    I’ve had enough of the ignorance in this comment section. You are allowed to have your own opinion, BUT be respectful. For starters, I’m not telling anyone how much to taper THEIR pants. I’m only showing the steps to take if anyone wants to do their pants the way THEY want! This video is up to the PERSON to taper any way THEY want to. Secondly, just because someone wears fitted clothing does not make them “gay” or weird. Ya’ll act as if ppl can’t like different things. Quit being so narrow-minded and judgmental. If you have a hard time understanding that, then this channel may not be for you.

    For someone who is self taught I'm really impressed. Great job! I have 1 suggestion for you...always do a back stitch at the beginning and end of any sewing job. The back stitch is what's really going to lock it in so you don't have your seam coming out after a couple of washes. That's my 2 cents but I think you did a great job. Thanks for posting.

Designers forget about my size. My perfect size would be 38/28. 40/28 in some clothes. American eagle does well for me when my size is instock. I’m so gonna try this.

      Chris Quiroz I would recommend a Brothers sewing machine. I wouldn’t buy one with a bunch of stitching patterns. Alll your really gonna use is a straight stitch and a zig zag stitch. I would actually invest in a really good iron. A nice flat surface area is key to a good stitch.

    Excellent work dude. One note for all those trying this out. Be sure the pants your using as a guide are inside out as well. This is to ensure you don't accidentally run permanent marker down the side on the pants you're not altering. Most will say this is a given. However, it's easy for one to make this simple mistake when they're so excited to try this out. Let's be honest.... we've all made silly mistakes big and small.
    Have fun saving your your straight, wide, or boot cut jeans/pants from the donation bin or back of the closet.
    Cheers from Seattle.

    Very helpful tutorial video. Please do make more sewing tutorials. We have the same sewing machine and scissors as you do so this video is perfect for me to learn from. I started learning how sew by making lip reader face masks I'm now selling on eBay and my teenaged son asked if I can learn how to taper his jeans and other trousers when I found your video. Thanks so much for sharing.
    Update:
    I tapered a pair of sweat trousers based on your tutorial for my son and he was happy with the results. Thanks again for the tutorial. One thing I did before commiting the actual sewing was to use safety pins on the lines I drew so he could try the fit since I didn't want to mess around with my seam ripper tool if it was too tight.

  • @imSchwaggy
    @imSchwaggy 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    id also suggest this to be done with jeans that are stretchy, makes it so you can make them pretty snug and not worry about them feeling too tight. doing this with something like a levi denim would make getting your feet in the bottom kinda hard without adding a zipper.
    you can also make a zipper pant tutorial lol. LOTS of people want those .

  • @fernank017
    @fernank017 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    idk if you've said this in your video, but make sure that you wash your pants 2-3 times BEFORE you start the taper process. Your pants will shrink in the washer. If you're doing this with selvedge/raw denim and you need to "wear them out" for like a year before washing, then you should allow for 1/2 to 1 inch of extra room from your taper process; or you'd have to wait until you can wash it first. I would not recommend doing this on raw and selvedge denim until after the washing process.
    Secondly, don't use a sharpie (for professional reasons - like if you're doing this for someone else), you should use chalk. If you don't have chalk use some dried out bar soap!
    Thirdly, use a jean needle and jean-specific thread with your sowing machine (or your machine will cry and you'll probably break/miss-align your needle).
    And finally, make sure that you back-stitch when you start and end so your stitch doesn't come undone in the wash. To add to this, if you cut off the excess fabric, you NEED to finish it with a serger/overlocker OR you should do a flat-felled seam (there are youtube videos on this). Sergers are for massproduced clothes, and flat-felled seams are (usually) for bespoke/higher quality clothes.

A man invented the dang sewing machine! How is a man sewing in any way gay? Some of the best tailors I've used are men, and this dude decides to take on the task himself so he can bespoke his own gear. Please...stop being amazed a man can sew. Be grateful that this man took the time to share his accomplishment with you, and be amazed when you are able to do it for yourself too.
