"Anything that I missed?" the master asks the apprentice. The apprentice only sees perfection in the masters instruction, to the point of being confused by the question in the first place. Then, the student understands the master is showing grace and humility by extending the question. Mastery without arrogance is a rare trait. Thank you for this wonderful instruction.
Thanks so much. This is by far the best video on yt on the topic. I'm going to dinner at the Magic Castle tonight. I found out they have a very strict dress code and right now I'm too fat to fit into any of my suits. You saved my night by helping me tailor a fancy velvet party suit for the dinner.
Wow, thank you so much! I have a Christmas party to go to tonight and the beautiful navy blue suit wanted to wear, well, I was too fat for the pants, which I haven’t worn in a couple of years. I followed your instructions exactly and it worked!! The pants fit me perfectly!!
Great tutorial video! I began a home alteration business a few months ago and I’m so glad I found you! 😊 You give and show details in such a delightful way. Thank you.
I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. I love your explanations and your attention to detail. I can tell that sewing, tailoring, is a passion of yours. Also, you are just so darling!
This was awesome, thanks for taking the time to make us this great tutorial!!! I just let out an awesome vintage pair of corduroy pants by following this guide and they fit me like a glove (and the alteration came out seamless... er, or I should say with one appropriately placed seam haha). I appreciate you giving me the instruction and confidence to try this!
I had an idea of how it is done and after watching your video i have enough courage to get started with my 2 pants that need letting out. Will save about $50 altogether.
Got this done in like an hour never having done this before. Good tutorial. What I did though was leave all the original stitching in the waist and seat and sewed parallel to it tapering into the groin. Then i released all the original stitching. New pants so no color difference. Ironed out and you can't even tell.
This is so fantastic - you have such a great way of explaining what you are doing, using easy to understand words and even if it is technical you explain it as you do it. thankyou so much !
Amazing video! Cheers Shae. I altered some red velvet pants using this method. It was tricky with such delicate material, but it worked out well in the end!
I really hope that I can do this. I was just gifted 8 pairs of near new men’s suit pants that are about a size too small. The person who gave them to me said they were altered to be SMALLER for him, so there should be plenty of fabric for me to work with. Fingers crossed!!!
Wowww! Thank you, I'm about to try it on my partner old suit pants, if this works he will owe you a few hundred euros lol. Jokes aside, thank you for sharing, very good video :)
I've not had to let out a waistband before on a suit, nice instructions. Question though, I would've turned the whole garment inside out to do the work, is there a reason not to?
Thank you so much! My son's dress pants also tore at the side pocket, seam open 1.5" fabric torn 1" parallel to seam toward back. Any advice? Again, many thanks
Boys really wear their clothing hard! If he’s young and growing, just buy a new pair of pants. Tears in this area, even when they’re repaired never stay so you can resew the seam but it’s just gonna bust again.
Time for new pants! People often ask me to just add a wedge of fabric to expand them, but I often refuse because the work looks shoddy so I don’t wanna put my name on it. It is of course possible to do I just don’t like the way it looks.
I recently had this done professionally. However, the fabric was terrible with showing old stitch holes. Any tips for getting rid of those old vertical stitch holes that parallel the new seam? Thanks!
A little but it definitely depends on the shape of the belly and the booty. I find that this alteration can help with pocket flaring on the sides though!

Agree, this is 9x better and more thorough than every other video I’ve watched thus far. Thanks!

Clever- make the old seam hold for you.

I like you working apron, thank you very much for this video, it is very helpful

What do you do if your dress pants don't have that extra material at the seams? Do you have a video on that? Thanks
Hello Host Like done👍 Thank you for sharing this Video; it is of help to me.New friend here sending full support.Again thank you🙏
When the waist gets let out about an 1.5”, are pant pockets noticeably slanted?
Thank you so much. Can you recommend a good book to compliment your videos. One that is good for men's suit pants , etc. thanks again. : )
Thank you so much! My son's dress pants also tore at the side pocket, seam open 1.5" fabric torn 1" parallel to seam toward back. Any advice? Again, many thanks

How can you make pants bigger like a 38 waist to a 40 inch waist
8:25 pm. How do I know how far down to start sewing to the seat
You never really do! Intuition and good fittings!
Amazing how all videos have perfect examples. What happened when you don’t have any allowance to let out?
Time for new pants! People often ask me to just add a wedge of fabric to expand them, but I often refuse because the work looks shoddy so I don’t wanna put my name on it. It is of course possible to do I just don’t like the way it looks.

How do you make a baby dress from a shirt?
I recently had this done professionally. However, the fabric was terrible with showing old stitch holes. Any tips for getting rid of those old vertical stitch holes that parallel the new seam? Thanks!
Steaming the fabric often helps with this issue
Pants from 38 to 40 invh waist how can it be done
does letting the seat out relieve the pull in the front above the crotch
A little but it definitely depends on the shape of the belly and the booty. I find that this alteration can help with pocket flaring on the sides though!
Good explanation. Thanks. What is the smallest seam allowance you would use on pant seams?
I wouldn’t go less than 1/4 inch but 1/2 inch would be better!

do ta do ......yea
