*_With gaining weight and society going tall clothes truly aren't one size fits all I truly LOVE this video. Now I just need to find the courage to try something like this... lol 😆_*
As a 5’6” male, this video is perfect! Thank you! I’ve never found a pair of pants that fit well off the rack and some alterations are too expensive to justify.
As someone who has been sewing for years I would actually recommend only working with thread as long as your forearm as anything longer will be likely to knot,twist or catch on the way through. Its easier to rethread than to do the whole job with knotted,twisted thread. Great video though and a brilliant end result. X
As someone who regularly adjusts his pants in the length and width, the only caveat I would add to this video is if you use another pair of pants as a template for length in particular, make sure it is a similar type of pants and material. Thicker material like a pair of jeans sits differently at the cuff of the pants than dress pants that is light weight material like in the video. You might like jeans that gather a bit but dress pants that sit straight. Correcting if it is too long is ok, but if you cut, then hem too short, there may be not enough material to correct.
wow! After years of paying and sometimes not liking the result, today after watching this, I feel inspired to take ownership of my clothing! I was driving to work today and saw everyone with nice suits and I know I am reluctant to buy some bc alterations are so expensive. Thank you!!!!!!!!
This is a great video. I have my teenager son watch this video because he has pants that fit the waist but not the leg parts. he measures and I sew them with the sewing machine. This teaches him that when he purchases a pair of pants to make sure it fits the waist and hip area and to tailor when he gets home. thanks and keep on teaching people how to love to sewing.
I suggest investing in a simple sewing machine if you plan on taking in the sides of your pants. They are not that expensive used. Start with a very long stitch first (basting stitch) and check how it falls before going over it with a tighter stitch. It is difficult at best to remove a tiny stitch without destroying the fabric. You will need to trim the extra fabric to 5/8ths of an inch from your new seam. Never to late to learn to sew, I had two brothers that taught themselves to sew BEFORE the internet lol. One made a tuxedo and the other made dress shirts for work. I taught him on a treadle machine as a teenager. Good luck.
I wish I had a sister like you while growing up(we're all boys), hey I have an idea why don't you teach men basic life educations such as machine sewing, and DIY in a sisterly affectionate & commanding style
Dang. I needed this. I’m a 5’6” guy with a more athletic build. I either find things that fit me horizontally or vertically, rarely both. I appreciate you gents at RMRS 🙏
This Is By Far, The Most Informative Video I've Found On The Subject. From How To Measure, On To The Stitch! Clear And Concise! All In One Simple Video! Greatly Appreciated!
This works pretty well. Thanks. I never realized it would be so easy. It does take forever to do it by hand though. I did one leg by hand and it took several hours. The other I did with one of those handy stitch machines and did it in less than a minute.
I learned to sew as a child by watching my Mother and three sisters. I purchased my ex wife a Kenmore sewing machine in 1981 for Xmas and learned how to use it. I got so good with it that i took it with me when we divorced after 27 years. Still use it today. Buy a sewing machine and learn how to use it, it’s not that hard. Using this method , it’ll take forever. You can also take it to someone who does professional alterations.
I wish i had a fraction of your knowledge.. i really admire and appreciate all your work. Its pure talent and art. I thank God for people like you. I have actually slimmed a pant from this tutorial and everything turned out great!! God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good instructional video. i've been tailoring my pants for years like this for years. I guess I was doing it correctly. I've yet to find a brand of pants that fits me perfectly. Don't forget to prewash your fabric. It could shrink and undo all your perfect measurements. Do this after the first wash.
I just saw this video. As a tailor, I would like to say that you need to purchase some bee's wax for hand stitching. Run the thread over the bees wax and then add some steam to it. It helps eliminate the thread getting knots. This should be a must
My mom's a fashion designer and she taught me the basics of sewing when we were making custom masks for covid when it first happened and the market was high for masks. I just got some brand new pants that fit me amazingly and a bunch of clothes from the goodwill that I love, bit are too baggy. I CAN'T WAIT to tailor them to my new pants and maybe I can watch the jacket tutorials too. I think I'm going to use a sewing machine to save time though and keep a straight line.
i’m 21 years old and never touched a thread and needle in my life before today and i just finessed my work pants to fit exactly how i want it because of this legend 🏅🏅🏅
I you’re doing it by hand I suggest using a longer needle and while holding the needle with the right wiggle the fabric up and down with the left pushing the fabric into the needle, after few fold of fabric are stocked in the needle just push the needle through by pulling the fabric flat. This technique is used in Japanese sashiko and allows for fast running stitching. It’s hard to explain but there are many tutorials on TH-cam
Be prepared for high level of emotions from customers when you cannot meet their expectations. But most of the time it’s the opposite. People are usually very pleased and happy.
@@は私です彼の名前 I’d say that’s for most customer service’s you provide. Most customers are great and understanding/pleased but will always have those dick heads who’ve never been punched before lol
As a 6'5 male, i appreciate it, i always had trouble with clothes, due to the fact that i'm tall and fit, and here where i live, most pants and jackets are meant for tall AND large, so they always get baggy and i end up needing to tailor it, now i can do it myself.
Perfect. I want so badly to learn the art of tailoring. Unfortunately it seems there aren’t many resources to learn the art form without interning somewhere for up to a decade without pay. I’ve decided to just learn from scratch with trial and error.
Sorry did I miss something around 3:15 what do you do with the excess material on the inside leg from wherever you've done your new seam, do you just cut it with scissors or what?
@@Mr-R.R. Yes with alterations of ordinary clothes like jeans, pants, t & polo -shirts and shirts. But not tailored clothing like suits because theyre usually of quality materials which dont shrink. I'm not in the clothing business so take my "advice" with caution. I'm only speaking from experience.
whoa, Thomas has a great voice. A nice change up from Antonio (no shade meant, Antonio). I'm curious to learn about Thomas' sense of men's style, his perspective and the vibe he and ANtonio have on camera together. Looking forward to seeing and hearing Thomas more, RMRS.
I’ve decided to learn tailoring. I’ve gotta bunch of junk clothes and suits to practice on. Eventually I want to be able to make my own suit, shirts, and jeans.
Man, this is way easier than i expect. Thank you very muck I'm planning to bleach my old jeans and dye it in black (looks like the black dye doesn't apply very well to blue denim), like an empty canvas. Maybe i'm going to sew it too
It should be easier to dye denim black. Don’t bleach first. Maybe you did not use the correct type of dye. Make sure it is for cotton and use the correct fixer and amount of dye for the weight of material.
one thing for threading a needle you can hold the end of the thread just inside your fingertips and roll the needle into it (probably not the best explanation but it works really well)
When it comes to cloning a previous pair of pants, as in using the same measurements, take note of the material. This is especially important for people who might be altering pants with some stretch
Idk if you’ll see this, but if you fold the thread in half first and then put the loop through the needle hole and then pass the tip of the needle back through the loop, it’s a lot easier to set up
Please don't cut your wool trousers with a regular pairs of scissors. It will unravel and ruin the fabric. Use pinking shears to help minimize the damage and keep the integrity of the cloth.
the whole point of sewing is to prevent unraveling. It's perfectly fine to cut it with any scissor that's sharp enough. Now, if you're going to leave the cut ends unfinished, pinking them is will be much more needed there.

easier said than done!! i'm gonna try doing this and hope i don't screw up! near impossible to find off the rack pants that fit cuz i'm short and wide!!
I recently found out that sizing can vary drastically even if it’s the exact same brand and style . Ie bought some dockers khakis 32x29, 2 pairs of the exact same pants one was 39 inches long and the other was 40.5 inches . Now I can just tailor them myself without trying to hunt down the correct “size”
I always wanted to wear my Dad's expensive trousers from the 80's but it's so baggy(and it's a pity to watch em staying always folded inside the closet), this vid just gave me a revelation
Nice trick if you are travelling abroad. Back at home I prefer to stick with the dressmaker that has a sewing workshop nearby. The lady needs the job and minor adjustments aren't that expensive. Last time I paid 20 bucks for two pairs of sheaths.

As someone who has been sewing for years I would actually recommend only working with thread as long as your forearm as anything longer will be likely to knot,twist or catch on the way through. Its easier to rethread than to do the whole job with knotted,twisted thread. Great video though and a brilliant end result. X
That's what I came here to say. I learned this way prevents knots from forming.
So when you reach the end of the thread you just tie a knot and start with a new piece starting at about the same distance as between your stitches?
Yes. When you come to the end of the thread just fasten off securely, rethread your needle and carry on as before. X
Tangled knots.. Ugh!🤬 ^^👍
NOTE: wash and dry a new pant before altering. washing can shrink some material so better wash it before to know its shrinkage

Good tutorial. Please make one for sports jackets too. Especially, increasing/decreasing the length as well as making too baggy one fit. Thanks!
Great suggestion!
I'm on the lookout for this one as well
Even experienced tailors are challenged by this type of alteration. You may want to practice on a jacket you don’t care about
Note: sometimes clothes shrink once you've cut them. So if you've done all the alterations, then wash, they might be smaller than desired.
you'd recommend washing it before tailoring then, right?

I was looking for a revolutionary hack but I already do this.
this is super advanced level of tailoring, even tailors dont do this .
As a karete expert, this is perfect.
I like the untailored look. Its jut much more comfy. Not too baggy though but in the middle. a good balance of not too big or too little.

Only video that taught me how to fix my pants. Thank you very much.
Loved this video. Thanks I'll use my sewing machine but your video showed me how I can do it and do it easy. 🙂
Idk if you’ll see this, but if you fold the thread in half first and then put the loop through the needle hole and then pass the tip of the needle back through the loop, it’s a lot easier to set up
Sometimes the needle hole can be too small to fit a double threading. Put the thread in the needle hole at an angle.
Awesome job Thomas! This is how it all starts. Next thing you know the teacher is learning from the student 😀
I was about to try a different thing until I saw this and it has probably saved me hours. Thank you
