Interesting to know how it's done and now I realise why the repair shop wants to charge so much. I alas won't be doing this myself. Excellent tutorial.
Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for. After watching several videos I came across you and you made it very easy to understand & follow...very much appreciated.
Beautiful!! I’ve been using this to do my hubby’s pants- we’ve both lost 50pounds!! Thanks!
Amazing! You're so welcome!
Finally took in some trousers from a matching set that has been languishing in my cupboard. Feel really proud but it was only possible thanks to your brilliant tutorial, so clear and comprehensive - best one out there. Thank you!!
That’s awesome you tailored them up 😊
Thanks so much for sharing this! ❤
You are so welcome!
LOVE your iron kitty weight!
Thank you 😊
You’re a GENIUS🙌💪👍
Too sweet. I just love sewing :)
Loved the details on finishing the pants to put them back together as they originally were.
Thanks for sharing! Excellent instructions.
Thank you 😊 & thank you for watching
Now that I have seen how you do that, I have realized that I use the same style of technique to take out the crotch curves when making denim skirts out of old pants. I dare say you are fast at getting videos out, like boom-craka-laka. You have such a lovely personality, love seeing your vids pop up.
Lol 😂 thank you. I try to get out 2 vids a week. Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you for this tutorial! I didn’t realise I lost weight for months and was still buying pants in my old size, so I sort of have a bunch of really nice pants that don’t fit properly. I don’t have a sewing machine so I was thinking of doing it really carefully by hand. Might take a while but it’s probably worth it.
You got this!
This is an excellent and timely lesson Anastasia, thank you so much. I sew my own very first pair of jeans the other day and they expanded in the waist, so I need to take them in.
Happy to hear. I hope this video helps you take them in. Thank you for watching.
I lovelovelove your channel and all you do!! You got a person that was at first very nervous holding a needle to want to alter and thrift flip their own clothes. I always check your channel out when I have a new question now, your instructions are so well laid out and you are just lovely 🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that I've been able to inspire you to try altering and thrift flipping your own clothes. It means a lot to know that my instructions are helpful to you. Keep up the great work and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
Awesome video. I learned to sew in a bachelor survival class in HS. We made my wife a really well equipped sewing room with great work surfaces and machines (minus a serger). At work I wear 5-11 Tactical Pants which the fit is so random and I hate them to be to baggy in the seat. I think this video will give me confidence to tackle taking a few of the ill fitting pairs of them up. Thanks so much for such a video with such clear and detailed instructions.
Agreed. Very clear concise instructions. Even a caveman can do it. 😂
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Sewing can be such a useful skill, and it's great that you're using it to tackle those ill-fitting pants. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations on taking your fashion fate into your own hands with some sewing skills! It's amazing how a little bit of stitching can transform those ill-fitting pants into a perfect fit. Keep up the good work, fashion designer in the making!
Those Strides (Brit expression) are delightfully eccentric & loud! How I'd love to see George parading them around my neighbourhood. You did a stellar job on them. 👍🙂👌
Thank you, yes he needs to wear them out about town soon. Love the expression strides. Never heard that before. Very fun.
Ty
Welcome 🤗
YAY, Yay, yay Anastasia... I have 6 pairs of expensive suit pants bought 25 years ago.
To replace them would cost in excess of $300 dollars each. Local tailor shops do not return
calls or emails. So why not buy a nice sewing machine and do it myself, I Did. The results are amazing.
By the way, I'm a fussy 78 year old man who likes nice fitting clothes. . . just saying
This is awesome 👏 I love hearing this! Sewing is such a great skill to have & now you have pants that fit!
I got a pair of plaid pants from H&M and I love their baggy nature, which I would love to replicate in other materials. Is cloning pants easy enough?
Great question…… it’s easy if you understand how pants are made…. I would trace them out with a pinwheel & always measure the garment & your pattern to double check measurements & don’t forget your seam allowance. Happy sewing & pattern making .
Ran across your video by chance and used your technique which was very very useful. Thank you Anastasia.
You are very welcome 😊 Thank you for watching :)
I made disasterous pants, waaay too big (clown pants). Now I have a plan to fix my pants. This video is fab ❤ thankyou !
You can do it! Good luck!
I needed this video! I've got a pile of pants that need ti be taken in. Hooray!
Woohoo!!!!
Great video! You have a wonderful assistant and I love the cat weight! :D
Thank you 😊 I just the weight for Christmas. I love it!
@@SewAnastasia And your fabulous assistant was on the spot with applying the new cat weight! Perfect :D
Learned alot
Excellent 👏
What make/model of sewing machine is that?
I saw how you fixed it and thank you
Very welcome. Thank you for watching.
do i have to worry about what kind of thread, like thread for stretchy clothes or for woven fabric, sorry i'm new at this
You want an all purpose thread.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
💕💕💕
Love it! May sign up for lessons later,
I need to take in some adorable but ginormous shorts that I thrifted. Do I not take in sides, then put darts in the back pockets? If that’s a sometimes option, how to know which technique to use?
Excellent question!
Thanks so much for your advice. This video will help so much with the pants I buy large to accommodate a swollen belly that give me baggy butt. Is it possible to make waist bigger in pants that fit my hips and butt?
Also, what size needle do you recommend?
A 90 is pretty standard but it really depends on your fabric.
You know that little 'dinner slit' in the back of some trousers... looks like a little triangle cut out of the back waistband. How would i go about taking my trousers in but still retaining that feature of my trousers?
Good question. Just reconstruct it the way you found it but take them in first. It’s hard for me to explain in text.
Excellent detail. About to try it out. Your voice sounds like Mila Kunis 🥰
Happy tailoring.

I want to alter a nice wool pair of dress pants.Need to take in from 36 to 33.They are pleated and cuffed, an inch too long.I have no sewing machine.I can sew by hand pretty straight, but I don't know...my wife says to just buy a new pair.I'm not cheap, just retired and bored.She won't help.I wish she would.Rats.
It sounds like a fun project! Altering pants by hand can be a bit time-consuming, but it's definitely doable with some patience. Good luck!
Imagine if the pin hit more than fabric...
Noooooooooo
I've got to try this. I've lost quite a bit of weight from illness and i have so many beautiful pants that now look like clown pants. Taking them in for alteration would cost a small fortune. Question. If there's a significant amount of material that needs to be removed, wont that make pockets or faux pockets on the seat become too close together? Is there something else that needs to be done if that's the case? Great video. Thanks.
If your pockets are getting too close together at the back seat you can take in fabric on your side seams. Happy sewing.
Hello how to take up scrub pant with elastic waist
Like hem them? Or? Explain please & I’ll add it to my list.
Great Vid and really nice pants. Would love to find some cloth like that. However what if your pants don't have any extra fabric to take in? I have some golf pants that are about 1.5 inches to small in the waist and I wonder if I can put some elastic or something to get them buttoned up. Thanks. I am a new sewist. Have a Brother and Husqvarna Viking Iris machines.
Great info, I have a pair of blue velvet pants I am going to attack!
Those sound awesome 👏 Happy 🧵 sewing!
When it comes to the waist part can’t you just use your chalk to draw a line on both sides?
Think it be easier than using a roll ruler then you know exactly where to go cause you might be off if you use a ruler? I think I’d stick with using chalk for the measurement because then you know exactly where are you you need to sew by bringing them together
Hi, you only need to chalk one side & I used the rulers to true up the pin/chalk marks on the same side I chalked. Hope that makes sense. Happy sewing!
Pants in uk are under wear knickers we call them trousers not pants.
FUN! Thank you for sharing.
Dadgum how tall is your guy? I know youre small lol but he still looks tall
