I did this back in high school about 30 years ago with an old pair of Levi's my male cousin was going to throw out. I got so many compliments from ppl asking where I bought them! Great hack!
@@michelleschleis3095 My suggestion is to use the brown thread for denim, lay the seam down like she did and sew it flat very close to the seam, then sew again about a quarter inch from the seam so you get that double line of stitching.
EDIT w/ TIPS: I’d add only two things… (1) some folks might want to wait to adjust the length until all the other alterations are done since they’ll change how the pants hang and might end up too short (2) if the original pants are more than 1-2” too large at the waistband and seat, be aware that taking material out at the center back will move the side seams further and further back, so the pockets will be moving further back and the side seams might end up in a weird place, so don’t buy too oversized to start with I’m only a few minutes in and as a ‘professional seamstress’ wanted to say that as long as it doesn’t fall apart while you’re wearing it, there is no right way!! If it works for you, there’s no sewing police to tell you otherwise! Creativity is at the ❤️ of sewing - and paint splattering! First time here and excited to see what you actually do… 😁
I’ve been sewing for many years yet I couldn’t figure out how to alter pants and not lose the side pockets in the process. Thank you so much! Gotta run! I have so many of my pants to alter now!
@nujxad this was a comment from 2 years ago. There are tons of videos on UA-cam for comparison. Search for "hemming" or "tailoring pants" or anything that you need done. You can find real seamstress' easily.
OMG!! LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!! Needed this tutorial so badly. Have seen others but your way is the smartest and most effective so thank you thank you! Lost about 1/2 my body weight and hoped to be able to just alter my clothes to fit my new size. New to DIY and sewing. Am in love with upcycling what I already have. Now I can save my coins for cute shoes!😁🤩
THANK YOU! I work in IT and I'm always stuck trying to find pants that look business casual but femme with practicality like cargo pockets. This may be exactly what I needed! A lot of my office wears khakis but as a pear shaped lady that is a recipe for panty lines and, as the IT grunt, a lot of stains from crawling around on floors and wiring closets. Tailoring a good pair of cargos might just be my holy grail of pants. THANK YOU!
Fun! I remember getting pants altered "quick and dirty" by the ladies in the back of the army/navy store. They could cut pants down quickly and for low cost. Sadly, they are long gone. Glad you're here with this tip!
You make perfect sense when you explain what you're doing. If I can follow you, anyone can, and that's more impressive than your sewing skills lol! Great hack to know for when I want something that isn't available in my size. Very cute styling ideas too. I would wear them all.
You are wonderfully creative!! I sewn all my life and appreciate anyone that does - I’m also in to all things DIY. Great hip styling ideas. Never too old to inject something new and fresh into our wardrobe (I’m 72!). Thank you for sharing. I’m a huge fan.
You may not be a seamstress but you are an engineer, a natural talent at that. You have a strong feeling for how things work together in 3D. I'm so glad and thankful that you share that with us. I will use this! (being small waisted with hips and tiny legs)
Oh my gosh!! I have been tapering my pants and just sewing up the sides. Thank you for this tutorial. It makes so much sense and it takes the same amount of time but actually ensures a beautiful fit.
You are seriously the best ! I’m 60 and learn so many fun and practical things from you . Been subscribed for years ! The iridescent top is fab - yes too cropped but almost perfect . Bet you could add a sheer layer to camouflage the open space . Love the way you made grunge go professional. I’m a realtor and comfort is key but so is style and this is fabulous.
Lol. You sew and shape just like I do! :) Love it. They look great on you. My mum has formally studied tailoring and freaks out whenever she sees my methods, plus the fact that they still work. V liberating that you're passing on these skills in your videos so that women get into reshaping clothes. One thing I'd add is make sure you use a denim needle for these tough fabrics, so your machine lasts longer :)
Orly, I am so glad I started following you on Instagram after H&F ended - I loved your segments on there too. I was shocked when you showed this hack on IG stories. I have been sewing forever and have never thought about doing that. Now I want to go thrift shopping and find a pair of pants that are loose in the legs so I can try it. Great job!
Yessss!!! Thank you Jesus! You are so clearly very competent!! I’m going through a major weight-loss journey, I’ve got not interest in spending more money and time shopping because I love the items I have. Plus I’ve always wanted to learn how to sew and alter! This channel is perfect for meeeee. Thanks for posting!
Best one yet.....I loved the simplicity of the hack and the wide variety of styling that you showed.....each outfit got better and better....and the one with the trench coat ....boom 💥
jeeeeezzzzeeeee okay, you gave me the confidence to just order big on a few pieces , and fix them where I know where I need to fix them. I have a smaller waist and bigger bottom, so it fits in the hips and I know im going to be swimming in the waist, im excited !!! so thank you so much!!!!!
🤗rly, I'm not the least bit angry at this hack... My profession was design through to complete pattern & garment making... You are giving tips that help develop this ability in your community... Custom Clothing in the era of fast fashions is a "Very Good Thing" 😘💕
I luv a good hack Orly. And you accomplished it. I have taken in my pants in a similar way for years but I usually just take in 1 size, no more than 2 and don't cut the fabric off (unless it's denim). I just pin the inseam and kinda sew in a U shape from cuff to cuff..., iron + I'm done. However I have never taken weight out of the back. That was ingenius to me. I love the idea of cutting the seam away, it saves so much time if u can spare the fabric. I may never rip a seam again... Lol So glad I watched, you may have just inspired me back to my machine 🤔 Thanks! 😊
Orly, you are a genius! I just tapered the legs below the crotch seam. I never thought to cut the whole inseam off and adjust the rise of pants too. This is brilliant! So glad I didn't toss all my old clothes, I can't wait to sew another pair of my old jeans.
I love the cigarette leg pants and I never knew you are supposed to cut off the entire inseam! This is a great hack Orly and one that can will come into a lot of use. Thank you!
So happy I just stopped by today! I have 4 pairs of jeans that I've been putting off for at least six months! Now, with this little nugget, I will be sure to get them done this weekend!!! Thanks 😉😊👍
Love the styling portion of the video! Also can you do a tapering video for skirts? I have some knit a-line skirts that are a size to big… also how to replace an elastic waistband on a skirt and/or lounge pants?… Thanks 😊 Love these tailoring videos!!
I can’t wait to try this! I have seen so many inadequate tutorials that simply run a tapered seam up the inseam which makes a weird, amateur-looking rolling of the final seam result. I am a crusty, old, self-taught sewer, so I speak your sewing language, but I would suggest using less technical terms like crotch seam instead of “rise” and perhaps briefly putting garment on wrong side out to orient the viewer about why you do what you do??? Love everything about your style/attitude/tempo, and really approachable videos!
I hope this works!! I've recently lost a bit of weight, therfore my pants are swimming on me! But I'm cheap so....I needed this refresher on tailoring my pants!! I will give it a go! I haven't sewn in quite a while, sadly. But am going to start with this much needed fix!! Thank you!!
Gosh, I made a little bit of money narrowing legs for others in the early 80 while I was in college, when pants legs became narrow. I had gotten the instruction from a teen magazine, but it did not require that you cut open the whole pants but to sew up the leg making opening narrow and stitch should meet up with existing seam in thigh area. This pretty cool, instruction for bring up the crotch on pants, because I love thrifting men trousers, but the crotch can be a total drop look. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
I actually did this like 2 weeks ago on a pair of pants!! I came up with the idea on my own. Can't believe this is actually the right way to make too big pants the right size! I did it this way because the other (outer) parts had nice trim I didn't want to touch!!
Love, love, love what you did! I’ve been waiting for your tips on how to taper/resize pants. You’re so helpful and inspiring, oh and fun! thank you 🙏 💖
Love. Love. Love. Thank you for showing this hack! I have to alter EVERYthing because I am 5'0' tall...sleeves, pants, hems and more. As a result, when I cut 2" from a sleeve or 4" from a pant or skirt, they need to be re-tapered so as not to appear "chopped" or too wide at the finished length. I've been blundering around and managing the taper myself, but this makes it so much easier--it's a wonderful, easy, method!
Your styling was great. Loved the camo desert pants. I do sew and that double seam is actually made wrong sides together & folded over, it's a lot of work & called a flat felled seam. Your hack is a perfect faux flat felled!!!! I'm impressed!!!
Wow...this makes me so much less intimidated to do something like this. You make it look so easy...or at least easier than I would think something like this would be. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Just the video I needed. I recently lost 27 pounds so almost all my jeans need to be taken in. Most of those pants are brand new and never been worn, so I hated the thought of just giving them away. Looks like I’ll be remodeling them instead, wish me luck! Thanks for sharing!
you are so inspiring.. I go right to my sewing table immediately after watching any one of your videos.. I just want to sew! I love that tiny iron you have and have searched for one like it...would you please tell me the make of yours.... thank you so much...
Love it!!!! They look great on you, they actually look cute folded. Thank you for giving us an option to taper them and take them in!! Some are complicated for me and you made it easier!! ❤ Thank you. Blessing!!!
I love this video and your energy! I just started sewing and this gave me the information needed to try and adjust some pants and this jumpsuit I have that is too big.
For one you look fabulous! And I am like you, I prefer to keep it simple and effective. I have lost a lot of weight and I have come down three sizes. And before I start making new pants, I wanted to adjust the ones I have already sewn. You just help me out greatly. Awesome, thank you!
Thank you so much. This was super helpful and easy. i bought some pants from Figs and would prefer to sew and adjust it rather than send it back and wait to order another pair 😊
I'm a seamstress working from home and always check out videos for new tips and ideas to make my job easier and improve where I can I am getting really busy. So if i can find a way to get thing done faster I will. Love your video and love the tips. Thank you
OMGoodness this is super helpful! I do sew and I’ve tried the “seamstress” way to take in pants and inseams… and it never works out for me- this makes so much more sense! THANKS SO MUCH
Love, love, love what you just did. Both the tapering and styling. Thanks so much for sharing this hack. You are saving me ton by showing me how to taper my pants! No need to pay someone to alter my pants! I just wear my pants that don’t fit me right to sabe on alteration cost. Thanks so much and God bless.❤️
OMG! I bought some leather joggers today reduced from NZ $110 to $20…but too big. I’ve never thought to alter this way!!! Thank you! Magic that this vid came up and I wasn’t even searching 😁😁😁😁
I love how you brave to completely cut out the entire seam & alter it to your fitting this was awesome! Now I won’t be so afraid to cut up & alter some pants that I have. I had to subscribe thanks for sharing! 😊
You are awesome! I love your attitude, honesty, efficient and creative ways and options you give. Whether good or bad, you show them and let us decide what works for ourselves. It’s all about the options! 😉💕
I did this back in high school about 30 years ago with an old pair of Levi's my male cousin was going to throw out. I got so many compliments from ppl asking where I bought them! Great hack!
That is awesome!
How would I tailor the seat on Levi's to get the same Levi's seam look? Any help is appreciated. 😊
@@michelleschleis3095 My suggestion is to use the brown thread for denim, lay the seam down like she did and sew it flat very close to the seam, then sew again about a quarter inch from the seam so you get that double line of stitching.
I’ve been sewing for 50+ years and looove and teach shortcuts. Great video 👍
aw thank you! I appreciate that!
Ditto 50 yrs sewing and teaching, and I love how other people approach sewing challenges!

I'm a professional seamstress. My philosophy is whatever gets the job done. If you like it, I love it. I'm not mad at your technique.
Do you have a link to how a seamstress would do it just for comparison ?
@nujxad this was a comment from 2 years ago. There are tons of videos on UA-cam for comparison. Search for "hemming" or "tailoring pants" or anything that you need done. You can find real seamstress' easily.
Oh... This has me remembering all if the super oversized combat pants I wore in the nineties, and how I wish I knew this hack!
OMG!! LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!! Needed this tutorial so badly. Have seen others but your way is the smartest and most effective so thank you thank you! Lost about 1/2 my body weight and hoped to be able to just alter my clothes to fit my new size. New to DIY and sewing. Am in love with upcycling what I already have.

THANK YOU!
I work in IT and I'm always stuck trying to find pants that look business casual but femme with practicality like cargo pockets. This may be exactly what I needed!
A lot of my office wears khakis but as a pear shaped lady that is a recipe for panty lines and, as the IT grunt, a lot of stains from crawling around on floors and wiring closets.
Tailoring a good pair of cargos might just be my holy grail of pants. THANK YOU!
I'm a grandmother but you mesmerise me. You have great ideas and have a charming way of showing how to do them.
Fun! I remember getting pants altered "quick and dirty" by the ladies in the back of the army/navy store. They could cut pants down quickly and for low cost. Sadly, they are long gone. Glad you're here with this tip!
10 outta 10! Thank you ! The styling at the end is my favorite part!
This is great advice! I bought cargo pants for work that are too wide on the leg and this solves my problem. Thank you!
Love the idea. Spent 10 hrs wearing camouflage daily so I tend to stay away now 😆. Those lite ones are 90’s era Desert camouflage( not faded woodland)
My daughter would say the same! 😂😂
Thanks for your service ❤️
haha I can't imagine. But just apply these technique to any pants that you want to taper a bit. Jeans, trousers, etc.
You make perfect sense when you explain what you're doing. If I can follow you, anyone can, and that's more impressive than your sewing skills lol! Great hack to know for when I want something that isn't available in my size. Very cute styling ideas too. I would wear them all.

You have saved me so much money. I have Lost over 60 pounds and have beautiful jeans and know I can alter them. Thank you
Orly, it's a great day when you find someone with practical creative ideas with fabric and clothing, AND it's such a fluent presentation. Thank you!
I’ve watched three or four other videos on this process and yours is by far my favorite! You make this look so easy BRB going to fix my pants
Oh my gosh!! I have been tapering my pants and just sewing up the sides. Thank you for this tutorial. It makes so much sense and it takes the same amount of time but actually ensures a beautiful fit.

The pants look amazing.

Wow, this was so helpful! I've always tried to taper from the outside seam, and well...
no bueno! Thanks, Orly!!
I sew everything from drapery to clothing. This is the best hack for tailoring pants that I have ever seen. Thanks!!!!!
Mind blown! Love that styling!
Dude...I was just wondering how to tackle this situation!! Thanks for the vid. Most helpful. Every look is rockin!!

Very inspiring! Makes me want to run out right now to look for some to taper and alter.
Once again , you knocked it out the part🌟🌟🌟
thanks Orly! been sewing for over 50+ years and have used this technique in the past -- it is great!
Okay that sequin crop with the camo pants is AHmazing!!
Omg yes I've been waiting for this vid all my life! I have some many trousers to take in and dint want to kill the wait band, Thankyou.
LOVE the pale green silk top with the faded camos. Fab combo!

I sew all the time and honestly, I think this is the best hack I've seen yet. You did an amazing job. Well done you.
Wow, loved it all, Orly you are the best !!
Wow...this makes me so much less intimidated to do something like this. You make it look so easy...or at least easier than I would think something like this would be. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Yes!! that's my goal! Things don't always have to be done "properly" in order to work really well. It's a great way to learn
I love what you showed me! GASP! What a Hack! I love!!!! Thank you!! ✌🏻
The glitter is so fun
A *TRUE* hack, thank you! For those of us who would not wear camo....the pale greenish pair is a great way to integrate camo into a wardrobe.
Omg I love this my GMA is giving me a sewing machine and I have really thin legs so most jeans are baggy I can't wait to try this out!
Just the video I needed. I recently lost 27 pounds so almost all my jeans need to be taken in. Most of those pants are brand new and never been worn, so I hated the thought of just giving them away. Looks like I’ll be remodeling them instead, wish me luck! Thanks for sharing!
This is perhaps the most useful video I’ve seen - my shape requires this type of alteration that I usually get a tailor to do!
I am so happy to hear this!!!
This was such a great tutorial. I love you showed us how to wear them at work!
haha yes! I wear my camps everywhere. my favorite!
Wow, both the light colored and the blue pants are SO awesome on you! All the styling outfits were great. This video is so valuable. Thank you Orly.
you are so inspiring.. I go right to my sewing table immediately after watching any one of your videos.. I just want to sew! I love that tiny iron you have and have searched for one like it...would you please tell me the make of yours.... thank you so much...
cool. used to wear these a lot.. especially nice when the fabric is so worn and soft.
Love it!!!! They look great on you, they actually look cute folded. Thank you for giving us an option to taper them and take them in!! Some are complicated for me and you made it easier!! ❤ Thank you. Blessing!!!
I love this video and your energy! I just started sewing and this gave me the information needed to try and adjust some pants and this jumpsuit I have that is too big.
Awesome. You look beautiful in anything ❤️❤️
Loving your vlogs. So glad I found you.
I have been sewing for years and I actually learned something new thanks
GREAT JOB!!! I just learned something! Thanks for sharing!
Orly you rock! Thanks for the tip!
Great 👌 video. I just lost some weight but I'm not ready yet to invest in a new wardrobe. This hack is very useful
congratulations ! I'm so glad it will help!
So great thanks Orly!
Epic Orly!.. I have a stack of loose pants .. I needed this... ( I will try with mens trousers too... they are so much nicer cut than ladies)
I use my Cricut iron for SO many sewing projects once I got it.... the best tool!!!
For one you look fabulous! And I am like you, I prefer to keep it simple and effective. I have lost a lot of weight and I have come down three sizes. And before I start making new pants, I wanted to adjust the ones I have already sewn. You just help me out greatly. Awesome, thank you!
You are such a nice size. You have a great fashion sense and style. I love all the looks. That sparkly top is so nice too!
Thank you so much for this!!! I have some pants that I want to adjust and this video is perfect. You always come to my DIY rescue. Thank you so much!!
I love this! And I love that you show all the style options!
They look amazing. That top stitching is close to a flat felled seam, looked great. LOVE them. PS, you could make a potato sack look good.
Thank you! This hack is so easy and definitely works. I have been wanting to alter some pants like those for a while!😄❤
meant to be :)
BONKERS!! I just followed these instructions for a pair of GIANT pants that have been sitting in the donation bag. Great video. Thanks so much!
Love this hack! You are amazing!
Thank you so much. This was super helpful and easy. i bought some pants from Figs and would prefer to sew and adjust it rather than send it back and wait to order another pair 😊
One of the best videos! I love the hack!
Excited to try this with some slouchy pants that I would never wear but love the fabric for
Perfect video for me today as I was wondering how to taper trousers and now I know how to do it x
I'm so glad!! it was meant to be :)
Nice job. Very inspiring.
This hack is fanTAStic! Have some vintage cargos I've been wanting to do exactly this to...but you made it so SO much easier. Bravo!👏👏👏
I wish I could find more tutorials that do it like this
