    Just got my first sewing machine. I remember in High School i purposely took sewing class to be around all the chicks but actually started liking sewing ..little did i know that one day I'd really need those skills to taper some older jeans and pants that were wider back in the day, umm MUCH WIDER...fast forward 20 years and now days I'd look like a clown wearing some of the jeans and pants i saved from the early 2000s Lol but fortunately..I found this channel to help refresh myself on how to taper.
    PS: Anyone remember that FAD where we'd roll up & tuck the bottom of the pants around the ankle? Lol

    I am loving these videos! Thanks so much! I have a pair of pants that I always just pinch and cuff to give them a tapered albeit baggy look. But I'm definitely going to try this on them soon. The video of the bowling shirt was great too. Awesome fabric choices!

    I really like the tip about the pins going in through both legs then chalk marking 2nd leg, thank you :) Only thing I would add, is to really press trousers carefully before starting, it makes any alterations much easier when things are flattened.

    I don't have a sewing machine, or much hand sewing expirence, so I'm hoping I can do good work.
    This is my first time needing to sew something, but the work pants I just bought myself were too wide to look good, so I decided to taper it. Wish me luck.

  • @DarronSmithBahamianMillionaire

    Bro that was amazing since I bought some pants on sale for $7 bucks and the tailor I found charged me $15 per pants and still cut them too short, and I now hate the four pants he messed up!! I will now get a serger and start doing my own pants. Can you use a serger alone without a sewing machine like I saw a woman do?

  • @atlma2
    @atlma2 Před 5 lety

    I'm guessing you are using a single stitch and should you overcast if you don't have a serger?

    Great video, Norris. I, personally would also serge the new inside but for those who do not have a serger I would tell them to either use pinking shears or finish with an over-edge stitch if their machine has that built in. Much love to you, buddy.

    • @NorrisDantaFord
      @NorrisDantaFord  Před 5 lety +3

    @mikepowers9580 Před 5 lety +2

    Just one pass down the leg? Would a second make it more secure? Sorry, very new to sewing things! Great video though man. Clear, well shot and edited.

    • @jesshothersall
      @jesshothersall Před 5 lety

      It's usual to do one pass, using a shortish stitch which is firmer. Then zigzag edges, which stops fraying and reinforces strength at the same time.
