SD - Solid video - much needed! Hope you're doing well friend!
Thanks Antonio! I appreciate it, and I hope you and your family are doing well also!
Whoa !! What an accomplishment having antonio viewing your video’s!!!
@@Trashcankicker. I know right? He's a cool dude too!
Wow my guy is also here
Boot cut jeans are only thing I can wear
“You’re only saying that because I’m black” hahahahaha best father ever !!!
😂
Bro black is not my problem I am from northeastern India 🙂
@@moveongamer703 Selassie! Greetings, Bless.
I tried one of your other tutorials yesterday and the results were great so i gave this one a shot too and holy crap! Combining the 2 methods I have turned some horrible oversized jeans in to the best fitting jeans i have ever owned and with only one day of sewing experience. Iv never followed tutorials that are this easy and work out this well before. You are a true legend! Now for the rest of my wardrobe...👍
I would LOVE to see a picture! DM me on IG!
I’m female, and i couldn’t find a tutorial better than this! I consistently have an issue with jeans being too large around my waist! I’m very excited to try this out when i get home!
Did you try it?? How did it go?
lol Another female here… I lost weight & was about to donate my fat jeans. Thanks for saving me $$$ ! 🎉
Female too! Came to check if the technique is the same for ladies pants, I've done a high waist pair of jeans before IN THE WAIST BAND, I THE MIDDLE like a psychopath. It worked, but it was a mission (removed whole waist band and darted along the butt crack with a taper to the waist) I hated this process, your method looks MUCH EASIER SD❤ thank you!
I can't even tell you how much i love & appreciate that you don't do the long intro nonsense (like almost every other damn youtuber does) and that you get right down to the point of the video. Oh 👏my👏god.... PRICELESS!!! THANK YOU!
I've lurked for a long time and don't even follow any of the guides provided but I'd just like to say your content has improved since I've subscribed over a year ago and still seem like a genuine guy. Still enjoying watching for the knowledge as I continue to age into manhood (I'm 26). Keep it up and stay positive in this crazy world.
This trick is totally excellent. Tried on my two jeans and the results were absolutely awesome. They are fitting excellent. Thank you
Good job SD, I've got my Singer Heavy Duty machine and I'm ready to start making mistakes.
I did it! It worked great! I had the same jeans and went from a 34 to a 32. I just followed the same lines
Stylish D did. I watched some other RUclipsrs take apart the waistband, too much for me. I can see how that would be a much better finish but this way is great for these handmedown jeans. Thanks Stylish D!
Thank you so much. I’ve just started uni and my nanna gave me her mother’s sewing machine. I have watched plenty of videos on how to do this but yours made it seem like riding a bike 😂thank you so much!! Subscribed 100%
I have done a similar method, but I lined it up with the front pockets. Where it connects to the waistband near the zipper.
And since I usually wear a belt, you'll never see the stitches.
Your channel is great man. It's helped me a lot.
I'm super stoked to try this out, thank you for making this tutorial!! And thank you so much for sharing your mistakes, as a perfectionist it's really great to see everyone can make mistakes, even pros!
This is short and to the point! Right down my alley-you gained a follower! I just took 3 inches off the waist of my favorite jeans doing step by step what you advised here, and boom! They fit perfectly!!!! Thank you bunches and bunches! Jesus bless you!!!
Awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you!!
@@StylishDTailors thanks! 🙏
Man, am I glad I found this. You just saved my husband from my mistakes. I had no idea what I was doing, and was going to take them in at the sides. Thank you.
Love how you’re taking something that can come off dry and making it fun. Really enjoy your enthusiasm!
Thanks so much! I appreciate comments like these!
Really appreciate what you’re doing here. I’m not saying I’m going to whip out the needle and thread, but there is a seamstress in the village who does this kind of thing and I’d rather give her the work. You’ve made me realise my mass produced clothes can be adjusted to my shape . 👍
Easily the best tailoring channel on RUclips. We're watching in Atlanta.
Tailoring clothes is so underrated. I found a 3x polo at goodwill that i made my size. Now thanks to you i know how to do it to jeans. Thanks for sharing.. liked and subscribed 🤝🏽
I bought jeans when I was 78 kg (Thanks to my mom who fed me like I will never get food again )and now I am 69 kg again and I am crying now. Those jeans got lose only from my waist line and everything is perfect. They are so comfortable and full stretchable and bit too costly 😭😭.
This is great! I sew on my machine 90% of the time. I've performed a great number of alterations on all types of clothing, many sizes, and styles. Watching your video made me smile and gave me a few laughs for the end of my day. Keep up the great work and the alterations! You are awesome! Enjoy the rest of your week!
One of the best tutorials I’ve ever watched on anything.
Thanks!
I came across this and you make it look so simple and very easy to understand (love your humor too), man you need to be on pbs sewing tv. I'm hard pressed to spend the kind of money they want for jeans and I'd have to alter them anyway, (38w28L try and find that kind of jean without breaking the bank). I have always liked sewing, not good at it (hobby) but you give me confidence. You have a subscriber in me. Thanks for sharing. Will follow up after I hem, bring in the waist (2 inches) and try to taper them.
Did you give it a shot yet? How did it go??
Thank you... so much.... all the tutorials were about resizing girls' jeans but those are softer and lighter than men's jeans... thanks to u now I can resize my brother's jeans into my size❤
Try the jeans on before you cut the extra fabric away from the darts!! lol I know that should go without saying but you never know. Great video!! Love it!
Omg I finally found the right video 😭😭😭 All of the other videos use elastic tapes (that I don't have) or sewing and then pulling but the thread would break 😭 Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
Target just had a sale in my area for the Denizen jeans for $7. Unheard of and @ 34 inch waist even! One was boot cut and the other two straight cut. Going to be watching your next VID! Thanks for this one!
Hey SD, thanks. I've been loosing weight & this video is a godsend. My waist was a 46, is a 40 & 34 is my long term goal. Thanks. 🤜🏼🤛🏿
Congrats on the AWESOME weight loss!!
Hey Abramo, congrats on the stunning weight loss!! Hope your goal is getting closer :)
You are sending your weight yo me! 😜stop it! 😂 i would rather have your problem!
Keep it up man! I was a 46-48 and I’m currently at a 34, how are you doing?
I’m 36 and my goal is to be 40.
I hate being skinny
I had to subscribe. I am having a real problem with the consistency of fit of my Wrangler slim fit jeans. Only one out of three will fit just right. The others are usually too big and sometimes too small. Very good video!
I followed your instructions and I was able to adjust my waist line by taking out a couple of inches on my pants. They fit so much better. Awesome video
The Best Tailor on the Earth, just solved my Prolonged waist issues in a jiffy... thanks man, You're a good Lad👍👍
You’re awesome man, educational and entertaining. Thank and much success to you
Watching your videos inspired me to get back into sewing, thank you!
Awesome to hear! Send me some of your projects I'd love to see them! @astylishd
Tried a saddle stitch with threadwax string. Melted the wax on the string and the finish looks awesome.
I did this cuz i dont have a sweing maching, and I can have perfect taper angles. Takes a lot longer though.
thanks for the tutorial
Nice work! That's dedication!

You made this video so much easier than the other videos I've watched to do this. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I am a cyclist and face the typical thick thigs and thin waist problem. This is gold! thanks

SD out here losing weight during quarantine. Big flex
Yeah...losing weight, about that haha. Hope you're doing well man!
Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video!! I’m so glad I found your channel! I used your method to fix my daughters jeans, we were having this issue so badly with any pants/shorts/sweatpants. The waist is always huge on her, and the elastics that come on kid size jeans wasn’t enough to keep them on without scrunching the jeans and tucking at her skin because how tight they needed to be to not fall off her tall and slim frame, it was my first time sewing actual clothes or tailoring them ever, and they came out perfect! And I mean perfect!!! Thank you so much!!!! I’m going to watch all your videos and continue to tailor our clothes, you make it so simple to follow and doable!! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!! 😃😃😃
Yes!!! I was on the fence about starting alterations on my jeans but after reading your comment I am absolutely going to try. My daughter has the EXACT same problem. For her the legs are too short or the waist is too loose...there is no in-between. Don't even get me started on those horrific elastic bands! 😂 So what the heck? 🤷♀️ I'll be the test subject. If I can figure it out on mine I'll try it on hers. Lol.
My moms getting me a sewing machine for christmas. I love baggy pants but sometimes the waist gets too much. Thanks for this 🙏🙏 simple n easy
Where does Stylish D stores all his videos?
In an SD Card! ba dum tss
Great job! I'm a huge fan, you helped me tailoring my shirts. Keep on doing great content, you deserve more subscribers.
You know whats funny SD I was avoiding my jeans because I didnt want to take out the flat felt seam down the center back of the pants and this just helped me with that problem JUST WHEN I NEEDED THE HELP LOL
Crazy how that works huh?? Yeah forget taking out the flat felled center seam, aint nobody got time for that!
The only saying that cause I'm black helps me with my laugh for the day lol
My 20-year-old son has been watching your vieos and is gonna buy his first sewing machine.
So awesome to hear!! What kind of machine is he thinking of getting?
@@StylishDTailors Singer heavy duty that is all mechanical because then he knows he can fix it.
Tried it with my cheap $19.95 jeans that I only wear in the garage anyway. Worked! I used an overlock to then secure the stitching, we will see how long it lasts 🤣 Now on to shorten them and thinning out the boot cut!
This is a great way of taking in the waist, and a fabulous explanation.
Could I suggest you have your needle in the centre position rather than to the left? It’s easier to sew accurately.
Thanks for the kind words and the advice, it's very welcomed!
This is my first time here...and I LIKE this guy!
Subscribed already! 😊
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹Omg I was thinking “Boot Cut?!?!”🤣, so I was happy to hear the ending!
I have never taken in the waistband of jeans before, this tutorial was very helpful, I got it done well in the first try, thank you for sharing.
Great job!
Lots of downsizing with the price of food these days.
Your videos are awesome 👻
I don’t own a single pair of jeans but I have a lot of shorts that are loose at the waist and I hate belts. This looks like it could work. I have a lot of power tools but not a sewing machine. I’ll have to do by hand. If it works, thanks a million
The whole black panther part made me laugh and thank you for the advice you extremely funny and knowledgeable
You are the man! I had yo buy 36 because I couldn't find 35. But I won't cut my darts, because menopause keeps making my tummy bigger. The joys of being a woman.
You're dope!
Done 3 pants in 15 minutes! Thanks a ton 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
damn I remember seeing your channel a while back, you've really grown!! I appreciate these videos man keep it up
Thanks man! Glad to hear you came back around!
You’ve really made this super easy to understand, I love your videos man!
Yo thank you man now my big jeans won’t go to waste
Possible idea for another video:
I have a pair of ski pants that are too long. These pants have padded knees-- so hemming them at the bottom just won't do, as doing so would turn the knee pads into shin pads. I need to shorten them by about 2-3 inches at the lower thigh level. And they have full-length side zippers that run along the entire outside of the pant leg that will also need to be changed out. These zippers are also 2-way zippers.
Thank you and good luck with your channel.
I never thought I would follow a sewing channel
Crazy how that works sometimes huh??
Amazing thank you I’ve said to my wife I have had enough!! I’m going to learn how to sew and lake my clothes fit. I’m I a 34,35,or36.
Well no worries anymore. Now heading to facebook marketplace to pick up a sewing machine. Yes I just watched the other video.😀
My dude! Perfect timing, thanks for this
This was wildly helpful!!! I just impressed my teenage nephew 🙏👍😄 he loved the alteration. Thank You and thanks to wearing shirts outside pants style 🤣
Question! I've taken in the taper and waist on a pair of pants that were just a little too big, and while they fit much better, now I still have a little too much extra around the groin/butt lol. Any advice or recs? Maybe a narrow outside taper? Love all your videos, and thank you so much for the inspiration 🙏
Sounds like the crotch seam that runs underneath might be out of proportion now. Is it more saggy than you would want?
Hi, thanks a lot. Please how would you downsize the hip and the waist of an Iron Heart 25oz pair of jeans? Best,
Same method really
Wow 😲 I never knew that you could put darts in pants for the waistline. S.D. I look forward in seeing another video, bro you put in excellent work ✌🏾
Really useful because I’m always tailoring my dads clothes I’m the only one in the family who knows how to sew 😂
Love that!
Thank you for this informative video. It makes me curious. To get a better fit below the waist (so it doesn't bubble out), how about removing the stitching of the pockets (enough to fold them back) and make a longer taper to the bottom of the pockets and resewing the pockets back. In your opinion, would that make the butt too tight?
Ehh I'd say yes, that might make the butt a bit too tight
Going to try this! I just need to get denim needles. Can I ask why you didn't finish the seams?
I didn't have enough fabric left on the edges to finish them. You CAN if you want to but you don't have too.
I’ve been trying to tailor my khakis like this for a WHILE. I completely messed up my last pair.
Yeah it can be tricky, thats why I kept my mistake in here so people are prepared for it.
Finally, the RUclips algorithm recommended something useful! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel but, I think I need to start with a, "how to use a sewing machine" video.
would i be able to do this if i had to take in like 6 inches or does it work in just smaller amounts
Downsized my pants after watching this video. Great stuff SD!
this guy is very calming :)
Great sewing advice putting darts on jean waist.
Live your tutorials! Easy to understand and follow. And fun! Question : how do you taper mens winter pants. ? The ones that are lined with flannel. It looks like the lining is tacked at the crotch and sewn into the pockets . So it can’t be removed but can pull lining up to get to seams on the jeans. Fabric is canvas. Thanks
Your tutorials are so easy to follow, thanks!
my favorite method by far, appreciate ya!
Hello, I just wanted to ask if this method would work on regular Trousers.
Great video. We learn much more from mistakes than we do from success.
So true!
Do you think you could make a video on making clothes bigger in some areas? I've got pretty skinny legs, but a wider waist, so its really tough to find clothes that fit well
Thanks for this tutorial- I have a pair of jeans I want to make into a skirt and I first need to take in the waist.. this is the perfect way to do it without disrupting the flow of the skirt. Cool tutorial, funny and informative :D
Thanks a boat load! You saved me SO much time tonight. You ever had a long day working outside in the fresh air? You come home & forgotten to taken in your son's work pants in... for the very next morning?? Yeah, no mood to mess around. This trick of yours _literally_ took me only _half_ the time of your whole video. I don't cut the pants though. Instead, I hand tacked them flat to the waist band. As my luck goes, my giant kid... he's not nearly finished growing yet. (Well, he _is_ only 6'4".) We're gonna need to make them bigger soon, right? LMAO! Again, thanks. Oh & sweet dreams. I is goin' to BED, Night.
It's been almost a week, I hope you're still not sleeping?!?!?
@@StylishDTailors Nah, been really tearing apart a pair of jeans for my son (17 yrs). Suddenly he's all about fashion?? All because Mom (me) started recreating a pair of jeans cause _she_ liked them & couldn't... no _wouldn't_ spend hundreds of dollars on a "really cool" pair. NOW, I'm okay. NOW I can do whatever I want to any pair of his jeans. HAHAHA! Kids, eh?!🤪
@@Digitalhunny your son sounds like me when I was 17!!!
@@StylishDTailors "Young man energy" is CRAZY! Widh I could bottle this shyt up & sell it to the military for a weapon of some sort! When _exactly_ does this level out & become more of a controlled chaos? Asking for my own sanity. LMFAO!
Love, love, love your tutorials. Love the fact that you just get to work. No long intros. Curious what scissors do you like to use?
I don't have a specific brand that I choose, I just make sure they're fabric scissors and not paper scissors.
Brilliant tutorial once again. Just a question however, at the end you said "no need to finish it try them on see how you feel about them". Assuming they are the fit you wanted, would you proceed to zig zag stitch to stop fraying and if so there was no tolerance left to zig zag stitch so what would you advise. Thank you :D
Yup by finish I mean make a zigzag stitch, which isn't mandatory for this. You COULD if you wanted to though.
Never thought of darting the waist, that's brilliant! Now if I can just figure out how to take in the inseam without getting dimples and wrinkles around my crotch
I'll walk you through it, reach out to my on IG. You've been here for a LONG time and it's the least that I can do!
@@StylishDTailors Dude that's super nice of you! I actually don't have IG but I'm sure you'll make a video on it someday and I'm in no rush

I might have to try this. Lost weight and now one of my favorite jeans doesnt fit. Thanks SD!
Wow. Thank you bro, from Russia👏👍
This, I have been wondering about this exact thing. Well done. Thanks
I did a 6 In decrease (1.5) each side and it still looks amazing not as good as 4 but still great
Awesome to hear it worked out for you!
I really appreciate this video. Learn a lot.i really have to try ideas.
