    This is a really great video. I have had problems with buying pants my whole life. I have an hourglass shape like Anne, and I am also a plus size petite (and some people do not even know what that means). Finding a pair of jeans in a store that fit at the waist, hips, and length is like finding a unicorn. Learning how to properly alter my things is helping me to have a lot more options.

    I love this I needed it so bad since I am doing more jean alterations now since I found your channel. I thank you for the link to the thimbles I found MANY more items I needed LOL The prices are so much better than Amazon I bought razor blades and a handheld steamer and several more trinkets and rulers. Great site I had enough for FREE shipping lol oh and I found the perfect hangers I needed for my school letterman jackets I like to give the customer their finished letterman jackets on a hanger and a plastic cleaners cover. I think it looks so much more professional than just handing the jacket, we sold more than 50 letterman jackets before Christmas I do the embroidery and stitching on year numbers and letters.
    Thank you again for this channel you are so generous to share your knowledge and you make learning so much fun. I would work for you for free so I could learn. :)

The prices are so good I love my magnetic dishes they are very strong magnet for when you are working on your machine and need to put your screws in something they are perfect of pins and other things too. Something else I bought the whole box of USA-made single-side razor blades. Probably won't ever need to buy another blade but an awesome price. I needed machine oil so reasonably and bought 2 of the oil bottles one for home one for work, little snips, chalk marking pencil with refillable colors of chalk. Prices are so much better than AMAZON. Over 100$ free shipping.Oh and I found the handheld steamer I needed for removing hoop marks at work from embroidery.

    • @DowntownTailoring

      Yes. This is a bigger job than the regular take in waist at the back. It should be charged almost double. Multiply your regular charge for 1.7 and you have a reasonable price. Cheers 🙂

      I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Sometimes, it's hard to catch this situation before you start the job.
      I usually leave at least a 1" seam allowance to be able to do some corrections afterward. If you did, you could try to let out about 3/4" on the center and then make 2 darts of about the same 3/4". This, for sure, will reduce the deep curve that was created at the center back.
      I'll be posting another video with more clarifications about waist take in.
      I hope this helps 💐
