I like the long videos with the 3 together. This was PERFECT. My pants are always 2 inches too short. Now I can buy anything and not worry!! That line in the hem always got me. This solution was excellent!! and I liked the snippet at the end where you added the extra material in a different material. Waiting for that one!!
That fringe is perfect for the off white pants! Love it! I have no preference between the long or short videos. I like them both! But maybe it would be easier to go back later and find a particular technique if it is the only one in the video? You would see it on the video thumbnail.
Yes, that would be the only point for shorter videos for me 🤗 Whereby the title "lengthen pants" is actually perfect. Since there were only three examples, you can fast forward if you want. 👍🏻
I like the longer format better and I love all the variations you have for solving problems. It's very real-life, especially if the sewing isn't as perfect as we would like. You're very calm and reassuring voice makes us understand that it's clothing, we're not building a heart monitor here 😀
Excellent video. Love the 3 contrasting but similar videos. And how professional! I am a visual person, cannot follow words but the video is really helpful. Thank you 🙂💜
I have a pair of Old Navy cargo pants that I love but they are too short. tall size was only 32". I need to add another 2+ inches, but after I picked out the hem, I had very little to work with. plus the hem wasn't even. ragged edges (twill fabric or some drapey type of fabric. they call it a drapey twill. 60% cotton - 40% rayon. I looked for bias tape that would give me the length I needed but so far haven't found a match. it's kind of a beige-y, light tan, off-white color. I did find a remnant that is polyester and very close to the color, but not quite sure how to go about it using fabric. so do I need to cut a strip and make my own bias tape of sorts.? They are a wide leg pant. I find it so frustrating that more talls aren't offered. 32" inseam is NOT tall. I need a minimum of 34" (I'm 5'10), preferable 35" inseam. Can you help? The listings don't always give you the inseam. they just say 'tall'. I do have a serger with a coverhem feature. I don't sew much lately, but I'm open to trying.
You are an excellent teacher and i like both long and short videos. Your instructions are very clear and i can see exactly what you are doing. I look forward to seeing more
I think the longer video so we can see and learn your magic! I love to see your videos and your smart tricks. Man those 1st pants I thought do you get rid of that permanent crease it the hem? Amazing 👏!
This is so good. I absolutely love the trim you used for the 3rd pair of jeans. Where did you find the trim at? I wouldn't mind getting it in a few different colors.
Hi, my friend recently got me a sewing machine because I keep getting stuck with stuff I got online that doesn't fit and your site is SO IMPRESSIVE! I'd like to get some personal advice and ideas on this particular project if you would please; I mistakenly got some flared raw hem light wash Old Navy jeans that are ONLY 23" LONG, OBVIOUSLY WAY TOO SHORT and I like the raw hem so wonder if I should just cut off a lower part and just add and thick band of ??? Groovy patterned material down low and then put the hem back at the bottom?
Great video. I have the problem of the last pants. But they are clean semi-elegant pants. I wouldn’t put a fringe, what else can we use? Dark blue pants.
These are AWESOME! Thank you! I was wondering if you could show how to do a flare insert for a pair of pants/jeans? I'd like to flare out my jeans, but don't know how! :-) Thank you again!
😄😄😄 I know what you mean! I hated the line when they lengthen my school uniform. I think this is the reason that now it's so important for me to make it right! 😂
This video went by so quickly! That first pair, hiding the crease with the stitches was brilliant! I did not understand the 45 degree cut, but probably would get it if I followed the technique. Loved all of the alterations; you did a great job explaining everything. Thank you!
I like the longer vids with the 3 together. But, there’s no reason why you couldn’t release them both ways, is there? Its good to watch the entire vid first, then sometime down the track when you need lengthen some pants, you can say how did she do that fringe one 🤔 and just look for the thumbnail with the fringe. Win,win! 👍🏼
thank you so much! I am quite tall and this is perfect for me, you have inspired me to get creative with lengthening my pants. I loved all 3 methods :) have a nice day!
I like the 3 together. I am very tall, 6’1”, so this topic is near and dear to my heart. I am interested in ideas adding more than an inch to pants because that is commonly what it would take to make regular pants long enough.
I can understand your pain. I really don't get why the industry wouldn't make a couple of extra long pants. I have a 5' 11" customer who get her pants at a place called "Long Tall Sally". It might help a little. Cheers 🥰
Have you ever done this for shirt sleeves on a shirt with a placket and cuffs? I have a couple flannel shirts that the sleeves are 2ish inches too short and all I can think of to fix it is to add a contrasting cuff. Or do you have any other videos/tips that would help in this kind of situation?
Hi! I haven't done a video about it. But what I usually do is add the material to the cuffs. That way, it looks seamly. It's a little tricky with the buttonholes, but it can be done. Cheers 😊
I really like the three together. It gives me a chance to compare the methods, and to see why you chose the one you did. Please keep posting, you have taught me so much!
Love all these ways to extend hems. Being short I have way more experience hemming than unhemming but it’s always good to learn something new! Thank you for sharing!

A Tailors Clapper can really help remove creases and also to set the. Made of smooth unfinished wood. When used with a damp pressing cloth you can get amazing results. I have sewn 56 years but discovered this tool and method when I started altering garments for my family.
I always love finding a great fringe for this purpose. At times I will add a bit to a top to wear with the pant.. I like your fix for hiding the fading, I've become rather good at using different spot dyeing tricks, I may try your trick next time. And your jeans patch was perfect.
@@DowntownTailoring I normally use alcohol dyes, applied with a syringe. And just like the colors used to create pictures on stamps, which all stamps only use the same 3 colors in different combinations, those same 3 colors can be used for cloth. If you wish to examine this, I would suggest researching how postal stamp coloring is done, from there it's practice. I check color match on the area where the surger is used.
Mostly I use the first method for my pants. I'm 1,86m and even the pants in long sizes are too short. 🙄 Your videos are such an inspiration! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You just notice the experience from dealing with a wide variety of problems from the many different customers on a daily basis! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 So thank you for sharing your experiences and for showing your skills! 💖 There are often remarkable tricks and tips that you have developed over the years. That makes it so much easier for us! Especially because it is something quite different, whether you sew a completely new garment or if you change an already finished one and make it fit perfectly. I even think that it is by far the greater challenge, because as an alteration tailor anyway, but also as a hobby tailor, you have not sewn your purchased clothing yourself. You have to think your way into it every time. Luckily my mother in law is a really goog trained seamstress and has already taught me many things over the last years and still does 🥰 I think I'll never become such a perfect tailor like she is. But I hope, that it'll be good enough for me and my familiy 👍🏻
This comment was such a lovely, beautiful read. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m always happy to help share what I know, I’m always learning every day too! Cheers! 🥰
Thank you very much for this video; exactly what I was hoping for! I like the three videos in one and can speed forward to whichever will work on my pants. Thank you 💕💃🏻
I love this video I don't mind long or three short. I just love watching you work. I have found if the fabric can be wet. I like to use a spray bottle of white vinegar. It will remove a crease pretty well on double knit. It will also set a good hem on double knit and to my usage, it has not smelled like vinegar. I always keep a spray bottle as well as a spray bottle of water. Thank you for all you do for us. Hoping you reach 100K subscribers soon. I can see it happening.
Thanks so much for the tip Evelyn. You transported me to my teen years. The seamstress that show me how to use a sewing machine use to lengthen my brothers' school pants and she used vinegar too. I completely forgot about it until I read your comment. Now I'm thinking about her, and her house and the way she said that we have to clean the machine after every use 💕💕💕 Beautiful times!
@@DowntownTailoring thank you for this reply. I do it so automatically I don't even think of it as a hint to keep our machines cleaned and oiled. It is the most important thing about sewing. I taught my daughter this from an early age. I do embroidery for a family-owned shop in our town I also have 2 home embroidery machines I purchased for my daughter to have something she was able to do at home. Our machines will give us fewer problems if we keep them in good running order. I have a Singer 20U at home I would love to have Juki but as long as my Singer works good I am ok. I sew patches on Letterman Jackets for the shop, here in Southern Ohio, that is how I ended up at the shop. The previous owner could not find anyone to sew letters and yr numbers on jackets and when the new owner took over I went in to ask if she wanted me to continue to sew them.( I sew at home and help my daughter sew for the Farmers Market.) The new owner asked if I could run a 15 needle embroidery machine and I told her it had been more than 20 years since I had done that and I was retired. She asked if I could help her out until she could find someone. Wellllll that was 2 years ago I am still there. There is no stress I embroider when we have things to embroider I work until I am tired then I come home and the owner and two other ladies that work there are like family. I taught the owner to sew when we were closed down for the pandemic. I took in 3 of my machines and taught my co-workers to sew masks, I taught them to chain sew them, we each had our part and it went so quickly, my son-in-law did all our cutting and at first we donated over 2 thousand to area nursing homes and first responders, then people wanted to buy them, we made over 7 thousand masks. and it helped to pay our expenses at the shop and kept our store going until we were permitted to open for business again. I love your channel you are so real and you are the best instructor I have ever watched.
@@1954evelyn Thanks so much Evelyn! Mask kept my business going too. Of course, we donated as well. I have a little embroidery machine and there’s a great need for embroidery but I think I don’t have enough time to open myself to this market too. Although I love it. Cheers!
Thank you for showing us those very nice techniques. You did a really good job of explaining how to do them as well. I don't know if many people would be interested in this, but could you show how to add a great deal of length to a pair of jeans? I have friends who are very tall (both men and women over six feet and three inches tall) who have a hard time finding jeans and other pants tall enough. They know I do a little sewing and so have asked me if I could add several inches on to different pairs of jeans and make them look good. I am not sure how to do this...any suggestions?
Hi Sharon, thank you so much for your compliments!! Wow! They are quite tall haha. I will definitely keep this in mind and see if I can post a solution to this problem. I hope to post a "quick tutorial" on this!
Very clever, stitching in the crease line with the first pair of pants. Makes it all but invisible. Like the fringe, too. Pair it with a flannel shirt and you have the perfect look for autumn 👍
Overall I like shorter videos because my attention span is shorter. I have learned so much from your videos and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! I have used your ideas for a few of my repairs and plan to do more to save clothes from being discarded.
I like the long videos with the 3 together. This was PERFECT. My pants are always 2 inches too short. Now I can buy anything and not worry!! That line in the hem always got me.

Aww you're so sweet Vivian! Thanks for your comment!
I like the longer videos. Could you tell how you began sewing and how you learned all these skills?
Thank you for the great classes. I also prefer longer videos. With gratitude.
I love to help out! Glad you liked it Roxana! :))
I kinda prefer long videos for tutorials....but it's not a strong preference. I'll watch either way.

it is called mitering and is a very good way to "hide" a seam. It is also done in wood working as well.

I took in 3 of my machines and taught my co-workers to sew masks, I taught them to chain sew them, we each had our part and it went so quickly, my son-in-law did all our cutting and at first we donated over 2 thousand to area nursing homes and first responders, then people wanted to buy them, we made over 7 thousand masks. and it helped to pay our expenses at the shop and kept our store going until we were permitted to open for business again.
I love your channel you are so real and you are the best instructor I have ever watched.
@@1954evelyn Thanks so much Evelyn! Mask kept my business going too. Of course, we donated as well. I have a little embroidery machine and there’s a great need for embroidery but I think I don’t have enough time to open myself to this market too. Although I love it. Cheers!
Thank you for showing us those very nice techniques. You did a really good job of explaining how to do them as well. I don't know if many people would be interested in this, but could you show how to add a great deal of length to a pair of jeans? I have friends who are very tall (both men and women over six feet and three inches tall) who have a hard time finding jeans and other pants tall enough. They know I do a little sewing and so have asked me if I could add several inches on to different pairs of jeans and make them look good. I am not sure how to do this...any suggestions?
Hi Sharon, thank you so much for your compliments!! Wow! They are quite tall haha. I will definitely keep this in mind and see if I can post a solution to this problem. I hope to post a "quick tutorial" on this!
Aida, Do you save cut-aways from jeans you shorten to match to others needing lengthening?
@@monaanz6754 Yes. I keep most of them. 😉
Very clever, stitching in the crease line with the first pair of pants. Makes it all but invisible.
Like the fringe, too. Pair it with a flannel shirt and you have the perfect look for autumn 👍
I agree completely! Thank you so much!
Overall I like shorter videos because my attention span is shorter. I have learned so much from your videos and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! I have used your ideas for a few of my repairs and plan to do more to save clothes from being discarded.
Thank you so much Donnette, I'm so glad to help out!
