Dear friends, thank you for watching. I hope now your jeans fit you better than ever before. The most common questions: 1. Do I make it with both sides? - Yes, both sides. 2. If I'm so skilled why not sew new jeans by individual measurements? - I don't recommend sewing jeans at home with a home machine. Only professional machines. 3. Are you russian? - Thank God, no.
When people ask me to just "quickly take these pants in" for them, I'll send them this video. It's a very helpful video! But most people think you just sew some darts in maybe? To make clothing fit you perfectly, it takes more work than most people expect.
Update: I did it! Took in a pair of size10 jeans to a size 8 using this method. I had to take off more further down the leg as they were too big on my hips and thighs too but with a bit of tweaking they fit great. You can’t even tell I altered them. So chuffed. I couldn’ have done it without your excellent demonstration. Thank you 🤗
That little bit of elastic seems great to have your jeans fit your waist WHILST being able to expand/contract when you sit or have a big dinner 🤣 wish all jeans were made like that
I'm gonna have to try this! I'm a pear too, S-sized in the waist and L-sized in the hips so 95% of store bought jeans fit awkwardly. I did take in jeans before but it looked bulky and only got rid of a few centimeters. This looks very clean, hopefully it'll work for me, thank you very much! (Side note though why do most brands just not make pants for this body type lol.)
Thank you so much! My teen daughter is very pear shaped (I'm not) so I had absolutely no idea of how to fix her pants. This is the BEST method and tutorial I've seen.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far. I really don’t like the look of just chopping through the waistband and sewing it back together. It’s too bulky. Taking a little more time on it makes all the difference.
Thank you so much, I'm skinny af,then I have this big butt and thin waist and just can't find pants, so I wear yoga pants all the time..now I can wear my pants just hanging in my closet. This is so cool, thank you so much 🙏 ❤
Thank you for the tutorial. I have the same pb. But after a, while I simplifief the procedure to one single step: tightening from the back side by sewing inside the excess width. It's not perfect but it really does work
@@ChilloutMusicFan put your pants on inside out, grab the excess fabric in the back, as tight as you want it and fixate it with pins(all the way down to your bum). take off the pants, put as many pins as u need and then just sew along the pins. cut of the excess and sew zigzag. e voila
Instead of elastic, another method is to just use the existing center seam on the waistband and take that in the extra inch or two. It'll look way more natural.
Problem for me with this method is that I have HIGH hips! I simply cut 2 small holes around 4 inches from each side of the front fly on the inside of the waistband and insert elastic, then secure it so that waistband fits snug.
@@krisdiane I literally have 2 1/2" between the bottom of my ribs and the top of my hips,.... and the bone structure my pevic girdle is large in comparison to the rest of my frame. It makes alterations very challenging.
@@JoMomma my rib to hip distance about three of my bony fingers wide. 🤦♀️ My hips are also a large portion of my body. I'm five two with thirty six inches from floor to hip and a twenty eight inch inseam. When I find jeans that fit well I am STOKED.
Too much work for me. I'm not a seamstress, but I have to take in my clothes alot. I have done a pretty good job of it over the years, but when it comes to the course denim, I can't see me going through all of this. Any other fabric and I'm game.This is great work, but I'll pass on the denims.
I cut open the waist band from the inside and sew a length of strong elastic on the inside. It takes 10 mins and if you don't mind the back being scrunched up a bit like there is an elastic in there it works super well
Go to your local thrift store and pick up a pair on sale for cheap. Then tear them apart and experiment! Even if they aren't in your size it would be good practice
Perfect job I really like the colour of those jeans haven't seen that colour for a long time in Australia. Been looking for someone that can make a jacket bigger and saw you're tutorial about jeans I have to do this all the time but the other way around because I have a big stomach I always put the belt loops on to the top of the cut parts to hide the cut. your filming is amazing really easy to see
Although not as noticeable here, the placement of the pockets changed. I think in other pairs of pants, it might be more noticeable and you would have to remove them and center them once more
This came up as suggested video. I cannot sow. Idk why this isn’t taught to girls in school anymore. It’s sad. I feel most women knew how to do this just two generations ago and now it’s mostly lost. Amazing watching the skill.
@@DollfaceLizkah Ugh, guess we should go back to the kitchen, get grooming classes and not have the right to a credit card. It's a false nostalgia. Things are better than before and nothing is stopping you from buying a cheap sewing machine because you have FREE access to thousands upon thousands of hours of sewing content on the internet.
Merci beaucoup!👍👖✂️📍 Pour ceux qui font la couture b c'est compréhensible sans une parfaite connaissance d'anglais. Pourquoi dans les usines cette idée n'est pas appliquée. Elle devrait. Bonjour et merci de la France 🇫🇷🖖
Wonderful. But I’ll never will go to so much trouble. !! Love to watch your video. You explain so nice,perfect I’m impressed ⭐️🇵🇷💯🙏♥️😇 GOD bless you and your audience too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for this!! Im going to try it out hopefully soon. I have a hugeeeee problem with buying jeans... Im not pear shaped really, I dont have a ton of hips or anything, I have more of an athletic shaped body, subtle curve from waist to hip... But as my mother always used to say, I have a "bubble butt". Wouldn't guess it if I was facing you straight on, but when I turn to the side its a big difference. I typically wear a size 3 in jeans but not only does the waist nevER fit right, I also get bagging right under my butt in the upper leg part of the jeans. I have no clue how to fix it. My butt doesn't gradually blend into my thigh, theres sort of a shelf and my legs are not in proportion with my butt at all. I have a small frame everywhere else besides my butt. If the entire leg of the jeans isn't too big, its just the upper thigh/part right under the butt of the jeans. I wish there was a tailoring class near me lol
You have the exact same body type like me! Finally someone describe it well of my ‘problem’ on finding a pant that fit well. Straight hip/body from the front, skinny bone small chest. But turn to the side, the butt is rounding and popping like a bubble! 😄
I have fixed new jeans Why in women jeans to have the back not fit in the hollow of ones back? I have the girls try them on inside out. Then find a place that is comfortable at the waist for the girls but also you can feel the fabric how it pulls to make a few short darts. Its a quicker method. And it looks nice from the outside. Sometimes 2 darts will be enough sometimes 4 short darts. Start your needle at the point and sew toward the waistband.
Could you in theory take in the back centre seam same as sides aswell?. Or is the back seam harder to get looking smooth? Youd want it to be smooth or it would look awfull. I have a big butt at back, not so much at the sides. Great video thanx. I like how you cut the waistband closer to the back too.
Most likely, the reason she is doing elastic is that if she took in the back waist to fit as well, she wouldn't be able to get it over her hips, even with the zipper fully open. A truly fitted pair of jeans/pants/trousers would need a side zipper or possible two depending on the difference between waist and hip measurements.
Excelente profesional, pero cuánto trabajo para deshacer una prenda nueva, yo lo resuelvo con una goma en la cintura,no es un trabajo fino pero te saca del apuro
Well, having my jeans be baggy round the waist is not a problem I'm have post covid and lockdowns, ngl. Solved that problem all myself, but I suppose this works too well.
@@LenaBritArtist I tried and it worked!!! My jeans are beautiful now 🤣… I made darts first but I didn’t like how the darts looked on the jeans. Thank you so much!!!!

Pourquoi avoir ressenti le besoin de rajouter « Thank God »?
Ceci dit, merci pour les conseils.
3. 👏🏻
I love the hammer trick, never would have thought of that!
Can i ask why i shouldnt sew jeans with my home machine?
I love how you tell us about every detail of the method, so that we don't mess it up. The best tutorial ever. 😂❤️

(Side note though why do most brands just not make pants for this body type lol.)
Most brands are European owned and therefore make clothes to fit the average European. It's like how Asian brands seldom make xl and XXL sizes.

This was amazing. With skills like that, she can make her own jeans.

It needs guts to deconstruct brand new jeans!
Not if it's H&M
😂 right 😩😩😩
I couldn’t….😮
It’s truly amazing. My lazy thoughts was like “i think ill just buy new pair” 🥺 I wish i am as skilled like you🥺

Beautiful technique and attention to detail. My seamstress/tailor mom would have approved!
I just take mine to the tailor. Done. ✔ Great tutorial!!🤓
@@traciescott1871 k
Thanks for showing us all the details as you did. It is much easier now for me to do the same with my jeans after I loos many pounds of weight 🥳❣
Congrats!
The hammer trick is one of those things that is so obvious that I had to be told. Thanks!
Instead of elastic, another method is to just use the existing center seam on the waistband and take that in the extra inch or two. It'll look way more natural.
Great solution. Only 1 suggestion
How about moving the two belt loops from back center to cover the line of stitch on the belt.
Problem for me with this method is that I have HIGH hips! I simply cut 2 small holes around 4 inches from each side of the front fly on the inside of the waistband and insert elastic, then secure it so that waistband fits snug.
Thank you!! 💕 I have high hips as well, and I couldn't see how I could make this work. I will definitely try this. 😁

@@krisdiane I hear you! Your proportions sound very similar to mine. Jeans are the hardest garment to find that fit well.
I do the same, it is easier and with the same result

Thanks to this! this a bit easier to understand than the other tutorials its very clear ☺️
Beautiful job with these jeans! Thanks for the tips on altering our clothing.
I cannot do this because I know I will destroy my brand new jeans 😂
Go to your local thrift store and pick up a pair on sale for cheap. Then tear them apart and experiment! Even if they aren't in your size it would be good practice
It's so helpful, i have XL size for my button but S side for my waist... Finally I can wearing my jeans 💕❤️, thank you
How so much difference?
Proper, clean, precise detailed work! Fantastic video, I love how you take your time!

This is the most beautiful alteration I've ever come across., ❤️
Beautiful reconstruction and I LOVE your accent. 😊
Thank you so much! After losing a lot of weight my favourite work pants are way too big! Now I’ll be able to wear them again ❤😊
It did a wonderful job explaining, and each step is clearly shown in the your video. Thank you
Best tutorial of this type that I have ever seen. Defenitely going to try iy
Although not as noticeable here, the placement of the pockets changed. I think in other pairs of pants, it might be more noticeable and you would have to remove them and center them once more
Thank you! Great information, I will defiantly try this. Beautiful professional looking result!
This seems simple enough, definitely going to practice on some old jeans I have!
I was with you up until the elastic, then you lost me. But the rest was great. Thanks.
Fr 😭😭😭😭
I'm lost when she made the first cut lol...
I wish jeans were made this way to begin with
This is perfect! Can you also please make a video on how to turn high waisted jeans to low waisted jeans?
This was so relaxing 😌
You are so beautiful 😍
Your amazing I just learned something new, this will help me alot. Lots of jeans put away because it needs adjustment Thank you👍🌹
I am always thankfull to learn new things. Thx
Thanks for the explication, I like very much your channel, You are very professional

Why just girls? Sewing isn't for girls only. This comment sounds misogynistic

Do you take the jeans in on one side or both sides? I wasn’t sure if you did the other side off camera. Also this was an amazing tutorial!
both sides 👍🏻
@@LenaBritArtist I had the same confusion. Please make it a point to specifically mention it to avoid any confusion.
@@LenaBritArtist thank you!!
Very nice alteration! Thanks for sharing!
So detailed and professional looking!
I love how UA-cam recommended me this when I can’t even sew a button
I am very pear-shaped so I love this example! Now maybe I can have jeans that fit..

Amazing technique👌👌very useful 👍I'm from kerala
I did same method for a pair of jeans I thrifted and turned into a skirt. Only thing I didn’t do was the elastic.

you are right, back seam harder, I do not recommend , but you can try on the no needed jeans
Excellent Experience Ms Thanks Take Care And Always Best Wishes
Plz can you tell about your machine name which is and in which country it is made??
Fantastic video! Your voice is so lovely too! Thank you.
I am going to show this to my tailor because last time I gave him my pants he ruined them :’> it’s a curse to have big thighs and a small waist
Wonderful, but I don't know how to use a machine
I do the exact thing but never thought to add the elastic it takes me almost a day though 😂
Значительно проще ушить сзади, работы в 2 раза меньше и пояс разрезать только в одном месте. И боковые швы не уйдут назад.
Thank you for sharing your amazing work.
I wish that was my problem 🤣🤣🤣🌮🍔🍕 however, it looks seamless, great method
🤚🏻😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Very nice work 👍 strong machine. Can you tell me what is name of your machine?

Excellent instruction. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent option.
This is exactly how professionals do it
Thankyou so much this video is very helpful!
Very professional 👌
Did not understand the part about the elastic, where exactly it went, the purpose of it.
It’s good, I did it at the back seam .
I’m confused about where do you cut the waist band. How far from the side seam?. Do you cut just in one place or in two places?
Well explained! Good work
