    This is among the most informative videos i've ever watched about downsizing jeans! It's like all the techniques the other channels featured in their videos has been merged into one

    Great video. I wanted to see the results of the back pocket area and the dart - but your hands were in the pockets so we could not see. And on the sides, where you cut away fabric at the hips - I noticed the little rivet was still there - so I wonder how you could run the Serger along that line, since the rivet was going to be in the way - but in the final result, it seemed like it moved inward, closer to the midline. However, I really liked how you worked your magic. Your sewing skills are very, very good.

    I bought a 3xl for $3 and I want to make it my size. Anxiety tells me I can't do it so I'm here to reassure myself lol.
    Anyway thanks for the video.

    You didn’t show the backside ): not being perverted, I wanted to see how the darting looked, if it blended in well or not on the rear pockets. You showed the back but your hands were blocking the dart stitch you made ;;

    Great video. I did notice that the footage of the back dart showed a 6 cm width, which had been corrected in later shots. Also, you must have removed the back pockets before sewing the dart?

    • @lunarsew
      @lunarsew  3 роки тому +6

      hhhh Honestly it's not that easy you really need to pay attention to the details! well may be you should start by your less favourite pair of jeans and once you are happy with the results then you can downsize the other ones!
      PS: Sorry for the late reply I didn't see your comment!

    • @ank6675
      @ank6675 2 роки тому +1

      I wanted to see too but her hands are in the way at the end. It definitely looks as though the pockets were removed for the alterations and then replaced again at the end.

    • @chantersoncoeur
      @chantersoncoeur Рік тому

      I think you can sew the darts without removing the pockets as the large part of the dart is well above the pocket, and you fold thé fabric avoiding thé pockets

    Why not, after measuring the waste, cut the band in the center back under the loop and stitch the loop in place or do withou❤t the center back loop to keep the original button hole and button placement?🎉

    Hello, I have a pair of thick cotton camo pants that are way too big,
    I want to completely tear them down and re-sew, As I think I could do the best job doing it the long way,
    These are so thick and soft I want to save them,
    I don't think it would be too hard, any videos on this?
