How to Alter Pants

- In this video, I show how to alter a pair of pants to fit better. I start by sizing down my own a pair of pants. Then, I detail how I would size them up using the exact same procedure but adding instead of taking away.

I wish I would've found your channel sooner, so many great tips.
You're here now and that's all that matters :)
I hope Editing Corn is as appreciative of you as you are of him.
Let's just say he's best as a "behind the camera" type :)
I like all the Corns! Editing, Earlier, Song master, sewist - all! Thanks for your vids!
Oh nice, If they're going over well, I may allow a few more pop-up on screen. There's many and they've all been begging.
Seems like a pretty dramatic weight loss, there. Hope you're OK.
Now that I think about it, I can see how it might appear worrying. I'm better than ever. My folks are of the lean variety. I appreciate the concern.
This was great! Thanks!
Another topic - I watched your playlist filmed with your mother, and I cried with laughter again and again. Laughing out loud - literally - is something I rarely do on my own, but you really helped make a blue day sunny!
oh wonderful, I'm glad that you enjoy those videos. They're a lot of fun to make and I'm happy they lifted your mood. Best wishes.
Thank you for this, I have more than a few pairs I've have been needing to alter.
I hope you get around to it. It's satisfying to put them on after.
same. Have a pair that I would love to wear come fall.
I tried them on, knew they were too big, knew my mom used to alter my pants quite often and my great aunt used to just sew clothing anyway and that downsizing was less problematic than upsizing and bought them..
they're still just sitting in my closet, never worn
Great video man! Just getting into sewing and this was incredibly helpful. Thank you!!
I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching.
I can't believe this Corn. Your timing is impeccable 😂😂❤❤
I try :) Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
Fantastic tutorial, thank you!
Thank you and thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
Nice resultant. And good video😊
Thank you and thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
Thank you Cornelius ❤
🤠🙏🏻
Very helpful, thank you
I'm glad to hear it.
😂 the sign off 👌 Thank you for another super helpful tutorial! I’m going to be upsizing some brand new Lucy and Yak jeans that were on sale for £5 because there is a tear in the crotch. I can easily sort that. I’ll add in some contrast stripes down the sides (which I just learned I can do thanks to you!!!) and maybe add some handmade patches and appliqués. I’m gonna look fancy AF 🙌 💅
You're gonna look extra fancy indeed! I like the idea of the patches and appliqués. It'll lean even further into the intentional aspect. Thanks for watching and happy sewing.
Really great video. I've always been afraid to tackle resizing pants but I recently made a simple pair for a festival that has taken a bit of the mystique away
I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. I have full faith in your ability to resize your pants.
Hair loss, weight loss?? Been a huge fan of yours and learned a lot from you over the past year. Hope you’re ok sending digital hugs 🫂 from the states….
Putting the 2 together, I see how it could be of concern. All good on my end. I come from a lean folk who loose weight more than gain. I appreciate the care and sending love back your way.
Thank you, Cornelius! I was thinking of resizing my pants both bigger for me, and smaller for my boyfriend 😅 and I was curious if I’m going in the right way with my thoughts on how to do that. And your video is brilliant and very encouraging
oh wonderful, I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
Shaved head looks great!
Why thank you very much :)
JSYK the chapter markers for up & down are switched!
Good catch. Thanks for the heads up, I've swapped them around correctly.
I'm sure it's a big project, but I'd love to see a tutorial on sewing a Sherwani.
I just learned a new word: Sherwani :) Thank you for the suggestion, I will consider it for a future video.
انت رائع ، اعجبني الفيديو ، سوف نجرب هذا
يسعدني أن أسمع أن الفيديو الخاص بي كان مفيدًا لك. شكرا للمشاهدة.
Can you run over the crotch fit? I've got a few pairs of pants I want to take in and I feel like the waist is the least of my worries 😅
I will consider said video. Thank you for the suggestion and thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
What is that tool you were using to transfer measurements? Great vid:)
Seam ruler, it has a moveable marker to set at whatever your seam allowance is.
What @BariumCobaltNitrog3n said. I personally call it a sewing gauge, but then most things have multiple names :)
@@CorneliusQuiring Sewing gauge! Yes. I just looked at mine, that's what it says.
👍👍👍
🤠🙏🏻
Might be worth shaping the seat a lil bit but thats just nitpicking. Good job 👍
This was something I was grappling with after making the video. I was definitely pushing the limits of just a waist taper at 4 inches. Is it worth the time investment reworking the full waist & thigh vs starting with a fresh pair with a better fitting overall pattern? I appreciate your attention to detail and discussions of them.
Can anyone please advise me, If you have a dart in the front of a bodice and a dart lessens the material, do you have to add a dart in the back bodice so the hems line up for stitching? Many Thanks
Adding a dart in the front will made the side seam move forward a bit yes. You do also want the dart in the back regardless so that there's a taper for your lower back/upper butt. I'm not quite sure what you mean by this effecting the hem at the bottom of the pants, but hopefully my answer is informative for you to make adjustments as needed.
This is NOT the place to ask for help with patron ! bUT!!! Where do I send email or however I get help. Thanks so much.
I see you have joined over on Patreon so feel free to message me there. Alternatively, feel free to contact me through my website.cornelius.ooo/send-me-a-message/
Thanks for answering! I will send you a message. I'm actually waiting for my son to help me! Its more of a visual problem. I want the next level up . I lost all my sight but new modern surgery has given me back much! I still need computer glasses! Lol at 650 dollars for each pair I have prioritize! Reading...sewing...long arm quilting. Lol ill get there in about six weeks!
Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. It's great to get to hear about the folks watching my content. I appreciate the support as always and yikes, that's a lot of money for glasses but glad to hear you did get the surgery.
Do you have a course one can take to learn sewing?
Not yet, but I've considered making one. I appreciate the interest.
@@CorneliusQuiring you should mate, I'm one on the waiting list
Swann s est fait raser les cheveux madame verdirons ne va pas apprécier
Je viens d'avoir un aperçu de la littérature française :)
@@CorneliusQuiring il s agit bien sûr de madame verdurin mais je pense que vous avez corrigé le correcteur. Merci de me répondre amicalement votre
