How to Make Your Jeans Bigger by Inserting Elastic - 3 WAYS FROM VERY EASY TO PROFESSIONAL!

- Опубліковано 7 чер 2021
- Hello friends! In today’s video, I wanted to show you three ways to make your jeans bigger by inserting elastic. I made another video about making your jeans bigger a few months ago and I received many requests on a video of me inserting elastic! The next video I want to make in my "making jeans bigger" series, I want to demonstrate how you insert an entire strip of jeans from the waistband to the hem, so please let me know if that interests you!

I went to a professional tailor where I live. I had two pairs of pants I needed let out a bit. She told me she couldn’t do it😏 little did she know I can sew just had a machine issue so I went and bought a new machine and with these instructions I’ll get it done ✅ thank you so much🥰
Fantastic! Happy sewing! 😊
You possess uncanny rare talent…the ability to instruct as well as demonstrate. A win-win for viewers. Thank you for sharing…
Aweee... Thanks so much for your kind comment. I'm glad you like watching my videos 🥰
Yes, some people have the knowledge, but cannot teach. This lady has it all!
Yes I agree , one of the best demonstration and commentary, she has made it easy. Thank you ❤️
I love option 1 & 2. Going to try and fix a few pairs of jeans I was planning to donate because they were too tight. Thank you so much for starting this channel! I really appreciate all the advice on tailoring and garment repair that you share here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ouuu you’re so kind, thank you! And good luck on your project!
Could you do a tutorial similar to this one but for maternity? That would be so great to se a more professional way to adjust regular jeans for a person who is experiencing!
Yes! We'll work on it!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been sewing for a lot of years and do alterations for friends and family, but I've always said "No" to altering jeans. Now I feel I can tackle them after seeing this. I also have a number of pants that I need to let out the waistline and Women's pants don't usually have enough seam allowance to let out much. Like a lot of people, the pandemic has encouraged a lot of us to eat more and the resulting added pounds. LOL. I'm glad I found your channel and appreciate you taking the time to teach us.
Thanks so much for watching. Certainly we've grown to the sides lately 😉
Not only is your sewing great--your soft melodic accent makes me feel like I could do it. Thank you so much.
Awe! You’re so sweet 🥹 Thanks 😊
I recently thrifted 2 pair of jeans that are so “vintage” they don’t have any spandex whatsoever. Therefore the waist needs some expansion. You’re my go-to for alterations. I have the wide elastic, but never thought to join strips to make even wider. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise
You are absolutely right! The first one looks better, but the others look good as well. Perhaps with more practice we will do the first way too! Great job and thanks for showing us your techniques. You are a great teacher!!!
After watching some of your videos I have to tell you I absolutely love all of your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing your professional techniques! I love your accent too! Reminds me of some of my aunts I haven’t been able to see for a while.
Thanks so much for your kind comment 😊
Thank you! I have a few pairs of pants with waists I despair of ever fitting into - but the hips and thighs fit fine. This is such a great way to make them wearable! I confess I'll probably take the easiest approach, but wow, you make all three look very good!
Thanks 😊 😊😊
I think the second one, easy and so nicely finished. Great as always.
Absolutely loved your voiceovers and the project. I listened carefully to every word. Your voice is very listenable. You are well spoken. Thanks for your time.
Thanks so much 🥰
Oh yes, that's good to mention. I also loved the clear articulation and that what is explained, relates to what we see...that's a natural teacher 💐
I would use either way. I already added fabric to a couple of pants. I used very tight black underwear that I couldn't wear because the stretch material was too strong. It works, but it isn't pretty because I made it up as I did it. I only wear over blouses, so no one sees. Thanks for this.
Brilliant.
Thanks for your suggestion 😊
😊😊
Yes yes 😅 and yes!!! That's awesome! Real Boss work!! I love ❤ all 3 ways! Thank you so very much 💖 for sharing your skill set with this online community. Yay!! 😅😅😊 May God continue to bless the work of your hands. ❤
This looks so good. I’m a long way from being able to do this but this is goals
So helpful, don't know a thing about sewing but I am so willing to fix my jeans thanks to this video, thank you.
You are amazing!! Such good, clear instructions! Thank you for sharing. Obviously you have many years of experience.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! Even for some of us who can sew, this is a great way to keep the clothes that you love , and clothing no longer comes with seam allowance, making alterations hard to do. Thank you.🎉
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊
I have a few jeans I was going to give away because they don't fit. This is the perfect solution! I already have the elastic I need, and if I use technique #3 it will only take a little time. Yes yes...I know that #3 doesn't look as professional but sometimes I just want to get my sewing done and not take too much time on it!
Yes. Of course! I showed this option because I think it has value. Most of the time we wear a shirt covering this anyways. Happy sewing!!!

So glad I found this video! A friend of mine asked for help to enlarge the waist of a pair of suit pants because he now has an ileostomy. He needs more room in the waist for comfort, and to allow for expansion throughout the day as the bag fills. This alteration will not show because the suit jacket will cover it. He specifically requested elastic if at all possible, so I believe this will work.Thank you so much. You are an excellent teacher!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
I want to thank you so much for your UA-cam channel . I am a first timer my granddaughter got me this little sewing machine for Christmas and I am learning how to sew OMG you really show me how to sew my old jeans that didn't fit . I did yours step by step and now I have 3 pairs of jeans 👖Oh I got a medium sewing machine now .. can't wait to see more of your stuff .
Aweee 🥰 I'm so glad, comment like this, inspire me so much. Thank you 💞💞💕
I'm a beginner sewer and I got this video right after a friend came home asking for a repair of her pants... I got an idea from your video on how to fix the problem. Allah bless you and to you channel. Thank you
This video showed up in time. I needed to extend my son’s pants and wow 🤩 you done an excellent job displaying how to do this. I am now going to try it myself. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
This is a very good tutorial and one I will no doubt use. Thank you so much!
Really appreciate you making these videos (also the lovely jean modification that added patterned fabric!)
Glad you liked them! Thanks so much for your support 💕
I loved watching you sew and your voice is so calm and reassuring! thanks :-)
Thank you 🥰
I love 💗 your videos! I only wish I knew about this sooner!! You're a great teacher... wish I lived near you, 😿I would love to watch and learn!!
Thanks so much for your comment 😊
Dr.Elizabeth - I never realized how important it is to have a serger machine and chalk and a real ruler - makes the work much more professional
Thank you so much. I used your method to allow my favourite linen trousers to still fit my aging and spreading waistline. They are comfortable to wear again, I am so happy...
I'm so glad you were able to fix your pants! Cheers 😊
Thank you so much for your great video! 👍 you have the gift for explaining very clearly step after step! I used to be a professor so I know what I am talking about! I am a very bad sewer so I will pick the easiest way to make my jeans 👖 wider. I am also relieved to know
that I am not the only one to put on weight at the weast even though I am slim but in my seventies! Congratulations again 👏
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰🥰
I like the first one for the professional look but the second one would be good enough for me. Excellent work!
Beautiful work. U make it look so easy. The “easy way” is what I was gonna do before I found you. Thanks !
🥰🥰🥰
Wow that's awesome! I'm considering this for my work pants! Thank you for sharing!
Oh! You are very welcome 🙂
Perfect timing. I have some jeans I kept to hope to be able to wear again . They fit just to the zipper yet still a little snug.Your tutorial showing the addition of the elastic....thank you for sharing.
New subscriber.😊
You got this! 🥰🥰🥰
Great work. I would probably do the second one ,because I'm lazy, lol. Thank you for showing this.
I like option 1 but I do see the advantage of saving time in option 2 and it allows me to be a lazy sewer which I am sometimes.
Thanks for the tip!
My pleasure 🥰 😊
The three of them are lovely and professional! Thank you for sharing your experience and talents 😊
My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for another amazing video. This looks fairly easy, but I like the one where you replace the pocket, the best. Thanks again 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Really enjoyed this video. Wish I could sew as well as you do😊 Thank you for showing🤗
This is exactly what I was looking for! Very useful technique, no wonder there are over 21,000 likes! Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing this!
I’m not sure if I can say which I followed, but I got the elastic on jeans and they feel great!🤪 Thank you so much💕
Nice to hear 🥰 Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you for the demonstrations. I have 5 pair of jeans to expand the waist on and you saved me. They turned out great and were easy to do
I’m so glad! Thanks for letting me know 🥰
I wish I thought of this long ago I’ve lost so many jeans to weight gain and now it’s happening again . I’m going to try this and save the ones I still love :) thank u so much for this tutorial!
Excellent demonstration. Great job👍
This was so informational and it’s so over my head 😭 I bought some very cute pants that are just way too small!! I’ll be watching this video a million times trying to learn how to fix them haha
This was a clear explanation of all the steps, so educational! When I do a job, I like to do it well, so I definitely preferred the first method - so professional and really the right way. However if I felt pressed for time, I may use the second method which was still had a reasonably clean finish. Thank you for your time, i've subscribed for more 👍
Thank you for subscribing and for your kind words!!
Love it!!! I always find something new with your videos! Thank You
Thanks so much 🥰
thank you so much for these handy technics, clear and precise explanations. I will definitely try on a pair of trouser, probably the easiest way, but I feel comfortable with the other way too which is not too difficult. Thanks for your time
🥰🥰🥰
1 and 2 options are really nice! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your input! 🥰
Wow they’re both good,it’s either way,thank you,the way you explain is as clear as water,Thank you it helps a lot to me because I’m a seamstress❤😊
🥰🥰🥰
Amazing. Very helpful. I have soo much to learn.
Keep the Videos coming...I'll definitely be watching and sharing..👍👍
Perfect. Thank you so much for your tutorial.2 is my choice
Brilliant, just great, we have all at some time had to give away a great pair of Jean's that we loved wearing because we put on weight and they didn't fit us any more, hopefully this will be the answer, for me to re love wearing those Jean's again, as a really great pair of Jean's that fits well is hard to find and best of all, your video advice can save me money, I love that, what a great channel, I love sewing, very interesting, I really liked it I subscribed, I gave it thumbs up, I commented and I saved your videos to my playlist, thank you for sharing this and for making the videos, it's so very helpful.

Hi Laura!!! Thank you sooooo much for all of your kind words! That's the beauty of this alteration! It's my pleasure to have helped. Cheers!!!

🥰 Well Done! Looking forward to doing this, probably will do #1 as it is a better polished end. If I find it difficult I will switch to #2! Thank You!
Excellent tutorial, I tried the second method and am very happy with the result. Thank You.
Great to hear! Thanks for letting me know 😊
Your videos are so great! Thank you. :)
Thank you very much for the clear and precise instructions!

Lovely. Well done. Sewing is easy to see. Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
The first and the 2 definitely look more professional…. I’ve done the 3rd one on my jeans a few years ago and it is a little uncomfortable…. I will definitely have ago at the other two …. Thank you so much for sharing your skill and talent with us … you make things easy to understand.💖💖💖💖
Thanks so much for watching 🥰
A wonderful tutorial!!!

amazing!! thank you for the clear instructions and great video!

Esta chévere esa reparación.... así podemos reciclar y darle nueva vida a los pantalones que otros botan... MUCHAS GRACIAS por enseñarme
Muchas gracias por tus palabras lindas! Exactamente! Las alteraciones le dan otra vida a la ropa!
Hi … at 1st glance both look great. But like you, I think the 1st one is worth the extra time. As a seamstress for many yrs I can say that clients may not know how to update their things but still want them to look great. On the other hand the 2nd one would be great to use on work pants & kid’s clothes❤ Thank you !! Katie
I totally agree! Thanks 😊
been looking for this . thank you for making this video
Thank you. Your explanations are comletely clear and so clever!
🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely genius 😇!!! Love the accent as well!!😍🤣

Very appealing work, really good ,

Amazing! The 1st option is very clean and sturdy. Option 2 was good for a simpler fix. I wish i had a sewing machine. I'm looking for a by hand tutorial
Thanks so much 🥰 I think I should make a video about it. Cheers 🙂
Congrats.... I'm Brasilian, and I'm grateful for you.... Thanks!! 💖☺️
Thanks 🥰 Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Much thanks for this tutorial - you are an excellent tailor!
Thanks so much 🥰
Thank you!
I love how the first one looks but my sewing skills can only handle the third one. So glad that I don’t have to donate my pants now that I can make the waist a little bigger.
You are so welcome! Happy sewing! Cheers
Thanks for your tips. I too would like to extend the waist while the rest of my jeans fit fine. I will evaluate and see which one will be best.

Yes! You can 👍👍👍
