  • Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to show you three more ways to lengthen pants! In last week's video, I asked if you preferred multiple quick tutorials or a longer video and the majority of the comments said to make a longer video, so here I am!

    Your videos are so great. Thank you for teaching these important skills to a new generation. A lot of people didn't learn how to sew in school or anything and it is a shame how much textiles we waste on boring, unoriginal fast fashion. I'm glad we are getting back to altering our things to make thing unique for us, and to make them FIT properly!

    Of all the things you've taught us so far, the far best thing I have learned from you is MARKING! For some reason I've always been afraid to mark up my fabric. I have no idea why. Maybe something I was taught not to do in Home Ec classes 40 years ago. Who knows! But, you are not afraid to full on mark everything. The accuracy you get doing this teeny tiny extra tip is so worth it. I just love your videos SO much. Keep them coming please!

      Thanks so much for your kind words 😊 You know, back then when I started to sew I didn't know about these heat erase chalks. So I didn't mark too much either. Just a few pins here and there and that's it. A young colleague of mine was the first person I saw marking everything and this was about 15 years ago (It sounds long but it isn’t too me) I took the habit then. Still, we need to be careful with the material. Cheers 🙂

      @@DowntownTailoring Absolutely, test markings on your materials! Part of me suspected our marking tools have come a looooonnnnnggg way! Even with the new technology behind these new tools it’s been hard to break old habits. But watching you boldly mark has made me less hesitant to do the same. Yes, this slightly mature dog can learn new tricks!

    I've tried simular tricks, but instead of just a cuff, I tried something a bit different. I on several occasions shorten the jeans or pant and added a large flowing sryle ruffle/skirt to the bottom. This looks best on form fitting styles, that are shortened to between 1/4 and 1/3 of the distance between knee and floor. As always thank you.

    Great video! I also really liked the euro hem idea with the happy bright cuff❤️. As for your request from the male viewers, I asked my son about striped hem. he is pretty conservative and thought they were too contrasting but would go for it if they were a similar colour. Hope that helps, as always, really enjoy your tips and tricks 👍🏻

      Jacqui- I agree close match to the jeans being lengthened would look better and I believe that even somehow mirroring the existing top stitching so it would look like it was a planned edition. There was a time in the '70s that pieced together jeans was very popular and I believe this similar look could be achieved.

    Thank you so much for these ideas/tutorials!! My 5 year old has always been tall and skinny... For example a size 5/6 is too big around his waist but fit his leg length perfectly..a 4T waist fits him perfectly but too short. I've been turning his 4T pants into shorts but I think I'll try some of these lengthening techniques for the rest of them. :)

      My son was the same way...he was like a regular sized kid that someone just stretched out until he was SOO skinny with long legs like a cartoon character. 🤭 I learned how to cuff his jeans this way and it was very cute. Luckily, all of his shirts had dinosaurs on them, so it was easy to find fabric to match.
      TIP: I found old navy jeans run longer and fit slimmer. They also have that adjustable elastic in them which helps a lot!

    I know I’ve watched these before but I apparently completely forgot! I made some shorts for mock-ups and wear them for sleeping but I rarely sleep in shorts.
    I’ve thought of adding some material to make them into pants and now I might just do that since they don’t really go outside who cares if it looks funny
    But also Jess because I have the hardest time finding jeans that are the right length…
