Great video. I've been wanting to know how to do this for a long time...on my linen white summer pants. Will be trying this soon. thank you
So glad to hear that this tutorial helped you!!
Thanks! I needed this!
Glad this helped you!
Beautifully clear and concise explanation. Thank you. I would have loved to see them on the body though.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad the tutorial helped you. The photo in the thumbnail is the 'after' photo. These were originally palazzo pants and I tapered them to a normal straight leg. I took out several inches of extra material.
Thank you for the video
A highschool girl trying not to look like a patato bag in my uniform.
Really helpful,but now i need to search how to use the sewing machine
I'm so happy to hear that the tutorial helped you!!! Hopefully your sewing machine will be easy to understand. Good luck with your uniform pants!
Great! But it would be nice to see the finished result worn. Thanks for your help.
Hello! I'm glad to hear the tutorial helped you! You can see how the pants looked on the body untapered and tapered in the video at 0:09 - 0:14 during the introduction. It's a quick view, but it should show you the dramatic difference tapering made. These were very wide pants and I only tapered them to a straight leg style. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Not quite sure why you folded and marked the inside seem on the backside of the trousers. Could you have marked the inside seem on the frontside of your trousers like you did with outside seem?
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can mark the inside seam on the frontside. It's important that you take an equal amount of fabric from both seams. The pants in the video had VERY wide legs and it was easier to show the process in the screen by folding over the pant leg. Hope this helps.
Liked content. Would like to have seen pants on before & after. Thanks
Glad to hear the tutorial helped you. You can see before and after photos in the video at the following timestamps: 0:10 to 0:14. I didn't make the taper too tight-just enough to make the pant legs straight.
Excellent easy to follow tutorial. My question is: How do I taper pant legs that have a horizontal and vertical box design and have the lines look even when worn?
Thank you for taking time to comment! Matching a repeat design can be tricky when tapering pant legs and requires additional prepwork prior to sewing. If you are tapering a small amount, it's easier to match up the design, but if you are removing a large amount of fabric, it can be tricky. I would suggest marking your taper line on one pant leg and then placing a pin at the bottom of each box element to hold the fabric in place while you sew. You may need to adjust the fabric as you pin down the leg to ensure that the design elements are lined up. Once you have one leg completed, move the second pant leg and repeat the process. You can then slowly sew your new seam and remove the pins as you sew. I also need to mention that unfortunately, not all patterns can be matched when altering so you may need to offset the pattern to ensure that you maintain the overall fit and design of the pants. If you are unable to line up the design, consider adding an additional design element like a thin piping or decorative trim that you can place over the seam to conceal the pattern offset. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your time, that info does help.
@@harry9175 if you have any other questions, just ask and I will do my best to answer.
Thank you.
I couldn't see the crotch I guess you have to keep it the same and must taper to it?
Taper your new seam to the crotch. You can end it just below the seam intersection (where the pant legs meet) if that is easier for you. The most important thing is to make sure you gradually taper the seam. That way it will lay neater on the body and not appear to be altered. If you have any other questions, please ask. I'll do my best to help you. Thank you for your question.
@@TheCreativeSewist thank you, I altered a pair of pj bottoms made of fleece the legs were way to big I took from both sides but I should of took more lol.
@@lsanderfield I'm glad to hear that the tutorial helped. You can repeat the steps as necessary if you want your pants tapered even more. Just a tip: if you are working with fleece, don't over taper the pants. Fleece does not have any stretch to it, so if you will be sleeping in the pants, make sure you have enough room to move in them.
@@TheCreativeSewist yes I'm going to stick with them they are so much better than they were...I'm happy
So glad I found your video! I was just about to take in pants on the inseam only but something didn’t feel right about that. Like you said, if you do that the pants won’t lie/fit right. This was exactly the easy tutorial I was looking for. Thank You 🧵 🪡
PS…just finished the pants & they came out Perfect!! Great instructions, thanks again! Will do the same on some wide legged PJ pants next. 😊💝☮️
