I wish they would teach things like sewing in school! So practical and much needed. If I had someone to teach me what you just went over in this video things would have been so much better when I was younger.
In Scandinavia we have sewing as a school subject for up to 7 years (sometimes optional after a few years). I wish this for everyone! Even though I disliked it back then I still remember so many fundamentals when I got into it now. Side bonus: the drag queens in the Swedish rupaul's drag race struggle way less with their sewing challenges😂
OMG, you are a genius…I was just taking apart a pair of pants to see what I could do to downsize them. I don’t have a lot of money to replace my pants and I have lost weight and gone from a size 24 to 14. I have around 10 pairs of pants at size 20 and this video is amazing in explaining and demonstrating how to resize. Thank you so very much. I will have your video on standby as I continue through the process. Again, thank you so much for such a positive, easy to follow, instructive video.
I think it could be done ! There should definitely be enough fabric and then you just have to watch out with aligning your hardware when cutting the new pieces
same! i just went from a size 18 to a size 10 in a year and i dont have any pants…. i dont have the heart to get rid of my old favourites tho…it was breaking my heart. so excited 2 learn this skill!
🙋🏻♀️😁 Yes!!! Same here, I have a bunch of shorts that are size 14-16 and am now a size 10-12, which isn't much of a difference but the body of the shorts fits way too loose (especially my belly area)... THIS video is perfect, exactly what I needed to see 👀 how to properly adjust the fit of my pants & shorts 😊🙏❤️🙋🏻♀️ Thank you so much!!!
The method of dealing with the pockets without having to disassemble rivets, turns out to be absolutely ingenious! I love it! Solid and dense content without needless chat. I love the picture-in-picture line-art that clearly shows the map/overview of the technique being demonstrated. This video is now my top reference. There's no sketchy, lazy hacks here. There's only smart disassembly, classic sewing and good advice that leads to excellent results.
Very skilled work. You have done exactly the way it should be done - no shortcuts, no compromises, just redoing the entire process. Yes, it takes more time, but it is the right thing to do.
Thank you !! I think to see the process done without any short cuts is helpful and then if you want to add some short cuts to your own project it makes it easier to see what you can skip !
This doesn’t have NEARLY enough views or likes, the time, effort, and thought out into this video shows and I really appreciate it! This was the exact video I needed!!! Thank you!
Thank you so very much. I don’t have money to replace my pants…I have lost weight and gone from size 24 to size 14 womens [has taken me almost five years to get here]….when I was size 20 i managed to find a super clearance sale and picked up 10 pairs of Lee jeans at $5 a pair. Now, I know what to do to downsize them to fit better. Again, THANK YOU so very much for such clear verbal and visual instructions. The modification of the waistband and pockets make the resizing project seem not so daunting and overwhelming. I am so excited to get started and will be referring back to your video throughout the process.
I’m so so Happy to hear this and happy I could help !!! Congrats on the weight loss and good luck on the sewing ! If you have any questions at all let me know and hopefully I’ll have an answer for you 🤗🤗
that... was incredible. that was incredible. insane. wow. i was convinced that there MUST be a way to take in jeans a hugeeee amount but preserve the pockets and zipper and everything and wow. okay wow. so glad i stumbled upon your video
Thank you!! I found the coolest pair of embroidered/ patch worked men’s size 36 jeans at my local thrift for 99 cents! I wear a 26 in women’s and I was hoping I could work it out somehow! This was amazing thank you again!
Wow, so impressing! I will need to take some photos of the garment before taking it apart - this way I can always go back and see how everything was attached...Will definitely give it a try!
This is INCREDIBLY helpful to me! Its impossible to find jeans that fit me right so i always thrift jeans a couple sizes "too big" to fit my hips and thighs but then NOTHING else fits. I just want to feel good in my jeans. Thank you! ❤
I love, love, love this tutorial. You explain everything so well and show your steps so now I feel confident in resizing a bunch of jeans I've been leery of tackling. Thanks.
I’m not sure if you saw this video : 5 Ways to Take in Pants th-cam.com/video/DotPRMsV2EM/w-d-xo.html But it focuses less on jeans and more on pants / trousers. If you have any of those you want to alter as well 🤗
O boy! what a clear tutorial of resizing jeans. I really like the way you explain. I will try this method for sure and thank you very much for uploading this. Love from India
Wow this is amazing! I just bought some vintage jeans that I loved online…turns out they’re insanely big, will be using your video to help me resize them!!

Ok slayyyy I just bought a pair of jeans that don't fit like how they do in the pics. Dressing rooms were closed too. I dont feel like returning them this is so helpful tyyy

This is something i probably would not do, but you make it look good. I did get some ideas for alterations kn other thing i sew. It is fun and creative to tear down and reconnect manufactured clothing.
I know I'm late to the party, but I must say, "Beautiful Work" and express my gratitude, and leave you with this. We have accomplished so much ,with so little, for so long, we are qualified to do Anything with nothing; so long as we have each other. Thank you, and many blessings, health and prosperity in everything you do, always. ❤ Carry on.
Thank you very much for this video! You saved my life 😆 my pants were too big and I didn't have a belt, as a result I kept pulling them up all day 😭 not to mention that in my job I regularly have to carry objects and have my hands full... unable to pull up my pants and sometimes for several minutes 😢 THE HORROR 😭 but fortunately all that is finally over 😅😁 Thanks again 🥲
tysm girlie!!! I'm currently losing weight (I was a 12 and rn I'm an 8) and i bought some jeans yesterday and I just realized they're gonnna fit me loose in a month or so and they were NOT cheap so i might as well learn how to make them smaller! tysm ❤
No problem !! Alsooo if it’s not a super extreme downsizing this video might help too: 5 Ways to Take in Pants th-cam.com/video/DotPRMsV2EM/w-d-xo.html It’s a few techniques you can try before completely deconstructing !! I hope that helps 💕💕
Happy you liked it !! This one might help as well 5 Ways to Take in Pants th-cam.com/video/DotPRMsV2EM/w-d-xo.html There are more techniques for jeans / pants if you’re only downsizing by a couple sizes
Thank you for watching ! You can absolutely do it yourself. It takes some practice but it’s rewarding and it opens up the door to so many more projects 💕
This is super impressive. Sewing is almost lost knowledge, is cool to see people doing it. Im curious - why did you decide to do this project? Was it just the challenge? If you wanted large pockets would it not have been easier to swap out the pocket material on pants that fit for larger pockets? Would it not have been less work to start with pants closer to your size?
Thank you so much ! I had these jeans at my house and it was a mix of wanting to wear them, wanting a sewing project, and I love taking advantage of already existing sewing techniques in garments that I don’t enjoying doing myself (Jean rivets, zippers).
Yes ! Are the jeans big for you atm ? It’s a little tricky because you have to add fabric to the waistband to be able to drop it (large hips are bigger than waist usually) but if the jeans are a little big it gives a little more room to work with !
nah, the issue is just that since 2015 for some reason all jeans are so insanely high rise and there are no mid rise on the market. now of course there are more low rise because of the y2k trend, but you never find good mid rise. specially on me it's bad, i'm very petite and the high waist just eats my torso haha (it's like, half my upper body length). it would be so helpful for us petites / people who want to make their jeans more timeless !
Hi, hope you can answer my question bc this is the best tutorial ive watched. Is this achievable using a sewing machine that can only do straight stitches?
how long did it take you to learn how to do this? I figured you started out with cheaper thrifted clothes? I’m so scared to mess up but some of my clothes I bought need tailoring
This was my first attempt at such a drastic alteration for jeans. If you have ones you can practice on I’d do that for sure ! I learned a lot from even just doing it once.
Thank you! I live in an area where the majority is obese and i exclusively throft cz km poor and they straight up dont have my size in bottoms unless its elastic or poly blend which doesnt last
Am I the only one noticing that there is a huge step missing after detaching everything and then meassuring the crotch? Why are the pieces together again? And it seems as if there has something been cut away before sown together. Please help I tried to follow the instructions so far and now I am stuck.... at 0:51
Hello ! Thankyou for the comment. I showed the crotch step next because it was easiest to do that before reattaching the yoke (the piece that is seen attached with no explanation - I sewed the yoke and needed to take it apart to reattach later in the video). So I avoided my mistake and showed a better order for the project ! I hope that helps your confusion and let me know if you have any other questions ! xx
I used a slightly bigger needle, but nothing that wouldnt come with general sewing machine needles that usually come with a machine. It’s a bit of a hassle but it’s always good to switch to a specific needle for specific fabrics
I think it would be tricky but if you take your time, try them on a bunch during the process, and write out the steps before you start you could do it !! Be patient and if you make a mistake use a seam ripper and sew it again. Good luck ! 💖
Love it ! Definitely give it a shot and let me know if you have any questions / how it goes ! It probably took about 6 hours but most of that was trying to figure out a way to do it
@@SohoSeamstress ah! I have more time than money, so I will definitely try it. after recently being dumped by a romantic interest, I decided to make my clothes fit a little better and maybe update style lol.
5 Ways to Take in Pants th-cam.com/video/DotPRMsV2EM/w-d-xo.html This video also might help for a less extreme transformation of jeans and a clearer breakdown of techniques. Hope it helps 🥰 !!
You’re a magician 🪄 thanks, this video is so helpful! I also agree with the other comments that like the way you’ve done the video- straight to the point and clear to follow. Thanks for sharing your expertise
A thicker needle would be better. I find that with Jean fabric the sewing machine itself makes it a lot easier. I have a heavy duty singer and it makes sewing through multiple thick layers Easy
Yes ! I opened up the jeans completely. You may not have to depending how much you’re taking them in and if the length is ok you may want to keep the original hem
When decreasing a garment by this many sizes you’re going to have to entirely deconstruct. By unstitching everything it will allow you to measure snd repin a new crotch. If your pants were only being brought in a few sizes you could keep the crotch in tact This video shows a less drastic resize where you would not need to unstitch the crotch - th-cam.com/video/DotPRMsV2EM/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps !!
Dawg why you gotta down size them by and entire 20 inches, like I’m just tryna do like a normal amount like 25 waist to 15, like for most people who have lost weight and wanna wear they clothes still not people tryna steal clothes from plus size people Fr
Thanks for pointing that out ! It’s also hard for people that lose a large amount of weight to afford a completely new wardrobe. That’s primary who I’m gearing this video towards.
So many women can't find clothes that are big enough, please make sure you're not take clothes from the already limited selection for them. Note : as a very pear 🍐 person I always have to adjust the waist
This is a very good point ! I’m making a video to make garments bigger as well. I think learning to adjust and work with the fabric we already have is an important option to consider before buying new.
@@onyxxxyno I am of this opinion too 😳 dw I'm a chubby girl who's taking adorable y2k stuff out of the smaller sizes to wear as a crop top, I keep things balanced lmao
It is very difficult for many plus sized people to find affordable clothes, especially above size 20! Please stop encouraging people to further dwindle the already limited options available for larger people! As a person who can fit in standard sizes You already have like 50x more options and places to get clothing from!
Be so serious right now. There are options out there that are affordable for plus size people, most of the price points cost the same as a slim persons clothing. There’s no reason for you to lie about that in all honesty. She bought it as a thrift item on ebay because some didn’t want it anymore, she didn’t take all plus size clothing in the world and tailored it for her. Get a grip
Men's size 36 is a very average size, it means a 36 inch waist. This isn't her taking clothing from plus sized people, it's her right to do whatever she wants to a pair of trousers she bought with her own money
I wish they would teach things like sewing in school! So practical and much needed. If I had someone to teach me what you just went over in this video things would have been so much better when I was younger.

Yes ! Are the jeans big for you atm ? It’s a little tricky because you have to add fabric to the waistband to be able to drop it (large hips are bigger than waist usually) but if the jeans are a little big it gives a little more room to work with !

Hello, can I know the kind of sewing machine you're using for this?? Thank you
I’m using a heavy duty singer. I absolutely love the machine. It has no issues with any types of fabric

I was wondering about this point to however I am wondering if you opened up the front crotch up to the zipper or if that is left intact
Help! I’m stuck at this part as well
does a regular sewing machine needle work or did you replace it with a needle specifically for thick denim?
I used a slightly bigger needle, but nothing that wouldnt come with general sewing machine needles that usually come with a machine. It’s a bit of a hassle but it’s always good to switch to a specific needle for specific fabrics
At this point, you might as well make the pants from scratch
What sewing shears are you using? They seem to be good for cutting thick denim... ?
They were a pair from Amazon. They ended up not lasting very long ☹️
great detailed work🤩

do you think someone whos completely a beginner to sewing could do this?

I got this one on eBay, I really love it. It's good quality and I think looks nice in a room as well !
When you put the pins in to mark what your going to cut off do you do the pins all the way down to the ankle? (For the inseam)
I like to pin everything first before I do any cutting just to get a rough idea how it’s going to fit before it’s too late to turn back !

Thank you for watching !!! 💕
Did you cut the side seam down all the way to the ankle?
Yes ! I opened up the jeans completely. You may not have to depending how much you’re taking them in and if the length is ok you may want to keep the original hem
Thank u for this ♥️
Thank you for watching 🥰🥰
Genius
Will I loose the wide leg on my pants if I follow this method?
No ! As long as you just adjust the waist and make no adjustments to the leg !
@@SohoSeamstress thank you so much!
So do I split the pants into the front panel and the back panel… then I measure the crotch are?! This video is kinda fast
When decreasing a garment by this many sizes you’re going to have to entirely deconstruct. By unstitching everything it will allow you to measure snd repin a new crotch. If your pants were only being brought in a few sizes you could keep the crotch in tact
This video shows a less drastic resize where you would not need to unstitch the crotch - th-cam.com/video/DotPRMsV2EM/w-d-xo.html
Hope that helps !!
great job
thank you !!!!
0:58 I actually did not understand this part
Are the jeans turned inside out ? And wich part is pinned 😭
Alright I figured it out myself 😂👍
Hope they turned out how you wanted !!
how long did this take you to do wow
It probably took about six hours ! A lot of trial and error because it was my first time trying that technique ! 🥰 id like to try it again
Dawg why you gotta down size them by and entire 20 inches, like I’m just tryna do like a normal amount like 25 waist to 15, like for most people who have lost weight and wanna wear they clothes still not people tryna steal clothes from plus size people Fr
The song playing in the background what is it ???!
I can't find it ! I'll let you know though when i do 🤗
Just basically made a pair of jeans lol
HHhHaha pretty much ! Only easier because I was taking advantage of the existing hardware and topstitching
AHHH HOPE THIS WILL WORK OUT I WAS GOING TO GIVE UP
Hope it helps !!! 🤞🤞🤞
I'm scared to this yet, since I don't have a heavy duty sewing machine
I think you could still try it out ! Make sure you’re using the right needle and you may need to rely on the hand wheel for the thicker layers
I love going to thrift stores and not being able to find anything in my size because of people doing this, it's great
womp womp
i bet if she could find these pants in her size she would have bought them instead of doing this lengthy process 🥹
Cry harder
She bought mens jeans go run and cry
this is so cool, thank you for sharing :)
Thank you ! Happy you enjoyed it 🤗
It's already so hard to find clothes as a remotely plus sized person, please leave these for people who need them
Thanks for pointing that out ! It’s also hard for people that lose a large amount of weight to afford a completely new wardrobe. That’s primary who I’m gearing this video towards.
chopin or ravel in the background i cant tell
Wow
❤❤❤❤
jesus christ i aint doing all that
a lot of work
Better buy a new one!
This is definitely not for me 🙂
يا ساتر وَاللّٰه خياطين بتعبوا
كنت بدي أتخصص تصميم أزياء بس غيرت رأي
So many women can't find clothes that are big enough, please make sure you're not take clothes from the already limited selection for them. Note : as a very pear 🍐 person I always have to adjust the waist
Lose some weight; EZ.
This is a very good point ! I’m making a video to make garments bigger as well. I think learning to adjust and work with the fabric we already have is an important option to consider before buying new.
No one is "taking away" anything, that implies they were entitled to it in the first place.
And I can never find anything in my size when there’s tonnes of size 10s and above
@@onyxxxyno I am of this opinion too 😳 dw I'm a chubby girl who's taking adorable y2k stuff out of the smaller sizes to wear as a crop top, I keep things balanced lmao
that's too daunting for me
As long as you continue to try them on, adjust your pins, and don’t cut until you’re sure ! You’ll be okay 🤗
It is very difficult for many plus sized people to find affordable clothes, especially above size 20! Please stop encouraging people to further dwindle the already limited options available for larger people! As a person who can fit in standard sizes You already have like 50x more options and places to get clothing from!
Be so serious right now. There are options out there that are affordable for plus size people, most of the price points cost the same as a slim persons clothing. There’s no reason for you to lie about that in all honesty. She bought it as a thrift item on ebay because some didn’t want it anymore, she didn’t take all plus size clothing in the world and tailored it for her. Get a grip
Men's size 36 is a very average size, it means a 36 inch waist. This isn't her taking clothing from plus sized people, it's her right to do whatever she wants to a pair of trousers she bought with her own money
I appreciate your intent but this is misdirected and harsh for a random TH-cam video
Loose weight ffs not our problem
Para esa gracia compro otro 👎🏼
I don't care for the way it ended up. Frankly looks ruined to me.
