I’m experienced with using a sewing machine, I own and use three haha. I’ve mostly made bags and guitar straps haha, but I’ve never tailored my clothing. I got a pair of sweatpants and two pairs of gym pants that I need to alter and hem. I’ve watched four tutorials before this one and THIS was the best tutorial for exactly what I’m looking to do. Great stuff! Subscribed. I’ll be altering mine tomorrow or this weekend. Thank you!
It’s sweatpants season and I bought a pair of grey sweats at wal mart my size..... and I was pissed to find out they were still baggy at the bottom looking all scrubbish.. so finding this really helps
Today will be the first time ever sewing anything, going to practice tapering clownish sweatpants. Q: just a simple straight stitch is enough, don't need to match that fancy thick/wide stitch the manufacturer did?
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm loosing weight and don't want to buy new sweatpants until I drop several sizes. Saves money and no one will know it was DIY.
Excellent! GentStyle, I like your title! Will be doing this to my new over sized sweats. Like the old saying goes, if you want the job done right, DIY!
I have a squid game costume coming in the mail and the sweats are like how these started. So this being the first thing I see when I open UA-cam really helps.
Thank you so much, I am short with skinny legs and every time i order sweatpants they are huge ! too wide and too long, I will try this myself, thank You, I was searching for a video that would show me without too much talking before hand.. You're great !!
Just subbed👍🏾 I have an old sweatsuit that was popular in the early 00’s but fits more like a parachute today. Extremely baggy and way oversized...probably 2-4x my actual size. Will be trying my hand at alterations as soon as I purchase a machine. Great tutorial 👊🏾
How does shortening the rise this way affect the fit? Normally the back and front rise are different measures so I'd imagine going straight across as you did changes how it fits, but maybe not as noticeable on stretchy material like most sweatpants?
BEep Bleep just draw the lines from the crotch to the bottom of the pants! Then sew a the legs. That’s all you have to do to slim each one. No cutting involved
I’m trying to fit a pair of sweats for my boyfriend but the only thing wrong with sweats is the waist. Do you have a video for only the waist of sweatpants?
Hey Jade, you should be able to kinda follow the same principal in a way. Just start pinning the back area on the low part of the back. Like from the crotch to the top of the waist and, then sew along that line. Theres already a line in the back butt area.
I love how he doesn’t talk for the sake of talking. Everything he says and does has a purpose. Excellent video
Exactly my thoughts!
I have the worlds ugliest Walmart sweat pants in going to try this on. Glad i found this video. Got a new sewing machine and i need a simple project
Khalilah Price yess! During this quarantine is a perfect time to learn how to sew!
Did it work price?
What a great straight-to-the-point tutorial, thank you! I don’t really know how to sew but I definitely wanna try hemming my new sweatpants
You can do it!

Thank you for this video! Is it okay to eyeball where to stitch if you don't gave a reference pair of sweats?
Nina Thomas yes! Or use pins to pin first then try them on to see how they fit! Good luck
How do I go from a 4x to a 2x help please
Brilliant ❤️ Thank you. I hate baggy tracksuit bottoms.
So you cut the excess from the inseam right?
what if i dont want to remove the cuff but just slim the pants. would i just need to draw the inside line right to the bottom of the pants?
BEep Bleep just draw the lines from the crotch to the bottom of the pants! Then sew a the legs. That’s all you have to do to slim each one. No cutting involved
What if you dont have a reference pair of pants
Try them on and see how much fabric needs to be removed. Then pin them.
Will this work for jeans and suit trousers?
Can you sew this without a sewing machine? Thanks
Eilidh MacDonald yes but it takes longer
GentStyle tutorial?
I agree, the sweat pants were much too baggy to begin with, but I think they were tailored much too short for a basic cuff.
The problem is that my pp shows through the sweatpants no matter how tight I've tailored them, any solutions?
GentStyle where did you get these sweat pants from and what were the sizing on them
michael martins Walmart. These are a size medium
This is exactly how I make my skinny jeans fit better 👍
how do you tailor sweat pants with that gooch patch material ?
gooch patch material?
@@GentStyle joggers where the inseam splits in two(I found and image here imgur.com/a/aHSFEYF )
Men's joggers look best tight from the calf down. I got thin (but athletic because I run) legs so I need to taylor to fit. I need a sewing machine 😫
What type of stitching did you use
Christian Benett straight stitch.
what do you do with the waistband? did you just start sewing right under it?
KIeek not sure what your asking? The waist of ten pants wasn’t touched...
If you’re talking about the elastic cuff at the bottom, just cut it off.
This is soo great thankyou! When you are sewing the leg are you sewing the inside of the leg starting fron the crotch?
Lorna A yes right in the middle of the crotch!
@@GentStyle Ok! You've made my life so much easier by doing this video! Thanks again!!
Lorna A glad I could help! All I ask is that you subscribe! 🤣
I love your t shirt!!!🤣🤣❤❤
Thanks!
Any advice for making templates for bigger sizes?
BliimGotBeats yes just use a pair of jeans that you like the fit of. Replicate that!
