    I’ve had enough of the ignorance in this comment section. You are allowed to have your own opinion, BUT be respectful. For starters, I’m not telling anyone how much to taper THEIR pants. I’m only showing the steps to take if anyone wants to do their pants the way THEY want! This video is up to the PERSON to taper any way THEY want to. Secondly, just because someone wears fitted clothing does not make them “gay” or weird. Ya’ll act as if ppl can’t like different things. Quit being so narrow-minded and judgmental. If you have a hard time understanding that, then this channel may not be for you.

    For someone who is self taught I'm really impressed. Great job! I have 1 suggestion for you...always do a back stitch at the beginning and end of any sewing job. The back stitch is what's really going to lock it in so you don't have your seam coming out after a couple of washes. That's my 2 cents but I think you did a great job. Thanks for posting.

    Very helpful tutorial video. Please do make more sewing tutorials. We have the same sewing machine and scissors as you do so this video is perfect for me to learn from. I started learning how sew by making lip reader face masks I'm now selling on eBay and my teenaged son asked if I can learn how to taper his jeans and other trousers when I found your video. Thanks so much for sharing.
    Update:
    I tapered a pair of sweat trousers based on your tutorial for my son and he was happy with the results. Thanks again for the tutorial. One thing I did before commiting the actual sewing was to use safety pins on the lines I drew so he could try the fit since I didn't want to mess around with my seam ripper tool if it was too tight.

    Thanks for noting that you're not trained... it gave me the confidence to take some old jeans and just go for it. It's also a great way to save a buck and look stylish... I'm also glad to see a person (male/female/gay/straight) defend their station with intelligence...

    I'm so glad to find this video! I like to wear slim style pants but women's fashions change and I haven't worn tapered pants since my emo days.
    Now the style is coming back, but I've gained weight since my emo heyday. I ordered some pants but by the time they'd arrived, I've lost some weight and the pants are baggy! Thank you for this video. Especially the tip at the end for when u cuff the jeans.

      STEP 1: Understanding that manufacturers make clothes for everybody so they fit no one.

      STEP 3: Do it yourself!

    Solid video. I’ve dealt with having a little thicker thighs my entire life. It ruins buying the right size for me so I have to search my ass off for jeans that fit how I like. I have just recently came to the realization to size up / buy a wider Jean and then tailor them so I can have some extra room in the seat and thigh while getting that tapered look down low 💪

    Excellent work dude. One note for all those trying this out. Be sure the pants your using as a guide are inside out as well. This is to ensure you don't accidentally run permanent marker down the side on the pants you're not altering. Most will say this is a given. However, it's easy for one to make this simple mistake when they're so excited to try this out. Let's be honest.... we've all made silly mistakes big and small.
    Have fun saving your your straight, wide, or boot cut jeans/pants from the donation bin or back of the closet.
    Cheers from Seattle.
