How to make your jeans BIGGER: Step-by-step
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Hello friends! In today's video, we demonstrate how to upsize jeans! We had posted an easy method to taking in the waist on jeans a few weeks ago and we had many people saying they needed the exact opposite haha! So today we wanted to pay homage to the requests and show you this neat technique. The jeans I had today had these pink flowers so I chose to insert a pink material to match it and so that you could see what I'm doing better. However, you can also insert some black elastic or even do this by sacrificing another pair of jeans of the exact same colour. If you'd like to see me do a more discreet version of this job, please let me know!
To see how I did this job but with black elastic, click here:

You my lady are the patron saint of patience. I could lose the weight before I ever finished such a job.
Absolutely!
Hahahaha thank you!! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
Absolutely 🤣!. Alterations are so much harder than making a new garment.
I am so impressed! I've been sewing and altering clothes for 15 plus years and I think this is the first time that I've ever seen the idea of putting the waistband extension on the back center as opposed to the side seam. It makes it look so intentional and crisp!
Love the idea and I'm looking forward to putting this in my bag of tricks 💖💖💖
Thank you so much Andi, such nice words! I also love the result. Let me know how it goes, cheers!
The way is more difficult, l would do it like you do it, l would not have the courage to do it as in video.
Yes, I prefer cutting and adding fabric to the back rather than the sides.
You've got such a gentle manner and lovely accent, this is like ASMR tailoring! 🥰
Thank you! 🥰
I can sew and fix anything, but this pants has to be HOLY, and belongs to my granddaughter for me to do what you did!! Great job!!!💐
Have a good day
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I'm excited to give this a try. All the alterations I've seen for making pants bigger end up looking like maternity wear, but not this one! It looks so great!
Thanks so much 🥰 I'm glad you liked it 😊
Glad I found this. Got to enlarge my husband’s several pairs of too small pants. By 4 inches. Whew. Love the center back waistband cut. Looks less conspicuous than on the side, the method I was doing until now. Thank you Ma’am! You are inspirational!
What a cute way of enlarging the waist on jeans. I love how you added the pink, striped fabric at the waistband and the pocket so it appears they were made that way to begin with. Love it!
Thanks so much! 😊
"You don't know how crazy I get when I lose them" LMAO, I can so relate to this! I swear I spend half the time looking for things.
That was my favorite part😆, it's so extremely relatable. Crazy frustrating to find its under your foot, or worse pinned to your shirt so you WONT lose it.
Yep....this is me😳
Lol I saw this comment as she was saying it 😊
This is way to hard for me lol but I just kept watching bc it’s was very interesting! love your personality, keep up the wonderful work ♥️
i couldn't stop watching your video because of how wonderful your voice is! i don't even need to fix any pants! i absolutely LOVE the care and attention with which you did the whole thing, from removing the seams to the very end! You've inspired me to fix my clothes that don't fit perfectly. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for your nice words. You are so kind 💕
THE most seamless and flawless alteration I have ever seen! Well done! *runs to the closet to copy*
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, so easy to follow...I’m trying to increase school pants 🤣🤣🤣
This sewing tutorial is outstanding. I’m going to try it with some Kaffe Fassett fabric on a pair of Levi’s. Thank you!
I love Kaffe Fassett designs. Your pants will look amazing!
Learning from you is easy because you explain things that simple people like me can understand. I love your videos. Thank you 💞
That is simply so kind 😊 Thank you very much!
I’m just a beginner but I love your videos!! Thank you so much for doing them One day I’ll have the skill to give these ideas a try!
Thank you so much! That's the spirit!! :)
@@DowntownTailoring ik BBC
Fantastic and it looks very unique - I bet she will get lots of questions where she got those jeans! :) And you are right - there is always some jean fabric we can salvage. I have cut many jeans pants to make shorts and we have all the leftovers! :) I will save my son's jeans. Thank you so very much!
My pleasure 🥰
Very nice! You have a lot of talent. Looks like it was made this way.
Excellent tutorial. YOU are hands down the Queen of stitches
I have always struggled with the top of the insert to lay properly. Your detailed instructions are invaluable to the rest of us self taught seamstresses.
Thanks so much 🥰
Fantastic job. I am new to your channel. I have been sewing for over 50 years but I learned so new techniques. Thank you so much.
Greetings from Indonesia.. I have just watched your tutoring thoroughly on my tv, I enjoyed very much. I love sewing, but I don't think I have enough patience to do like you do. I love the way you tutor in your videos, that's why I subscribed the moment I found your channel. I will look through all your channel & will be looking fwd for the new ones.
Thanks so much 🥰 Welcome to our sewing community!
LOVE IT! SUCH DETAIL WORK! YOU COULD CHARGE PPL TO MAKE UNIQUE PIECES! HAVE THEM SHIP TO YOU. WHAT A CUTE PAIR OF JEANS!
Thanks so much 🥰
The pink fabric looks great, and the little trim on the pocket is perfect. Thank you for the carefully detailed video.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Growing up, I always watched my mother open a seam with a razor also! I loved watching and listening to you . Looking forward to more videos!
Always enjoyable to watch the skill and techniques. It is a pleasure to like, comment and tell others…
I just subscribed!! Over the past 2 years I have gained weight. I have so many cute jeans I can no longer wear. I am excited to see a way I can again wear my cutest jeans. I always keep any jeans that the family are done with. I will probably use that to extend the jeans.
Thanks so much for your interest and support 😊
I love your style...you are very talented and make the projects seem very possible for those of us who are not so talented! Looks great, but I would have given up long ago. Great work!
🥰🥰🥰
Great job! And I love that factory sewing machine. My mom had one of those
Yes..it's heavy duty. My machine will probably break with the thickness of the denim.
GASP! Fabulous! So many opportunities to get it wrong if I were attempting.
I’ve always disliked altering jeans but I now feel inspired to give it another go. Thank you 🤩
I'm so glad to hear! You got it! Use your 18 needles!
@@DowntownTailoring i will. Thank you 😁
Wow! Love the way the jeans looks in the end!
You are an excellent teacher. You have a gift. Just know that I so appreciate your channel. Ty so very much.
Wow, thank you! 😊
Hát off to your patience and talent!
Wow! Excellent job! You are VERY talented.
I really enjoyed how easily you shared the Information. By far one of the better ones that I have watched.
Thanks so much 🥰
I enjoyed and starting to learn the alterations; I'm slow to relearn and watch it again and your instructions are great! Thank you! Never kbew hiw to do this!🌸👏🏻
working on altering my jeans at the same time as your video... measuring the waist, 4inches. Me too! is this a club now?
your tailoring tips are practical, imaginative and beautiful, and the videos are excellent. but not everyone is a real master to practically carry it out...
Thanks! That's right, but with enough practice, we all can become better. Cheers 🙂
I have found very few sewing videos I don't get bored with. Yours is ome of them. You make it really interesting!
Love your channel! You are so patient in teaching these techniques. Thank you!
Thanks so much! 🥰
Wonderful video. I have gained the quarantine 15. This will be perfect. Would love to see the video of using another pair of jeans too. Thank you for taking the time to share this video.
You’re not alone haha! Thank you, I really hope to make another one!
I’ve been working on taking in 8 inches off of jeans at the waist from one of your other videos, abut I accidentally cut too much from the waist band and I was so devastated. Thank you so much for this video
I'm so glad you could fix it! Cheers 🙂
Amazing! No way I can do what you did. I wish I had someone as talented as you to fix my clothes.
This is the best upsizing jeans video I have ever seen! Those jeans look super super cute!! You did a magnifico job.... 💕🪄
I really enjoy watching your videos. You explain things very well and do such great workmanship.
Thank you very much! 🥰🥰🥰
this was a GREAT video, both the visual and the talking part, you totally walked me through everything that might give me anxiety to try this out. perfect 10/10 and follow
Thanks so much! Welcome to our sewing community 🙃
Gorgeous! So well done. I also really love the sleeves of your top in the video!! Right now looking for some chiffon material. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks so much for your comment 😊
Do you think that you could inset a piece of fabric all the way down and maybe even make a wider bottom, as to update skinny jeans to a wider leg?
Yes! I'm working on a video with exactly this alteration. I'll tag you when it's up! 🙂
Yes I want to make this alteration too!
I've done that to a pair of black Levi's that shrunk tremendously the first month I owned them. I used a printed strip of stretch jean fabric from Joann's. Much to my surprise, men comment "Nice pants!", in the grocery store. Had I seen this video before doing them, I'd have done a much better job on the waistband. C'est la vie.
@@DowntownTailoring can you please tag me also on that video? My jeans magically shrunk during Covid. Has nothing to do with the chocolate...
