I really appreciate that you do things properly! So many tutorials are about quick and easy 'hacks'. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and high standards with the world! 👏🙏🙌
So practical - I have this problem with a very similar style pants (but Iove them too much to give away), so they've been hanging in my closet for a few years 😅 Time to pull them out and hopefully give them the life they were destined for 😂 Thanks! 🎉
I have a pair of old navy pink boy friend “dockers”. They have a lapped seam. Would they be taken in similar to how you adjust jeans? Or can they be altered the same way as you demonstrate in the video?
This is just what I needed! I had to buy some cheaper work pants for a new job and most of them are just too big at the waist and need a good hem because I'm short. This was so easy to follow! Thank you!
I love how you teach! I haven't been able to find one, but do you have a video that alters pants that fit the waist, but are too big/loose in the thighs and calves?
@@erikagermann4608 I do! It’s a video called slimming down your pants or something. Let me see if I can find it.How to Take In Legs of Pants or Jeans Boot Cut to Skinny! | Sew Anastasia ua-cam.com/video/ngXWTYIpncc/v-deo.html
Thank you for this tutorial! I ordered pants/jeans as part of the Boxing Day Sales and some items were final sale and the pants/jeans were even though I ordered my “standard waist size” 😂 Happy New Year! 😊
I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful! It's always disappointing when clothing doesn't fit as expected, especially when it's final sale. Happy New Year to you too!
I have a pair of pink pants that I need to take in. I would love to see a video on making a pair of pants that fit properly. Thankyou for this tutorial.
Your videos are really inspiring me to try to breathe new life into pants that are now way too big for me. Is there a sewing machine that is beginner friendly but has the important features that will keep it useful over the long term? And this the technique to use for athleisure pants?
@@SewAnastasia yes I watched almost all your videos they super great , my problem is I got a ribbed tee not sure if I should use ribbed material or not any suggestions?
@@veroiz6672 The pockets scrunch up?! Hummmm Maybe try a different tension on your machine? You could put seam tape in the seam or a narrow strip of interfacing.
I'm thinking if you accidentally get the new fit too tight maybe it would be a good idea to sew a test seam first before cutting into the fabric. At least I can't be that confident😊 Anyway, thanx again for sharing.
What if you need to take up the waist, leg width, and length?! I'm petite but with a long body. I can never find pants that fit since I have lost weight. I can wear regular skinny or straight leg.
How incredibly sweet…I can’t believe you replied to my comment…especially when you have such a following! Now that says a lot! So thrilled that I found your channel 🩷

@@lawrencejlittle sorry it wasn’t there. It was suppose to be. My video guy is suppose to put those in. If you ever notice them not there just let me know. Sometimes it gets overlooked. Thank you for watching :)
thank you I struggle to find pants iam 51 inch around hips and 30 around waist its 20inch difference and I can't find any pants in this world I wanna learn to make it so I can make my own and make it for everyone else in my situation. if anyone has video to help me make pattern for body like me please share .
Thank you for sharing your struggle! It can be really frustrating when you can't find pants that fit properly. Learning to make your own sounds like a fantastic idea!

Very welcome. I do enjoy a good hack sometimes but doing it properly makes the garment look so much better & last longer :) Thank you for watching :)
Absolutely 💯
Came to say this. ❤

I just watched your Jean video. I think that answers my question. Should have checked there first. Thanks!
@@bethjohnson9256 I would use the Jean video because of the lapped seam.
Ur video is clear and well explained not.like others ..from.philippine

Yes I think that I might make a whole series on making pants & fitting
Wow!! Great video! Thank you ❤
Welcome 🤗
I would like to get started on following your video’s based on sewing I do have one question what kind of sewing Machine would be best for this job
@@user-yz8fy5fv2k I use Viking machines in my studio. They are great.
nice. i am going to try this
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you found it useful-can’t wait to hear how your pants turn out!
You could put the trousers on back to front to pin it ?
@@Gleamingsoul777 Not really because you are differently shaped front to back so you wouldn’t be taking it in the proper amount.
@@SewAnastasia yep that was an after thought for me 🤣🤣🤣
@@Gleamingsoul777 lol all good 😊
Your videos are really inspiring me to try to breathe new life into pants that are now way too big for me. Is there a sewing machine that is beginner friendly but has the important features that will keep it useful over the long term? And this the technique to use for athleisure pants?
Just about any sewing machine will do. It really depends on your budget. I would try your local sewing machine dealer and test some out.
@@SewAnastasia Thanks! I'll have to see if I can find a local shop.
Could this technique be used on pants with elastic in the back of the waist band? Thanks!
@@JessieJones-b4k Totally!
You are brilliant! Thank you.
Happy to help!
I bought a ribbed tee that is too small how do I alter it to make it bigger thankz love your content
I have a few videos on making things bigger. I just did a t shirt one a month ago if you take a look at my past videos.
@@SewAnastasia yes I watched almost all your videos they super great , my problem is I got a ribbed tee not sure if I should use ribbed material or not any suggestions?
You’re amazing 😩😍🥰 I wish I could do what you do but for mens clothes 😢
You totally can!
@@SewAnastasia do you give lessons for mens clothing?
Hi can u do this for denim jeans? Can u pls show how? Thanks
I have a video for it here ua-cam.com/video/isBSZK-U6Zc/v-deo.html
Great tutorial!
When ever I take in the waistband and seat my pockets look funny and scrunch up ?
Anyway to fix that or do something different?
@@veroiz6672 The pockets scrunch up?! Hummmm Maybe try a different tension on your machine? You could put seam tape in the seam or a narrow strip of interfacing.
Is there a hack to make low or medium rise jeans into a higher rise jean?
Yes, but you will lose length in the legs.
You are awesome thank you
Thank you for watching
I'm thinking if you accidentally get the new fit too tight maybe it would be a good idea to sew a test seam first before cutting into the fabric. At least I can't be that confident😊 Anyway, thanx again for sharing.
Oh yeah totally. I mentioned that in the video. You should try them on before you cut anything off & sew them back together. Thanks for watching.
What if you need to take up the waist, leg width, and length?! I'm petite but with a long body. I can never find pants that fit since I have lost weight. I can wear regular skinny or straight leg.
LIke you need the waistband higher? The rest of the pant alterations I have videos on if you go search on my channel.
@@SewAnastasia ok. I have short skinny legs with bump in the rear. It’s so hard to find petite sizes
AMAZING
@@lucybickerton4573 Thanks!
Super❤
@@matildaefrosi6689 Thanks!
A LARGE PAPERCLIP
Clamp style--- would work for marking.
Good call!
wow where do you get those gorgeous rings?!
@@pinapplekitty They are from my husband. 💖
How did you pin it like that exactly instead of pining it just inside of the pants when checking right sizes
Just as I show in the video.
Nicely done!!
Thank you! Cheers!
How incredibly sweet…I can’t believe you replied to my comment…especially when you have such a following! Now that says a lot! So thrilled that I found your channel 🩷
Smart ❤
@@MariaDavids-db2pt Thanks for watching.
Can skiny jeans be made into flared jeans?
Indeed!
Genuine question. If I leave the pants fabric in but cut the waistband, how would I let it back out?
You would still have a seam there & it would never fully be the original length
please do how to turn a v neck dress into a square neck dress
Ok. I do have some videos on changing necklines. I did a scoop into a V & you can follow the same instructions for a square neckline.

@@Ajmayjay That’s interesting. Great color right?!
Mmm, I don’t know…those side pockets sticking out like that. I would reduce at the back and at the sides
Yeah that’s how dickies pants pockets are
