Shiro Senpie I felt dat
🤣

LMAO I WASTED MY 1 JEANS JUST TO GET LOST💀
Ok to anyone confused
1.try on jeans put them on inside out pinch and pin evenly on both sides
2. Mark your new seams and cut
3. Seam rip a little off the waistband to make it easier to ease the new seam into it
4. Match the waistband right sides together and sew
5. Finish raw edges with zigzag stitch or serger
6. Sew up the new seam easing it into the new waistband
7. Top stitch the waistband
Try on new Jean's and do a happy dance
*Mic drop*
Thank you. The real MVP. Still confused though 🤣 I need to see the processssss and hear talking
Can I take them down from a 10 to a 2 ?
Nancy Stevenson if you’re good enough at sewing then go for it
why do u have to match the waistband
Nancy Stevenson i’m 13 and i took in a pair of men’s jeans to fit my waist! i’m quite small :)
I’m pretty tall for my age, so when I buy pants that fit my legs they’re too big on my waist, but if I buy pants that fit my waist they’re too short.
So this tutorial was made for you! 😍 I hope you make it and finally wear those jeans ! Thank you very much for watch this video! 💖
I've had trouble with that too, but had some success with Levi's
Usually I buy my jeans off of asos since they have "unusual" sizes and a tall section. I need my inseam to be 36" and my waist to be 29" so I feel your pain :)
Story of my prepubescent life! Luckily you have UA-cam to help, I wish I did back then lol
same problem
No one:
Her: pulls out scissors, ruler, and chalk

I got these gorgeous men's dark denim jeans from the thrift store a while back. They were pretty huge, considering I could fit my entire arm as well as my body in them, but I just tightened the waist with a belt and wore them anyway. I was a bit scared that I was going to ruin my jeans, but followed your tutorial anyway, and sewed everything by hand, and they came out amazing! They fit me perfectly now and I'm kind of mad I didn't do it earlier. Thank you!
Габриела Николова omgg!! I’m so so happy to hear that !! Thank you so much for watching 😍💖
Hi, I'm just now watching this video and i was wondering how long did it take you to sew them by hand and what size needle did you use?
I already know I’ll mess this up with no sewing machine...
Maya fair enough
@@paigebeach8391 you've got this. Don't listen to the hate 😂! Thick ass needle a pair of pliers - and about two hours you're good ✌️
Karma Seven 😂😂😂 same
@@dudekniesamowite6966 so you're telling me I can do this without sewing machine
Girls, just make sure you can do a squat or sit propperly before cut and sew, even if your jeans are a bit stretch.
i really wish she talked in this to explain what she’s doing and why because this is kinda hard to follow
jaida knight especially around 4:20, I have no idea what the hell happened.
jaida knight thanks for your recommendation! 💖 and I’m in a dilemma because my first language is Spanish so it would be easy for me to explain in that language, but also I want all the people to understand the video no matter what language they speak. So I don’t know, what do you recommend me to do?
@@AnetteAguirre I don't even need to do this but I clicked because I wanted to see the process. Reading your comment shows how mindful you are of language barriers! Even if you can't caption your video, maybe written instructions and have a friend review it with you? Well, whatever you decide to do, gracias :)

I didn't understand it the first time but when I rewatched it I was able to follow along and do the same to a pair of my jeans
Future tip. Turn the pants in side out then you can sew the side seams with a lot more ease and accuracy. 🌷
Isabel van Schalkwyk But everytime I do this the waistband does hurt there because there is a Viking roll of fabric that feels like I put a pencil between the jeans and my hipbone
@@susannahellmuth81 then cut the roll out
You're right!! thank you so much!! 💖
I also think that it's much more easier that way than Cutting directly like that and sew it will just going to be smaller than the target measure you want
Me while watching this: nice! But don't wanna take a risk. 😅
Ya😅
No hablo taka taka
me too omg
No srsly it works
Nope ! that's easy
*Noob in sewing here*
I tried doing this on all of my shortsss.. and damn girl the time and effort is sooo worth it!! Works best on high waisted shorts/ jeans!! Love it!! Thanks a lot! 😍😁
Mav Mav thank you so so much!!! For watching and for doing it 🙌🏻😍😍
@@AnetteAguirre My pleasure! 😍 You have a way of explaining (showing) the instructions that gives viewers the knowledge and confidence to actually do it! 😁 Stay awesome!! 😍😘
Wow! Honestly great job! Even without words you “explained” the process quite well. Personally, I was a little confused, but I’m definitely keeping this as a reference for downsizing my man jeans. :) Awesome work!
OMG! Thank you so much for all your lovely words. And if you are confused, just ask me and I'll be happy to help you. Thank you so much for watch this tutorial!!💖

Naaah... I know a better way to get those results. Junkfood
which way?
Lu Castello junkfood, so eat and get fat 😂
@@rosewifey7239 so big jeans fit then
🙄😂😂😂 that was cute
High Metsbolism.
Some tips :>
pin the pants inside out so you just sew where you placed the pins and also seam-rip the waistband all around except where the zipper and button are after removing the belt loops (and before sewing the sides) so you dont have to cut and sew both sides of the waistband, just one.
If you need to take in more but don't have enough space with the front and back pockets you can seam rip the middle butt seam, take it in just like the sides, and double stitch it back up just like it was.
Hope this helps!
I think I will also just try the pants on inside-out and save some more effort.
This is the best video yet for my slimming the waste it’s perfect, I’ve gone through a lot of more other ones and they make it a lot more difficult
Omg! Thank you so much! Makes me happy to know that 💖 and thank you so much for watch this tutorial, if you want to see more videos like this, suscribe to my channel ✨
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just finished with my pair of jeans and I absolutely love how they turned out 😍 I sewed mine by hand!
As a 181cm tall girl, I've never had jeans that fit my waist- maybe with this tutorial it will change!! Thank you for making this
L00n4t1c thank you so much for watching it 😍❤️

She said no words and this is the only tutorial I’ve been able to understand
my waist to hip ratio is really far apart so i always have to pay to get all my pants downsized (i buy in the size of my hips) but now i can do it myself!thanks for this!!
Thank you so so much for watch this tutorial! 💖 I hope you make items if you do let me know ✨
Mimo Beans me too!

Hola 👋
I'm so glad this was recommended to me, now I know what to do with mom jeans that are a bit loose around my waist area♡♡

you’re a genius. this is the most innovative thing I’ve seen in a while, my jaw reached the floor
Ok i'm gonna try this. It's my first time sewing ANYTHING (besides in school of course) but... i'll update how it's going
UPDATE: they're ready!!!! The video was super easy to follow and the jeans turned out so good !! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!! I send you a big hug 😍🙌🏻
This video even reached a Brazilian woman, now I know how I'm going to transform men's jeans into jeans for myself at a cheaper price. Good job girl.
Soy el comentario en español que tanto buscás 🙃
JAJAJDJAJAJ ay si 😔
Hola jajaja 😅
Si jaja

No entendí ni verga. 🤣
Que lindo que por personas como tú, podamos lucir mejor:'))
Honestly this seems really straight forward. It was easy to understand the purpose of each step even without talking
Omg!! Thank you so much!!! you made my day ! 💖
At first I was thinking what is she doing cutting them like that but as I continued to watch I was amazed 👏 you did a fantastic job they look amazing 👏
just found some super cute jeans in my grandmother’s closet, at least 30 years old. i’m so happy i found them and this video :))
Amazing tutorial!! You have outlined each step so thoroughly and clearly. It’s great to know the professional way to alter a waistband.
Thank you 🙌🏽
This song btw...
*nostalgia intensifies
cringe
yesss lol had to mute it
It sounds like my ringtone lol
I have big hips and butt so I always need to buy bigger pants and they all are loose in the waist. I'm gonna do that
Tábata Noveli thank you so so much for watch this tutorial 💖
SAME
But if I downsize them they might not go up hips
We have the same problem
If your problem is that the jeans don’t fit in the waist try putting a piece of elastic in the back of the jeans like they have in kids jeans!! Super easy! Haley’s Corner did a video where she did just that. It was a thrift flip video but I’m not sure which one 🤷♀️
you saved me! I need to redo a model of pants and this video just saved me! 💞😍 God bless you for real!
Thank u dear... i have around 4,5 jeans to alter the hip.. your video helped me a lot i finished 2.. reallyvery useful method.. thank u for sharing this useful method😊😊😊
Hi! Could I skip the zigzag stitch step? Since the raw hem would be on the inside? I only hand sew so that part would be difficult for me
This tips good,
but can I have a tips to downside my fat as well
i felt this
@@yamads6515 thank you
🤣😂😭😭😭
Eat less
Vegan - High Carb low fat, you can eat how much you want :)
ive already did this to two of my jeans and now im on the third, works amazing thanku you so much
Great video! And i think this was a genius way to downsize your jeans. Maybe since some people found it confusing, you can try slowing down the technical parts, that might help:3 I understood it well tho. Definitely gonna use this method
omg!!! Thank you so much!! Okay I will consider it for my next videos thank you so much again !! 💖
Mil gracias Anette este es el primer video que veo que me gusta como se ven los resultados y el step by step se entiende perfecto! ya lo quiero intentar :)
en comparación a todos los vídeos que he visto, sin duda el mejor y más práctico
Okay but those are the cutest jeans
Fue el mejor tutorial que pude encontrar para arreglar pantalones, mil gracias!!!!🙌🙌🙌
Me encantó! Sin tanto hablar,me quedo muy claro. Gracias por esta demostración.
I lost weight--and have wonderful jeans and I can't give away. This is great!! Thank you!
he utilizado este método ya en dos pantalones y todo genial!!!
muchas gracias
Woow!!! Padrisimo me alegra mucho !! Muchas gracias por ver este tutorial ! 💖
Hola! Me explicarías más o menos cómo es el proceso? 😅 Con el video me costó un poquito entender y creo que le puedo robar algún pantalón viejo a mi papá xD
The sewing was ace, But the soundtrack definitely brought it home for me!!!
This video is great. I am excited to alter several pairs of jeans and rather than buying new jeans after a significant weight loss. Thank you very much.
These vids are great :) we should all be learning how to do this instead of throwing out clothes and buying new ones.
No blah blah blah. Straight to the point. Great!!!
Thank you very much. You saved my money. 💚 I resized all my old jeans. 💚💚💚💚
I love the floral embroidery on our jeans! Did you do that yourself or did they come like that? X
RocAce they came with that but I also know how to embroidery ❤️
Anette Aguirre de donde son tus pantalones❤️❤️
Stoody Studio me los regalaron, pero la etiqueta dice “limited too” no se si te sirva 💖
amazing video! you are an amazing teacher! i was able to fully follow every step! thank youuuu! i had watched so many videos all with words and i was so lost! then i saw your video and duh! so easy!
Monica Cardenas OMGG!! I’m so so happy you said that 😍 I want all people to be able to understand the video no matter what language they are 💖❤️
Jeans has always been a problem for me. I have a slightly generous behind and smaller waist. Nothing ever fits me perfectly😂 Thanks, now I know how to resize, without touching the tag. The elastic garter trick doesn’t always look good on denim.
Ace Ancheta thank you so muuuch!! 😍💖💖
if you’re looking for a way to do this without immediately cutting (trial and error y’all!) You could sew darts instead, and then cut the excess fabric off when you’re happy with sizing!
Omg you’re so right!! Thank you so much for your advice!! 💖
can you help!! I want to do this but the pockets are going to get cut of slightly should I still do it?
Eres la mejor en confecciónar estas cosas, GRACIAS!!!
Muchísimas graciaas y también por ver el video!! 😍💖💖
@@AnetteAguirre tienes talento ♥
Wow. This is a lot but the outcome is great. Imma take my time and do this for a couple of hours.
This video is great!! I've been looking for a good way to downsize my jeans, and while there are easier methods, I think the results on yours look the best!! I'm definitely going to try it!!
Sa Garcia omgg!! Thank you so so much!! so glad you liked it !! And I hope you try it soon 😍❤️ send you the best vibes 💖❤️
this was a great tutorial, ive sewed maybe two times in the past but my jeans are perfect, thank you1
lunes victoria thanks to you for watching!! 😍💖💖
Your tutorial is soooooo easy to followww !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Muchísimas graciaas!! 😍💖
I'm curious is there a reason you didn't just pin them while wearing them inside out and then just sew a line, remove the pins and trim the excess? That's not a rhetorical question, I really would love to know more!
Peepsqueek I don’t know I never thought about it, but now I think that it’s an easiest way thank you so much ❤️
I would (personally) definitely pin them inside out for the first bit, but I wouldn't leave out the part where you unpick the waistband and downsize that seperately. if you try to just fold the waistband bit and sew, it'll be bulky and uncomfortable.
This is just what I needed, I've gone down from a size 8 to a size 0-2 over the past 2 years and now most of my pants are way too big on my waist, i'll def. try this out!
How you do that I'm a size 8 trying to get at least to a 5
Or 4
@@victoriagodinez9687 Hey, I achieved that by consistently working out 6 days a week, with plenty of Hiit to get that heartbeat up and burn the initial fat and then different stuff like legs/booty/abs, etc.. If I don't have a lot of time I do a 10-minute workout to do something, and if I have time I do between 25-45minutes (depending on my mood lol). Edit: I also walk a lot, with my dog or get of off the bus a bus stop earlier.
As for my food i started eating plant-based, which isn't necessary but do try to get in a lot of fiber because that fills you up. Like eating porridge in the morning for example or some falafel for dinner. Very tasty but very filling too. ALSO and this is the most important thing, don't stress about achieving your goal, allow yourself to have what you want, maybe through a cheat day, I have one once a week where I usually eat a big plant-based burger and some chocolate because my body is craving it 😌
I hope you achieve your goal, just remember it takes time and different things work for different people. ❤️
P.S. I usually do workouts by Chloe Ting, MadFit, Pamela Reif and Natacha Oceane. That way it doesn't get boring.
@@NightshadeGoddess thank you 😊 I will be using this information im in waterpolo so the eating might be a problem but I can handle it :)
@@victoriagodinez9687 welcome ❤️
Al principio no entendí, pero ya al final le di sentido, y tiene mucha lógica en realidad... muchas gracias por enseñarme
Pues no sé de que se queja la gente de que se perdieron, o no le funcionó. Yo entendí todo a la perfección, y me ha ayudado a arreglar varios pantalones!! Muchas gracias enserio 🙏🏻
Ayleen muchísimas graciaaas!! 😍💖
I'm a long time seamstress and your skills are impressive, unfortunately I think most of the viewers will be lost pretty quickly with this much detail involved....adding text or narration would be essential, regards
brandiveh thankyou so much for your advice, I’ll try to add narration in my next videos❤️❤️
I love baggy jeans, and my waist is non-existing so its hard for me to not look wierd in my baggy jeans. This really helped me!
Cought I’m so happy to help thank you so much for watch this tutorial!! 💖
Can't wait to try this on some new jeans I bought and they were extremely big on me. Unable to return them so if I screw up its no big deal. Thanks
Good luck! just try to pin everything, try it then cut the access fabric! being cautious won't hurt you 🙏
IS THE BEST VIDEO I SAW TODAY THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!! :)
Yes this is what I’ve needed my whole life
Really helpful, just kinda wondering how to do the legs...
I think the legs stay baggy like boyfriend jeans
@@remie973 what's the difference between mom jeans and boyfriend jeans?
MissLilCuteTea not sure if this is correct or not but mom jeans are more high waisted and boyfriend jeans are midrise
@@MissLilCuteTea I think mom jeans are baggier and boyfriend jeans are skinny x
@@MissLilCuteTea Mom jeans are usually high waisted and sort of loose, but cut like women's jeans usually are, with some curve to the leg. Boyfriend Jeans are styled like Men's jeans, so they're straight from the waist to the ankle and are usually pretty baggy.
¡Gran trabajo! Lucen excelentes.
Muchísimas graciaas!! Y gracias por ver el video 🙌🏻
Thanks for all details. You made true sewing. Thanks again. ....
No me canso de ver este video
Lo he hecho con mis pantalones y quedan geniales!!!!!!!👌👌👌👌👌
Wow....That was a lot of hard work but amazing finish
did you have any problems with your pockets?
Yo he probado muchas técnicas y está me parece la mejor. Me deja el pantalón tallado y bonito.
LOVE this video! So excited to remake my jeans🥺
So helpful! Got a few pairs of jeans I need to use this on!
Have you done it? How did it look?
@@emmab.1328 Yes! Ive done is successfully twice. It's been very helpful
@@elliemarie4912 thanks for letting me know!
Hi! Can this also work for downsizing the legs as well, the only difference being you would change the seam further down the leg too instead of stopping at the hip?
Me encanto este tutorial 🇦🇷❤️😍te veo desde Argentina
You just blew my mind dude
Me ayudaste muchísimo compre un pantalón que me queda enorme, gracias
TE AMO!!! el único DIY que me sirvió

Muy bueno y práctico el vídeo. Lo prondre en práctica. Saludos
Hasta cierto punto se ve bien el ajuste pero... las bolsas que quedan en los lados se ven terribles!
Quizás si hubiese llegado hasta abajo la costura para que se viera recto, se vería más " normal"
Thank you ❤️
My favourite jeans finally fit me now😊🦋
Omg you've saved my lifeeee. Thank you so muchhh!!!
Have you done this? Was it really difficult?
Hey! Where did you buy this jeans? I love those little flowers on it 😍 or where can I find similar jeans? :)
It was a gift from my grandpa, but the label says limited too 💖
@@AnetteAguirre pls link :(
That's cool! But in a scale of 1 to 10, how likely is a noob like me going to end up destroying a pair of jeans?
I actually think I can do that! I'm hesitating between taking in the sides of the jeans like shown in the video or by taking in the back of the jeans like other shows. Is there a difference between the two methods ?
Taking in the side gets rid of that pouch in front of them. Taking it in from the big is for when they aren’t that much bigger because it’s so much easier
per-fect ♡♡♡ I did it and now I wanna downsize all my jeans.
Thank you so much for watching 🙌🏻💖
Have you done any yet? How do they look?
uhuuuuu gracias bella eres la mejor ya puedo ajustar ese pantalon nuevo y no tener que deshacerme de el
Muchísimas gracias a ti por ver el video! 😍💖
Amei, muito legal, vou cortar as calças e bermudas e fazer os ajustes certos pelas suas instruções no vídeos.
i absolutely hated wearing jeans bc im super short and a bit chubby so obviously my pants were always too long,,, i have a local place that i take my jeans to get hemmed and trimmed and now i LOVE dressing up and actually feel a lot more confident just for doing this 🥺
I actually did it and it looks just fine now my only problem is the waist (i only handsew so you can do it!)
thank you for giving me a courage to buy a new one.
Wow que chilo me gusto tu video ahora podré arreglar mis pantalones 👌🏻
Muchísimas gracias! 😍💖
This is probably the most complicated way to do it but it still works fine
