I've done that a number of times; rather crudely, simply having the legs cut and hemmed at the right length, and velcro sewed on to cinch. They don't hang as nicely as if the ends were tapered, but they look pretty good, this notwithstanding.
I cut mine long, so that I can cinch tightly just under knee and have ample material to "blouse" over the cinch -- this ensures no binding when I pedal, and also that I look like Tintin. I have 2 such pairs left, both made from good wool dress trousers, and am thinking of having the nearby tailor (just discovered) make the ends more elegant. I posted a photo of my most recent pair not too long ago, but can't access it now since on a secondary computer.
