This was so fun to watch, and you did an excellent job of showing us just how you do it. They really turned out good...and you are so adorable. thx much!
I’m glad you enjoyed!
I love it
No sabe explicar
wow this probably would take me a month to do ahahahah. I love the result you ended up with! also, I think white thread on jeans looks very pretty. super helpful video :)
i stole my dads jeans and i’m taking off EIGHT inches 😥 wish me luck guys
Good luck!!
Girl get back to your CZcams channel, i need tutorials 👏❤
Thank you! Big help!
I’m so glad you took 7 inches off this pair of jeans!! I have a pair of men’s red Levi’s that I thrifted but they are WAY too big and I had no idea how to go about tailoring them since so many videos only show taking an inch off the waist. Thank you for showing me it’s possible to make my HUGE jeans fit!!
Wait can you explain how to do the math?
Im super exitex to try this
Ive watched this video once and have convinced myself i can do it hahaha… wish me luck!
Good luck!!
Great tutorial ! I’m makin a pair of skater shorts from my hubbys old jeans, hope they turn out as great as yours!
I love your industrial machine!
Thanks!! It was my aunts from the 80s (I think)!!
off to get a sewing machine
11:08 I really wish that there was an explanation as to why we are even doing this part, and how to do it. Cause I’m ab to mess it up
How did it go? Any tips?
I am so confused 🥲
Do you use a special needle?
I use a size 16 needle, but you can buy that at any craft store!
For the seams that are just "denim to denim" and not distressed, you can use some light sandpaper to distress along the seams and make it look more natural
I’m glad I found this in an to alter 120$ jeans
loved this!! ive never altared smth before but i recently lost weight and my favorite jeans are too big now and i dont wanna give them up... im gonna get a practice pants from the thrift shop and use this video!!
Came here like everyone else for the crotch part, made a jumpsuit from a dress and can’t get the crotch right 😩
I rather pay a tailor. Nothing easy about it or fast.
then get off the video and do that?
U talked too much,we never saw anything
Very cute creation!
I don’t know if you’ll see this but what did you do with the extra fabric from stitching in the darts? Did you cut the extra fabric off? If you didn’t does it feel bunched up on the inside?
Hi! I folded them and stitched them down when I sewed the waistband back on. If you would like another view of it, my other altering (Jean shorts) video has it more clearly pointed out!
Well done 😂 I love your vibe ❤
How to turn on the size 27 Jean into a 000😂😂😂
I love this! I just bought a jumpsuit even though I'm.petite 🫣 and now I’m in the situation I knew I was going to be in 😅
I hope the video helps!!
One of the precise and accurate tutorials indeed! Thanks for sharing!
3 year old video is going to make my size 17 BT21 impulse buy pants usable
I need to learn to do this. Cause my butt and thigh is so much bitter than my waist. Very detailed and thorough
Great job, very informative!
I found that making the darts too long, as in to the bottom of the pocket, my butt looked flat. Going halfway down the pocket made a nice butt flattering dart.
Thank you for pointing this out!! This curve of my butt hits mid/low pocket, but it will be different for everyone!
hey is this okay to use on corduroy?
Yup! It just may be a bit more noticeable since there are very distinct lines in the corduroy
Good morning, this video was found as recently a Jumpsuit was aquired which is too small and my hope is to edit it to fit. Your video was brilliant even if not the answer to the problem it was great to watch you work, smile and get a good result. Well done and cheers from your heavenly brother Charles Andrew Oyedele Ososami Lord of the Apocalypse with the grace and for the glory of God on the 11th of January On Holy Apocalypse day 1493 in the Revelation of God the son Holy 1 King Christ the grail, zeal and soul of Jesus in the flesh Holy Warrior A38man the living word of God Amen. Peace.
Wow! What an excellent job you have done 🤗 I wonder if I can emulate this 😁
This is awesome!! Do you go to Columbia?? I just graduated and started getting into sewing as my postgrad hobby!
I’m at Barnard!! And what a great hobby to pick up (I may be biased lol 🤧)
This video is an absolute godsend, thank you for being so clear and thorough, my jeans are PERFECTION!!!!!! I even did the original hem trick at the end! So happy.
i used this for my first sewing project ever and it came out so good. this was so helpful literally 10/10 video 🫶🏾
Good job! It looks much better and looks great on you.
This tutorial was amazing! I was needing a pair taken in and got really lucky that you were taking in the same measurements. Thank you for putting this out there, I can't wait to wear my nicely fitted jeans now :)
A beautiful skirt, but the steps aren't clear...the maths, so not clear
The baggy Esprit jeans I want to alter are too large in the waist and the hips/legs, by about 3 inches. Can I just bring in the centre back seam and the side seams or should I do darts? I love the high waist and loose legs otherwise. Thinking about it further, I guess that altering the back centre seam will bring the back pockets closer together.🙁 I think that seam above the pockets is called the yoke. So, the little copper pocket stud was lost in the hip alteration?
Hey! The center back seam is a flat felled seam, so it would be possible to take it out from the back, but you would not be able to do darts like I did in the video. There are some videos online showing you how to do that if you would like to try it out, but I personally don’t like the way it looks, so I developed the way that I show in the video! And thank you for letting me know it’s called a yoke! And yes, the bracket will be tucked away on the inside of the jeans
@@storifulcreationsI like the darts. Mine turned out nicely!
Following along right now. This video is so clutch!! Thank you for taking the time 🫶🏽
Working on the same but I unripped every thing bad idea lol
Oh, you made me laugh out loud when you put those oversized jeans on. That’s what I’m facing. Heavy denim, high rise, wide leg, several sizes too big.
Thnx fr explaining it properly 👏👍
Excellent; just what I needed for several pairs of Levi 501s (BEST jeans ever and I used to design/manufacture jeans <not Levis>) after losing nearly 50lbst! Do you have a similar video where you also decrease the rise (especially front rise)? Thanks so much.... subscribing.
Hello! The front rise is dependent on the zipper/buttons and placement of pockets, so that would be a project beyond my ability. I will take a look, but I think it will be much more complicated than taking in the wasit
Out of all of the professional videos that I've watched - yours made the most sense! Not for beginners but for us intermediate sewers this was perfect! ❤
This is so impressive. I don't even know where to start. I've done a few sewing classes in the past and occasionally I hand stitch the sides of my pants to make them fit my waist. But this is just SO impressive!!!! I would love to try this with a pair of my jeans in the future!!! Thank you for your video!!
