Just a quick note: Doing this will definitely shorten the length of your jeans so I highly recommend using jeans that have a bit more length than you need, that way when you convert them they’re not too short to wear lol. Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks for the side note ~ I was wondering if it would affect the length. I am going to try your method - You make it look so easy to do & your instructions are clear. Ps. Ignore the negative comments. Some people just like to find fault no matter what.
those jeans were mid-rise and looked better than those high-waisted monstrosities. That trend will hopefully die soon. . who wants that much fabric over the belly button? (eye roll)
Me to i don't think that she could help me out with a good pair of my jeans to fit me right i would like to get together with her and she can help me with that
WOAH i feel like everyone's so chill about this, i never knew this was possible this is AMAZING I'm gonna turn all my mid 2000s low waisted jeans at least mid waist or high waist now!! thank you for this!! 😍😍
I have many pairs of low-waisted - and wasted jeans hanging in my closet, and I have a long rise as I am long waisted. Some of these jeans are not that long in length, either, so I am debating on cutting up a pair to see if I can make use of what's in my closet.
Unless you have perfectly toned muscles in your midsection, low waisted and mid waisted jeans will always make something hang over the top of your jeans. I think whoever invented the low rise and mid rise jeans either 1. Had a perfect body with perfectly toned muscles or 2.just hated women. I can't decide. Thank goodness high rise jeans are in style.
I blame low-waisted jeans for my permanent muffin-top (even without pants on.) When I was pregnant, I wore them, bc they sat below my growing belly. Unfortunately, my skin became trained to lay flat under my jeans and stretch (grow) above them. There is def a reason they sell maternity pants!!! Def worth the investment!!! I learned this the hard way 💯 😥
Absolutely right! I think it's both, maybe more of #1 because by default they got into design because most clothing looked good on them so it was easy to love clothes. Maybe? I'm old enough to remember the low waists - or hipsters jeans from the '70's and they didn't look good on me then either. But the tall willowy - aka skinny - women/girls looked like they were born to wear them.
the early 2000s was a different type of time, low waisted, FLARED jeans 😱😱😱 yikes! i dont know how skinnys werent a thing back then , if they were maybe i wouldnt have had to burn all my photos from high school!😂
@@gellotion Lol yes they are in style. :P They may look awkward on *you* but a lot of women they flatter. Women with more straight/rectangular body shape look good in low waist jeans but those with larger bum/curves/more hourglass shape *usually* look better in high (and mid) waist jeans. It all depends on the body type. I look weird in low waist but high waist flatters my shape. Also, it has nothing to do with being over weight or not like I saw someone here suggesting. Just like some girl will look great in one type of dress but it doesn't look as good for another girl.
I’ve been a seamstress for over 50 years, and I draft my own patterns. In my opinion, your modification looks ok, but taking that much fabric out at the crotch would make the jeans very uncomfortable to wear. They would pinch.
@@Iamrahcole do the cut as it was the original. Same curb but lower. I believe she cut off the curb that its like a (¿ ) form to do this(|). Sorry I couldn't find a better way to explain. Cutting off that little curb will make your legs tide and with not form you can see on her front part in between the legs how tide it is..
Totally agree! Also this cut will shorten the legs of those jeans. So if you want to be able to sit in your jeans, don't do this. She didn't dublicate the over stiching on the seams, which looks cheap.
@@Iamrahcole There are no suggestions. Please see my comment in this discussion. Low(mid)-waist and high-waist patterns are totally different. By cutting away fabric at the crotch you automatically making them pinched and distorted around that area. If you don't mind a clearly noticeable camel-toe, and as long as the fabric has a substantial amount of stretch, go for it. Otherwise, it's a "No" from me. You need either to buy high-waisted jeans or sew them from scratch.
I am 80. I am 4ft 10 in tall! I have had to sew all my life to have clorthes that fir. I designed my entire wardrobe and altered patterns for ever.. but GIRL.. this blew me away!!!!!!!!! How clever thou art!
So many women like the low waisted jeans but so few wear them well. High waisted hides a tummy and goodbye muffin tops. I'm with you -- high waisted only!!
honestly liking low rise, mid rise, or high rise jeans is just a preference. and u r body shaming by saying that so many women don't wear low waisted jeans well because you can see their stomach fat. stomach fat is natural, if u r bothered by it then ok, but it is not ur body. if women want to wear low waisted jeans, let them it doesn't hurt you. women having stomach fat and still wearing low waisted jeans is not "them not wearing them well". for example, you aren't going to tell someone they can't wear a bikini because they don't have a perfectly toned body, because all body types are different, and most of them aren't skinny, but all of them are beautiful.
I never knew this could be done. I run into pants being too low on the waist even when they are high waisted, so this is wonderful! I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. Thank you!
I’am 5’4 with a short torso so high rise jeans look awful on me! So I’m a mid rise jeans kinda girl as long as I pinch in the waist a little my butt crack doesn’t show.I also think the mid rise compliments your body type. But way back in the day I rocked the low rise hip huggers my abs were in full affect lol
Just to let you know... Invert the seam ripper. The ball is intended to protect the fabric from tears. You will find it works seamlessly. (Pun intended) :)
i think that could be solved by leaving more fabric on one side, folding it over and sewing over it, so it looks similar to the original seam. and also it's worth changing the zipper to a longer one (or just lenghtening that part to look like a longer zipper), it makes the crotch area look better :D
HELP! the tutorial is very good. Easy to follow. But as I thought my thighs now are super tight and the jeans are very uncomfortable. Any tips on that?
Incredible! I can't wait to try this on several pairs of jeans that I love (but never wear because of this problem!) You've just taught an old lady something new & I'm sooooooo happy to feel the little spark of life that's still left in me! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'm "liking" "sharing" (then "loving") & of course subscribing.❤
The back of the fixed jeans look weird because the seam stops in a very unflattering place. It may work better on a pair of pants without the flat seam.
You need to open more of the back seam so you can blend the curves together better, and then redo with a proper run and fell seam so it matches the rest.
You are a miracle worker I went straight to my cupboard pulled out a whole lot of jeans that I couldn't wear before and now I have a full new wardrobe...thanks a whole bunch. Will be looking out for more of your miracle.
OMG 😍😍😍😍 you came to save me 😍😍😍😍 thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you're the absolutely best person out there ❤️❤️❤️❤️ like honestly I'm so happy rn 💕💕💕💕💕 thank you so so so soooo much
Latifa Begum how do you recommend she completely change the stitching of some jeans so they become high waisted? Of course it’s not going to be easy if you’ve never sewn before, but if you have you could follow this pretty damn easily
Matilda I love you. You’re God sent. I was gifted a pair of low rise jeans today and was wondering how I would go about making it high waisted. And then your video popped up on my feed. Keep doing what you do. 💕
A friendly hello from the U.S., Ms. Wizardry...This is absolutely *G E N I U S* ....I've been sewing for 55 years, & NEVER would I have thought of this masterful idea, & I'm literally shocked at the simplicity of it...I can't wait to try this out on my multitude of Jeans since I'm at the "age," where low waisted is no longer "cool." HaHaHa (BTW, you did such a great job on this tutorial, & LOVE the way you encourage folks to relax & take their time".......Big Hugs, Poppy
I'm trying this right now but I have no clue why we are cutting this piece off. Couldn't we doo that later? It looks like taking fabric away. I'm worried Edit: k, so I'm sewing now. I can't use the machine right now so i'm doing it by hand on a denim wish me luck Edit 2: Okay it worked! Juts follow the tutorial. I measured with my eyes. I haven't worn them yet (for a full day to see if they rip) but I'll try them tmr.
I just did this on my beautiful pants that I never use because they’re to low, and it turned out so good! Ur literally the savior for jeans lol! Love ya
I am going to try this! I highly recommend people with thicker thighs or that do alot of bending to take this opportunity to reinforce this seam by finishing the crotch seam with a top stitch and zig zag stitch, (or if you have the time and hand needle finesses, a french hem) and consider adding a saddle or facing ribbon along the crotch seam. Please remember to press your seam after stitching! We want our clothes to be flawless as long as possible too :)
@@SSNUTHIN I'm not having any discomfort problems as I wouldn't want to try this but I am just surprised that people aren't thinking this through before they cut and think the seams are ripping open when they sit solely because they didn't use a strong enough thread. No, they rip open because there's not enough fabric left and if you double stitch it and use the strongest thread in the world so the seam itself doesn't rip, firstly the jeans are not going to be comfortable to sit in and secondly the stitching will, over time, pull badly on the fabric. As an experienced seamstress and pattern cutter I understand that jeans which sit and fit well two inches below the waist can't possibly be as well fitting and comfortable after you have cut away the extra fabric which gives the ease for that comfort. I'm not saying it doesn't work 'in some cases' but those will be where there was either a lot of ease in the fit before the adaptation was made and/or there is a lot of stretch in the fabric.
@@laceandbits Oh yes that makes sense. I definitely wouldn't recommend this with a pair of pants that fit snug. While not stated on this tutorial, most "upcycle" tutorials skip these concerns by recommending that the source garment you use be oversized. That way there is less need for the precise measuring one would use pattern drafting. If people are experiencing discomfort from their attempts to follow the tutorial they will definitely come back to complain, so you may find yourself vindicated.
As everyone noticed, some of the leg is converted to increase the length at the waist, I'm assuming the fit could get a bit uncomfortable on the legs, thighs specifically. The leg of the pant becomes narrower as you go lower especially as you go higher in pant size. I'm still going to try it and see how it works! Thanks 😊
This is genius! I'm terrible at sewing unless it's quilting, but thanks to you I think I can fix and finally get to wear all the low waisted jeans I have. Thank you for this; you're awesome!
This tutorial was really a good one.i tried it and was quite pleased.have you done one where the seam is double stitch on the outer part like a jeans one.
Low rise Jean's are the mortal enemy of the black woman. Unless you have a pancake butt and mo hips it is impossible to not look like a bag of spuds in them. Hooray for the high waist!
Thank you so much! I hate low waisted and mid waisted jeans. Not attractive on my body. Now I can buy mid waist (which are too long) and turn them into high waisted. Who would have dreamed it was so easy! Can't thank you enough. Your instructions and demonstration are easy to follow, and this can be done rather quickly.
Me while cutting the jeans: it's a loose fit that's okay I'll cut more Trying the jeans on after I've finished: oops forgot about those lockdown pounds :(
Lol this has happened to all of us 🥲 Just make a new pair to fit your new fabulous body. Bodies change, we just survived a panorama and that in itself is a huggggeee achievement 💕
I bet you did like low waisted jeans (devil's spawn) until they went out of fashion! Reading the other posts, where it seems than no one likes them (now), so why have they been in fashion for so long? Why has it been near impossible to get jeans that actually came up to my waist for the last 15 years? Apart from the reason that they use less fabric and are therefore more profitable of course which is the same syndrome as 3/4 and 7/8 sleeve lengths. Surely if no one had bought them, the shops would have caught on after a year or two.
😲😲😲. How ???. How is this even possible ?…. You have a pair of jeans that are low on your waist ….. you cut fabric ‘OFF’. And they end up longer ?..?. FABRIC WIZARDRY is right ….. genius …. 😲.
Just a quick note: Doing this will definitely shorten the length of your jeans so I highly recommend using jeans that have a bit more length than you need, that way when you convert them they’re not too short to wear lol.

Lisa Lang thank you for such a positive comment, I appreciate it 💕
Fashion Wizardry love what you did! But will the pants be too tight around the thigh? How did it feel for you comparing the before and after?
I try and love it... Gonna try all my jeans...thk you so much 😍
Low waisted jeans are not big butt friendly! They will have you showing crack all over town lol
Lmao - ain’t this the truth 🤣🤣🤣
Literally happened to me when I sit down and I was wearing a fucking tight shirt
Lol
Devika Wahengbam YES!
It's like they let my tummy spill over
Can we just all agree that low rise jeans are:
1) Uncomfortable
2) Unflattering
3) And just plain ridiculous
Some women look good in them.
Gerd friendly
they look good on me! lol
those jeans were mid-rise and looked better than those high-waisted monstrosities. That trend will hopefully die soon. . who wants that much fabric over the belly button? (eye roll)

Exactly. And it’ll only work on stretchy fabrics. But still the modified pants will be tight at crotch and thighs
In my respectful opinion the mid-rise definitely complimented your shape better.
But this was with no shirt.
I agree!
Low waist pants a bit uncomfortable and Everytime u sit the pant go down to your butt. Also make your figure odd. Specially for big booty .

I do too, it made her look like she had a shape.
I think so but still it's show from back ' -'
@@hessaa1712 well I think it doesn't give her bum shape, it makes it look like a ball and squeeze down her hips.
I agree with you. The midrise looked great on her. The high waist didn't give her as nice a shape and definition and it looks weird in the crotch area

This is truly wizardry. I had no idea it could be done this way. You are awesome! 🤗
It can't. Doesn't work like that. When she cut that piece of fabric front and back, I cringed.
Fantastic!! I've been sewing for years and I would never have thought of this!! Thank you so much! 🌞
Omg! Thank you! Now my grown children can stop calling my jeans ‘granny jeans’!
I like the idea but I feel it makes the crotch look weird with the short zipper.

This works like magic! It's amazing and I'm so happy with my results, already change like 4 pairs, thank you soooooo much 🤩🤩🤩🤩
The back with the different stitching looks so bad though..
H N so true. It was a shoddy job
Yes there horrible🤨

I tried this method and it works just sew the seam on good way and take your time
I seam ripped the entire back part and resewed it so it would all be the same stitching and this ended up looking good as well :)
Thank you So Very Much!! I much prefer my high wasted jeans. Great job on this lesson for us. (new subscriber now.
So interesting how these used to be called "mom jeans". My kids made fun of me for so long and now who's laughing!! 😂😂

Say it louder for the people in the back 🗣🗣 high waisted jeans forever 💪🏽
I'm trying this right now but I have no clue why we are cutting this piece off. Couldn't we doo that later? It looks like taking fabric away. I'm worried
Edit:
k, so I'm sewing now. I can't use the machine right now so i'm doing it by hand on a denim wish me luck
Edit 2:
Okay it worked! Juts follow the tutorial. I measured with my eyes. I haven't worn them yet (for a full day to see if they rip) but I'll try them tmr.
Great idea, but... they do not look as good from the back after you altered them.
Yeah I agree 😅
I could be because the seam with the "double stitching" stops where she started her seam
The front looks weird to me. But the idea is good in theory.
It was creating a low vagina look in the front. (But still very creative way to fix jeans.)
I just did this on my beautiful pants that I never use because they’re to low, and it turned out so good! Ur literally the savior for jeans lol! Love ya
This makes me so happy to hear!😁❤️
Now go enjoy your fab high waisted jeans :)
I've been looking for this since i was in secondary school omg you are so talented
❤️❤️
whoever invented low waisted jeans was probably like "oh i know what will make these jeans extra special..... i'll just make them look a bit shit (:"
The video I didn’t know I needed in my life ✨ I can’t wait to do this to all of my low waisted jeans collecting dust in my dresser
"Just take things slow and enjoy everything." A very timely nugget of advice for me. Thank you young lady!
you just saved my life LMAO
I got you girl 💪🏽
You still needed a longer waisted Jean's to get rid of that camel toes which is standing out crazy!
You can add a lacy edging to make up the length. My aunt taught me that one. Looks cute on a pair of cut-offs too.
Amazingg ideaa😍😍 what an underrated comment🥺❤️
That's a great idea!
The only problem that after doing this the jeans gonna be shorter
thank god i have rlly short legs so all my jeans are long on me anyway
@@nurailidepaepe2783 me too but some jeans are already short so
They look weird after.....doesen't fit u nice 😬
Ana Anna well that’s not very nice
The worst looking alteration ever! The fabric is not there to recreate a proper crotch seam. Any patternmaker would tell you Forget IT.
That's is? No adding more fabric? How does this even work? You are a wizard for sure...
Thank u so much!! This really helped
I am going to try this! I highly recommend people with thicker thighs or that do alot of bending to take this opportunity to reinforce this seam by finishing the crotch seam with a top stitch and zig zag stitch, (or if you have the time and hand needle finesses, a french hem) and consider adding a saddle or facing ribbon along the crotch seam. Please remember to press your seam after stitching! We want our clothes to be flawless as long as possible too :)
I was thinking a layer of interfacing would also help keep the seam strong. :)
And accept that you will never again sit in comfort in this pair of jeans
@@laceandbits I'm sorry you're having discomfort problems with your jeans and I hope you are able to modify or make a process that works for you.

As everyone noticed, some of the leg is converted to increase the length at the waist, I'm assuming the fit could get a bit uncomfortable on the legs, thighs specifically. The leg of the pant becomes narrower as you go lower especially as you go higher in pant size. I'm still going to try it and see how it works! Thanks 😊
I wonder if a gusset could be added to make up for the difference
Y en mos gluteos tambien se achica much
Bless you and your channel! Love a refashion, creative queen! 🙌🏽

I was waiting for this video, thanks for uploading it🦋🌻

Turn a pair of very low waist Levi's into super high waisted Jean ! Amazing I'm so happy, and it was so easy ! Thanks !!!
I definitely prefer low waist jeans (not super low) 🤷🏻♀️ I can’t be the only one lol
You’re not the only one I’m sure. To each their own, no judgement 🤷🏽♀️
It looks good in some tipes of body!
excellent. That mod had never and would never have occurred to me! it's hard to believe it works -- but it shouldn't be. such a clean transformation.
That’s the most usefull video ever ! Thank you so much ! ❤️❤️❤️
You’re welcome :)
I cut my jeans and then realize I don't have a sewing machine
Nice! An upload on my birthday!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Aw, happy birthday lovely! Cheers to many more years!! 🎁🎊🎂❤️
@@FashionWizardry Thank you so much! 😋😋
This is genius! I'm terrible at sewing unless it's quilting, but thanks to you I think I can fix and finally get to wear all the low waisted jeans I have. Thank you for this; you're awesome!
i've been wondering if this would work for so long but i dont have enough pants to risk experimenting! so glad to see it works. thanks for the video!
You’re welcome!❤️
It doesn't work! Look at the finished project.
Thankyou for the video you just saved many un used jeans here👏🏻
I’m so tall, all of my jeans are too short already I can’t make them even shorter😭
just cuff them at the bottom to make it look purposeful!!
buy long ones
@@MadeleineHenderson then I might as well buy high waist ones🥴
I must try this 🥰😋
🥰❤️
😍😍
this was such a clear tutorial thank you!! i also love the leaf pins theyre so cute
This tutorial was really a good one.i tried it and was quite pleased.have you done one where the seam is double stitch on the outer part like a jeans one.
Low rise Jean's are the mortal enemy of the black woman. Unless you have a pancake butt and mo hips it is impossible to not look like a bag of spuds in them. Hooray for the high waist!
It was really nice to see how to do this, but the jeans looked way better on you before you altered them...
never have i ever been able to find high waist jeans that actually make it over my bum. you changed a life today. 💜
I'm so happy to come across your videos! So funny, cute and enjoyable!
I have a personal hatred for low rise jeans. Why do they exist? I dont know anyone who likes them. Does anyone like them?
In such way it's hard to avoid the camel toe tho.. 😞
2mins silent for those who have cut their new jeans in sense to make it high waist
Thank you so much! I hate low waisted and mid waisted jeans. Not attractive on my body. Now I can buy mid waist (which are too long) and turn them into high waisted. Who would have dreamed it was so easy! Can't thank you enough. Your instructions and demonstration are easy to follow, and this can be done rather quickly.
Amazing!!! I love it.
😭😲😧Ужас! Испортила брюки. Она не сможет в них и шагу ступить. Сядет ишвы разойдутся.😂😂😂😂
Ahhhh thank you so much for this I’m doing this to my low waisted shorts
I have UNNATURALLY long hips and this is the video I never knew I needed. Your saving lives with this content
You’re amazing! I love your style. Do you work out too? Cos we need the workout routine 😩💞
Thank you ❤️
Yes, I do work out - currently doing Insanity lol & I’ve been cycling a lot lately too
Muy bien explicado un saludo hermosa desde Ecuador 🇪🇨 y que tengas una feliz navidad 🎅
Definitely going to try!
Me while cutting the jeans: it's a loose fit that's okay I'll cut more
Trying the jeans on after I've finished: oops forgot about those lockdown pounds :(
Lol this has happened to all of us 🥲
Just make a new pair to fit your new fabulous body. Bodies change, we just survived a panorama and that in itself is a huggggeee achievement 💕
The devil’s spawn😂
why??
I bet you did like low waisted jeans (devil's spawn) until they went out of fashion!
Reading the other posts, where it seems than no one likes them (now), so why have they been in fashion for so long? Why has it been near impossible to get jeans that actually came up to my waist for the last 15 years? Apart from the reason that they use less fabric and are therefore more profitable of course which is the same syndrome as 3/4 and 7/8 sleeve lengths. Surely if no one had bought them, the shops would have caught on after a year or two.
Can I just mail you them🥺 I’m so scared to cut my jeans 🥺🥺🥺
I have got so many low waisted jeans which don't look flattering on me, I am going to try this transformation 💃💃💃 thank you.
You’re welcome 😊❤️
Does this make the jeans tighter?
😲😲😲. How ???. How is this even possible ?…. You have a pair of jeans that are low on your waist ….. you cut fabric ‘OFF’. And they end up longer ?..?. FABRIC WIZARDRY is right ….. genius …. 😲.
