Can I also do this to a thick, non stretchable denim pants ? I got a pair of pants with an excess fabric on the crotch area and it forms a very big cameltoe. :(
Another approach is to unstitch the seam and offset the pant front the “pinch amount ( 1 inch or so) and reset on the original seam line. This method reduces the front crotch fabrics and leaves the back seat fit the same.
Definitely. This method will work well with fabrics that have give or stretch but for fabrics with no stretch, not so much. This method takes fabric away from areas where you may not have needed it or wanted it removed like the butt and thighs.
I figured someone else would point this out. Because what she has technically done is also shortened her back crotch which you can see they fit way tighter now in the butt. Its much better to open that crotch seam and shift the new front seam to the original back seam. Same way in reverse if that back is too full or if you want a "booty" fit. Ice skaters often have the back pant crotches tightened in that way to accentuate those glutes!
Thank you SOOOO much for simplifying this process for us inept seamstresses 😂 I have a pair of jeans that were meant for a taller high waisted person, so I need to alter the rise to fix my shorter torso and frame.
I’m a sewist, and although many pair of my pants have this “bulge” in front, I never knew how to adjust. Many thanks! This blending down the pant leg will make the leg tighter, right?
@@MultiStar84 I've been watching videos for this same solution for at least an hour now. I think it is the crotch seam that is the culprit. I'm still doing research, but this seams to be a large part of it. Fingers crossed we find our solution!
this is so helpful!! i bought some pants from the thrift store and haven't worn them because the crotch is way too baggy. i refused to give them away because i knew it was a quick fix, and now i know how to do it!!! thank you for this!!!!
I am a trained tailor this is the only alteration we never covered. In my 23 years this week was the first time I had someone that needed this alteration. So glad I found this video, this is what I thought needed to be done and glad you had this so I knew for sure I was thinking correctly. Would have been bad to do the alteration wrong and ruin 6 pairs of pants. Thank you.
You ARE a lifesaver! I had to hunt a long time to find the particular pants I want to fix and was so disappointed when I tried them on yesterday. Thank you so, so much.
Excellent tutorial. Getting older and some loss of weight, I have plenty of shorts and pants to work on. I’m glad I am well versed on our sewing machine. Never wanted to tackle this as I figured releasing all the hem lines and restitching was required. Thanks for posting this.
Bravo!! I'm new to sewing, and your presentation is the BEST that I have seen. You're clear, thorough and very easy to understand. Thank you so very much!! You've helped my sewing greatly.
I have been watching you for years and no matter what issue I have with my clothes, I KNOW you will have a solution that is easy and will work. Thank you for all you post. You've saved me so much time and money.
Great tutorial, so easy to do. I had a pair of pajama bottoms that were super saggy in the crotch and I was able to fix it super quick with your instructions!
Thanks so much for this! I thrifted a bunch of jeans with this awkward crotch, but I reeeally loved their color and length. Good thing I didnt give them away! You're a life saver!
Thank you so much for the video. I have been living with this pant problem for so long, but now I can fix and actually wear them instead of pushing my pants to the back of the closet. Thank you.
You need to adjust the top of your pattern at the waist if you are having to roll it up. It is uncomfortable. Your pattern should have markings on it to show you where to adjust for a better fit next time you make a new pair of pants or shorts.
Today I came across this video and I love it!!! I've been sewing all my life and I love to find easy ways to do stuff. I also want to say that I am so glad I found you because you are solid. Very great personality and instructive. Now I also know how to purge my closet and not buy the same junk again! Love you and your channel!
Finally someone explained the process….I couldn’t find any other video in English which would take us to the very beginning meaning how to measure, where to measure and so on, thanks sooooo much 🎉, congratulations, regards Maya from Hungary 🙏👍👏🤗
This is great! I do exactly the same with any vintage pants that have too high of a rise. It works well if the pants have room in thighs also and a lot of times this adjustment works to make pants fit better under the butt also. Great demonstration!
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial!! My question is, suppose the back fits perfectly, but it's just the front that needs to be adjusted? How do I fix it?
Great Q - I would check to see how much room you have from below the fly to the seam. That's the space you can work with the take out. I would pin and baste it in a couple of different amounts to see what looks and fits best.
Definitely trying this on some random pants first to practice then on the actual pants once I get the hand of it. Thank you so much!!! The extra fabric has been bothering so much🥰🥰🥰
Terrific video, you're easy to follow! Plus the subject is going to be helpful to many people. We don't learn these easy necessary things as much anymore. Everybody use to see! Thankfully some still do😊
My suggestion is to hand or machine baste first before cutting any excess off the pants, to be sure it fits as you like. If not you can at least return them and find a better fit.
Your derrière needs all the crotch space. It’s only the front that is short. Remove the stitches in the crotch inseams a little past your marks. Then resew along the line of your marks on your front, matched to the existing inseam seam line of the back.
Agreed. I've done professional alterations for decades. Crotch ups should be done only to the area that needs it. You can use the excess fabric to create a gusset inserted to the center front seam to recreate the curve that is removed in this process.
I have an old pair of long capris that I decided to make into shorts and since 20 yrs has passed since I bought them, the back is baggy and now I have a better idea of how to adjust, thanks!!
New subbie. Your technique was straight forward thank you for your help. I've seen others that have instructed to totally deconstruct the pants. Your way saved a lot of time.
Oh myy gushhh!! Thank you so much for this tutorial 😍😍 I just bought 2 new trousers online and they are kinda big for me (and kinda expensive as well) 😭 Fortunately I already bought a mini sewing machine through online few months ago and learned on how to sew because of this covid thing. 😍😍
I just altered my AG Farrah jeans that I scored from Nordstrom Rack for $30 using this method! Thank you so much for sharing. These are now my favorite jeans!
This tutorial is excellent! My mom had some beautiful pants but she wore a size larger than I do. Now that I know how to adjust them, I can wear them myself ~ remembering what a stylish lady she was. Thank you!,
Not where I thought the adjustment would be made. I thought you would try and put a tuck under Waistband. You have given me food for thought....and I thank you.
Yey ! My pants looked beautiful online but on me.. just baggy crotchet and awfull, i was so sad, then youtube recomended me your video, winning video. I most say my pants went PERFECT with your wise advice! Thank you very much :D :D
Tysm! This video is great!💕 I got these super cute pants but I'm only 4'11 so they don't fit yet. I have been slowly altering it. And this is the last part I need!
3 minites 30 seconds there is a face in the pants and when you see it i guarantee you cant unsee it. Roflmao im dead and just had a rip too perfect timing 😂
Thank you this I will try as I have short torso and long legs so most my high waisted jeans are super baggy crotch. My low waisted jeans always fit better. Thank you

As a curvy woman, saggy pants crotch are a constant problem for me! Can you relate?
YESSS also bc i bought men's cargo pants so the crotch is even bigger 😭 thank youu
Yessss, i really hate it😭 it makes me feel not confident when i'm wearing my pants😭
I’m literally a stick and I still get saggy crotches in my pants all the time 😭
Can I also do this to a thick, non stretchable denim pants ? I got a pair of pants with an excess fabric on the crotch area and it forms a very big cameltoe. :(
I'm not even that curvy and I still get saggy crotch. It gets on my nerves but I started ignoring it.
Ur a life saver recently bought few pants and was planning on giving them away.. Not anymore... Thanks again😍😍😍😍😍
Woohoo! I'm glad I could save your britches!😂
I didn't have a machine so I freehand my workout pants took about 5mins and it worked awesome! Thanks for the video
This lady just saved me $40 for a new pair of workout pants. Thanks!
Another approach is to unstitch the seam and offset the pant front the “pinch amount ( 1 inch or so) and reset on the original seam line. This method reduces the front crotch fabrics and leaves the back seat fit the same.
Hey, can you explain a little more
I agree with you.
Yes, also you can use the excess fabric to "gusset" in more curve in the front pieces to make the fit more natural.
Definitely. This method will work well with fabrics that have give or stretch but for fabrics with no stretch, not so much. This method takes fabric away from areas where you may not have needed it or wanted it removed like the butt and thighs.

You're welcome! Yes, it will, so blend more or less according to what you'd like.
My problem is is too much room in the front, not just the crotch but the pockets area and the rest on the top.

@@egween346 Agreed, thanks for the response!
@@MultiStar84 you can try putting darts in this areas to reduce room
Thank you so much for this. Running to fix a ton of pants I refused to give away 😂
nubienne34 I know because pants are the hardest thing to find. I know for me they are lol I picky 🤣

I need this in my life so badly... I get a baggy crotch on virtually EVERY pair of pants large enough to fit my thighs.... THANK YOU so much!!

Thank you for this tutorial! H&M pants are wonderful but the crotch is crazy baggy for us short ladies!!
Having the saaame problem with my training pants. Guess you get what u pay for.

Oh my god. Im tall but have the same problem with my H&M pants 🤣

Thank you so much for the video. I have been living with this pant problem for so long, but now I can fix and actually wear them instead of pushing my pants to the back of the closet. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. I am finding lots of tutorials on pants that are too small, but very few about pants that are too big.
Thank you so much. I always thought, I needed a professional to take it all apart. 💙
You can do it!
Finally someone explained the process….I couldn’t find any other video in English which would take us to the very beginning meaning how to measure, where to measure and so on, thanks sooooo much 🎉, congratulations, regards Maya from Hungary 🙏👍👏🤗
Thank you! Watched your video again as I just bought a new pantsuit/jumpsuit with the saggy crotch issue.
Thank you so much! I have a shorter torso and long legs. So helpful! 💕
Thank you so much!!! I always have this problem with my pants. Can't wait to see more. Thanks so much!
This is so much easier than I thought. Thanks for sharing this!
Being long legged I often need to purchase larger for length. This video will definitely help me alter the baggy crotch. Thank you!
thank you so much!! I had a pair of shorts that i liked but they had the worst baggy crotch so i followed this to a T and now they are PERFECT
This is great! I do exactly the same with any vintage pants that have too high of a rise. It works well if the pants have room in thighs also and a lot of times this adjustment works to make pants fit better under the butt also. Great demonstration!

thank you! So helpful! I had been taking up the crotch seam and it wasn't working. This way looks great! The pants look very nice on you now.

Omg yasss! This was right on time. I just got some linen pants at old navy and they have this baggy look.
Yay great! It's a quick fix, Sis!
@@Stylesewme , yess it looks like it. When i was younger i had to alter ALL my clothes bcus im short and had a big bum with tiny waist
My suggestion is to hand or machine baste first before cutting any excess off the pants, to be sure it fits as you like. If not you can at least return them and find a better fit.
Tried this on a pair of joggers that I made earlier. I was about to trash them but thankfully your method worked perfectly. It took about 10 minutes.
THANK YOU, having purchased pants online I have ended up with a few that have baggy front crotchs!! You explained everything so well !! 🤗
Thanks! Should the blend be a curved line or straight? I’m not curvy, but have this issue with pants often.
TY lots. I've researched. I think your video hit the spot. Gonna try it right now. I sure hope my shorts look better when finished.
Oh, wow! I was going to remove the original stitching and go from there. Your method is so much better! Thank you 🌸
I love your tutorial, you just saved me so much money😅 I love how visual and informative you are! Super easy to follow.
Your derrière needs all the crotch space. It’s only the front that is short. Remove the stitches in the crotch inseams a little past your marks. Then resew along the line of your marks on your front, matched to the existing inseam seam line of the back.
True
Exactly.
Why shorten the back when the problem is only in the front?
Agreed. I've done professional alterations for decades. Crotch ups should be done only to the area that needs it. You can use the excess fabric to create a gusset inserted to the center front seam to recreate the curve that is removed in this process.
