I went to a professional tailor where I live. I had two pairs of pants I needed let out a bit. She told me she couldn’t do it😏 little did she know I can sew just had a machine issue so I went and bought a new machine and with these instructions I’ll get it done ✅ thank you so much🥰
This is why I’m going to learn how to use my mums old sawing machine again, I used to be able too when I was a teen I’m 41 now so that was many moons ago. Now I feel inspired to sort out my clothes and fix them properly, I don’t like getting rid of clothes if I don’t have too.
I love option 1 & 2. Going to try and fix a few pairs of jeans I was planning to donate because they were too tight. Thank you so much for starting this channel! I really appreciate all the advice on tailoring and garment repair that you share here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Could you do a tutorial similar to this one but for maternity? That would be so great to se a more professional way to adjust regular jeans for a person who is experiencing!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been sewing for a lot of years and do alterations for friends and family, but I've always said "No" to altering jeans. Now I feel I can tackle them after seeing this. I also have a number of pants that I need to let out the waistline and Women's pants don't usually have enough seam allowance to let out much. Like a lot of people, the pandemic has encouraged a lot of us to eat more and the resulting added pounds. LOL. I'm glad I found your channel and appreciate you taking the time to teach us.
Absolutely loved your voiceovers and the project. I listened carefully to every word. Your voice is very listenable. You are well spoken. Thanks for your time.
I recently thrifted 2 pair of jeans that are so “vintage” they don’t have any spandex whatsoever. Therefore the waist needs some expansion. You’re my go-to for alterations. I have the wide elastic, but never thought to join strips to make even wider. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise
I'm a beginner sewer and I got this video right after a friend came home asking for a repair of her pants... I got an idea from your video on how to fix the problem. Allah bless you and to you channel. Thank you
After watching some of your videos I have to tell you I absolutely love all of your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing your professional techniques! I love your accent too! Reminds me of some of my aunts I haven’t been able to see for a while.
I have a few jeans I was going to give away because they don't fit. This is the perfect solution! I already have the elastic I need, and if I use technique #3 it will only take a little time. Yes yes...I know that #3 doesn't look as professional but sometimes I just want to get my sewing done and not take too much time on it!
Thank you! I have a few pairs of pants with waists I despair of ever fitting into - but the hips and thighs fit fine. This is such a great way to make them wearable! I confess I'll probably take the easiest approach, but wow, you make all three look very good!
You are absolutely right! The first one looks better, but the others look good as well. Perhaps with more practice we will do the first way too! Great job and thanks for showing us your techniques. You are a great teacher!!!
As someone who needs explicit instruction, the other commentors are absolutely right, such clear step by step instructions with visuals that show exactly what you are explaining, wonderful
I would use either way. I already added fabric to a couple of pants. I used very tight black underwear that I couldn't wear because the stretch material was too strong. It works, but it isn't pretty because I made it up as I did it. I only wear over blouses, so no one sees. Thanks for this.
Thank you for this! DIY videos are getting less common on youtube so I'm so glad I found this. I did the easiest method and it still came out looking really nice.
"the other side is professional...but this side not so much, but thats okay!" me with everything i attempt to do 😂. loved this video. i could listen to your voice to go to sleep.
Brilliant, just great, we have all at some time had to give away a great pair of Jean's that we loved wearing because we put on weight and they didn't fit us any more, hopefully this will be the answer, for me to re love wearing those Jean's again, as a really great pair of Jean's that fits well is hard to find and best of all, your video advice can save me money, I love that, what a great channel, I love sewing, very interesting, I really liked it I subscribed, I gave it thumbs up, I commented and I saved your videos to my playlist, thank you for sharing this and for making the videos, it's so very helpful. Laura in England.
@@DowntownTailoring Hello Ma'am, I enjoyed your tutorial I would like please you advise me on what kind of brand sewing machine is the best. I have a new brand SINGER heavy duty that can sews 5 layers of mezclilla and 60watts bout doesnt work. I have everything SINGER ahujas for mezclilla, strong & expensive hilo. I love your sewing machine is your tutorial. Please advise me!!! also thank you for sharing how to fix the jeans I loved & and learned the 3 easy ways cuz I love to sews heavy duty materials . Thank you so much for your time. P.S. I got suscribe in your tutorial web site.
So glad I found this video! A friend of mine asked for help to enlarge the waist of a pair of suit pants because he now has an ileostomy. He needs more room in the waist for comfort, and to allow for expansion throughout the day as the bag fills. This alteration will not show because the suit jacket will cover it. He specifically requested elastic if at all possible, so I believe this will work.Thank you so much. You are an excellent teacher!
Thank you so much. I used your method to allow my favourite linen trousers to still fit my aging and spreading waistline. They are comfortable to wear again, I am so happy...
Yes yes 😅 and yes!!! That's awesome! Real Boss work!! I love ❤ all 3 ways! Thank you so very much 💖 for sharing your skill set with this online community. Yay!! 😅😅😊 May God continue to bless the work of your hands. ❤
Your tutorial is excellent and well-presented. This is a great money-saving tip for the pregnant ladies who are “in between” where their waistlines are growing but they’re not big enough for maternity wear yet.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! Even for some of us who can sew, this is a great way to keep the clothes that you love , and clothing no longer comes with seam allowance, making alterations hard to do. Thank you.🎉
Hello! I'm glad you had this method! I bought a pant suit at thrift store! But the pants which I didn't check was 2 size too small. The jacket fits! God Bless You! Unipress/Ohio
I wish I thought of this long ago I’ve lost so many jeans to weight gain and now it’s happening again . I’m going to try this and save the ones I still love :) thank u so much for this tutorial!
Good question I'm not a professional anymore but I would do a large patch and sew back. And forth until very well attached trim off excess material to make. It wear better do that over both sides good luck until she puts out a video
This video showed up in time. I needed to extend my son’s pants and wow 🤩 you done an excellent job displaying how to do this. I am now going to try it myself. Thank you for sharing. ❤
This was so informational and it’s so over my head 😭 I bought some very cute pants that are just way too small!! I’ll be watching this video a million times trying to learn how to fix them haha
Perfect timing. I have some jeans I kept to hope to be able to wear again . They fit just to the zipper yet still a little snug.Your tutorial showing the addition of the elastic....thank you for sharing. New subscriber.😊
That first one looked fabulous. The second one was good, and probably what i’d use. But that last one just didn’t have the same nice finish. You make all of them look easy 😀
Hi … at 1st glance both look great. But like you, I think the 1st one is worth the extra time. As a seamstress for many yrs I can say that clients may not know how to update their things but still want them to look great. On the other hand the 2nd one would be great to use on work pants & kid’s clothes❤ Thank you !! Katie
This was a clear explanation of all the steps, so educational! When I do a job, I like to do it well, so I definitely preferred the first method - so professional and really the right way. However if I felt pressed for time, I may use the second method which was still had a reasonably clean finish. Thank you for your time, i've subscribed for more 👍
Thanks. As I am not a professional, but I know a bit of stitching. This will help me to do some alteration of my pant. I like all and will try to work on it.
thank you so much for these handy technics, clear and precise explanations. I will definitely try on a pair of trouser, probably the easiest way, but I feel comfortable with the other way too which is not too difficult. Thanks for your time
For many years, my mom was a seamstress for Frances Brusters in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She would take for otherwise a slim woman and alter the dress for a larger figure. She was very good at her craft. Although she wouldn't use this at Frances Brusters, she would make my clothes, shirts, pants, and jackets for school. Watching this video reminds me of just how talented mom and you are.
Thank you! I just got my son 2 new suits for church and his pants are all top tight in the waist. We were freaking out but I can do this! I'm going to go all out.
Thank you! I love how the first one looks but my sewing skills can only handle the third one. So glad that I don’t have to donate my pants now that I can make the waist a little bigger.
Thank you so much for your great video! 👍 you have the gift for explaining very clearly step after step! I used to be a professor so I know what I am talking about! I am a very bad sewer so I will pick the easiest way to make my jeans 👖 wider. I am also relieved to know that I am not the only one to put on weight at the weast even though I am slim but in my seventies! Congratulations again 👏
I'm wondering if using black stretch material from running tights would work just as well, like the really strong compression kind. That way you would have more material to work with and thinner seams.
Can you tell me what are those two presser feet that you are using for sewing the denims pls! New viewers from Scotland and I’m enjoying watching your video . Thank you !
Thabk you for this awesome turorial. I was wondering when to widen the elastic piece, for example a 3 inch wide to a 4,5 inch wide, do i just sew them together or do i stretch them as i sew them together? Thank you!!❤️🌹
Girl!!!this is what i wanted at this moment i almost give away my jeans there are tight om my waist for years i didn't use them,so i will fo with #1😍😍😍😍💜💜💜💜
Thanks. This is disappearing Tailor Chalk (from Carmel) You can go directly to the minute 3:20 in this video to know a little more about my chalks. ruclips.net/video/y6yM2VCfcJ0/видео.html
What was the thick elastic that you showed at the end? I need to do this for my work pants because I can’t zip them up or button them. The because the sizing is so off the rest of it fits perfectly it’s just I can’t zip them or button them. I wash my work pants like every other day so I need a really thick elastic that’s going to hold up which one do you recommend, that I can get in the states. Thank you! Love you videos!
I love both but prefer the second one. A.) I'm a novice so fewer steps are better B.) They're jeans not pants/slacks so it doesn't need to be professional. Also, I'd probably use a colorful elastic to try and make the extension appear deliberate....by design 😊 Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Would any of these techniques work on women’s trouser ? The trousers I Have are similar to the the video you have using the Royal Blue trousers to let the waist out … I would like to add a elasticity there on the side
Amazing! The 1st option is very clean and sturdy. Option 2 was good for a simpler fix. I wish i had a sewing machine. I'm looking for a by hand tutorial
I want to thank you so much for your RUclips channel . I am a first timer my granddaughter got me this little sewing machine for Christmas and I am learning how to sew OMG you really show me how to sew my old jeans that didn't fit . I did yours step by step and now I have 3 pairs of jeans 👖Oh I got a medium sewing machine now .. can't wait to see more of your stuff .
Hoping to try this soon - I received a pair of jeans for last Christmas and even though they were ordered correctly they came in a size too small for the waist area. :( hoping I can try this and make them work.

I’m so glad! Thanks for letting me know 🥰
I think the second one, easy and so nicely finished. Great as always.
I like option 1 but I do see the advantage of saving time in option 2 and it allows me to be a lazy sewer which I am sometimes.
Thanks for the tip!
My pleasure 🥰 😊
I love 💗 your videos! I only wish I knew about this sooner!! You're a great teacher... wish I lived near you, 😿I would love to watch and learn!!
Thanks so much for your comment 😊
Dr.Elizabeth - I never realized how important it is to have a serger machine and chalk and a real ruler - makes the work much more professional
Your tutorial is excellent and well-presented. This is a great money-saving tip for the pregnant ladies who are “in between” where their waistlines are growing but they’re not big enough for maternity wear yet.
Thanks! It's definitely a good option for those "in-between" stages. 🥰

🥰 Well Done! Looking forward to doing this, probably will do #1 as it is a better polished end. If I find it difficult I will switch to #2! Thank You!
Your first waist is the best. You make it look easy.

You got this mom! 💪💪💪
Perfect. Thank you so much for your tutorial.2 is my choice
Thank you!
I love how the first one looks but my sewing skills can only handle the third one. So glad that I don’t have to donate my pants now that I can make the waist a little bigger.
You are so welcome! Happy sewing! Cheers
Thank you so much for your great video! 👍 you have the gift for explaining very clearly step after step! I used to be a professor so I know what I am talking about! I am a very bad sewer so I will pick the easiest way to make my jeans 👖 wider. I am also relieved to know
that I am not the only one to put on weight at the weast even though I am slim but in my seventies! Congratulations again 👏
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰🥰
I'm wondering if using black stretch material from running tights would work just as well, like the really strong compression kind. That way you would have more material to work with and thinner seams.
Oh yes. It totally works! In fact. I think is a great idea!
As ai get better with my sewing would like to try option 1 but definitely prefer option 2. Are you able to surge with a regular sewing machine?
Love #2 - could you substitute high stretch denim for the elastic to make it less noticeable?
Yes! You can 👍👍👍
Can you tell me what are those two presser feet that you are using for sewing the denims pls! New viewers from Scotland and I’m enjoying watching your video . Thank you !
You are fabulous, am going to use this technique for a Jean blazer thanks for sharing many blessings
Thanks 🥰
Thabk you for this awesome turorial. I was wondering when to widen the elastic piece, for example a 3 inch wide to a 4,5 inch wide, do i just sew them together or do i stretch them as i sew them together? Thank you!!❤️🌹
Yes! I like to stretch it a little bit while sewing. But if you have a zigzag, it's way better. Cheers 😊
Excellent, thank you. I prefer the look of the first one… hope my skill level will be up to the task.
Thank you for making this! You've helped me save my favorite pants!
I'm so glad! Thanks for letting me know 😊

Both options are great. You’re awesome!!!

The because the sizing is so off the rest of it fits perfectly it’s just I can’t zip them or button them. I wash my work pants like every other day so I need a really thick elastic that’s going to hold up which one do you recommend, that I can get in the states. Thank you! Love you videos!
I think I got this elastic at Cleaner's Supply. It was long ago. Before the pandemic.
I love both but prefer the second one. A.) I'm a novice so fewer steps are better B.) They're jeans not pants/slacks so it doesn't need to be professional. Also, I'd probably use a colorful elastic to try and make the extension appear deliberate....by design 😊 Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Thank you I was able to do the second one on a pair of pants. It helped a lot and made it easy and quick.
Excellent! I'm glad it worked out well 😊
Would any of these techniques work on women’s trouser ? The trousers I Have are similar to the the video you have using the Royal Blue trousers to let the waist out … I would like to add a elasticity there on the side
Amazing! The 1st option is very clean and sturdy. Option 2 was good for a simpler fix. I wish i had a sewing machine. I'm looking for a by hand tutorial
Thanks so much 🥰 I think I should make a video about it. Cheers 🙂
Keep the Videos coming...I'll definitely be watching and sharing..👍👍
Thank you. Your explanations are comletely clear and so clever!

I want to thank you so much for your RUclips channel . I am a first timer my granddaughter got me this little sewing machine for Christmas and I am learning how to sew OMG you really show me how to sew my old jeans that didn't fit . I did yours step by step and now I have 3 pairs of jeans 👖Oh I got a medium sewing machine now .. can't wait to see more of your stuff .
Aweee 🥰 I'm so glad, comment like this, inspire me so much. Thank you 💞💞💕
Thank you for your help. Do I have to do both sides?
Hi. If you'd like to do just one side, you can try to insert the elastic at the center back. Otherwise it loses symmetry.
@@DowntownTailoring thank you very much for the response. It is so helpful. I’ll try to do it.
Hoping to try this soon - I received a pair of jeans for last Christmas and even though they were ordered correctly they came in a size too small for the waist area. :( hoping I can try this and make them work.
Happy sewing!
