machine if you can find someone who's got one.
2. Choices here involve the possibility of taking to someone else - cleaners come to mind, or fabric cement. Final alternative is needle and thread. Note - there is no undo, but you can pull out the stitches you inserted.
3. wash them on hot water
4. Eat at McDonald's three times a day for a month or so, your jeans will then fit much better, though you will probably be much fatter and more sluggish. LOL!!!
5. Try taking them to a tailor in your area. I've brought jeans in to a tailor before and they usually charge about $10 depending on how much you are actually altering them.
