And this is why I never complain about price when taking clothes to a tailor. I can take in my own shirts and taper my pants legs, but altering the waist, taking in shoulders, adjusting coats... never in my life will i be able to do that. Grateful for those who make a career out of this amazing and patience-testing skill.

Thank you for this. While other videos showed the easy ways to alter the waistband, it wasn't too flattering for the jeans. This is definitely the tutorial i was looking for! Great job!
Wow thank you so much! :D
Yes, thankyou :D
The best tutorial I've seen on downsizing jeans! And I've seen quiet a few... So professional and well explained. Bravo!
Wow thank you so much! I’m very glad you enjoyed it :))

You are a natural-born teacher & a skilled craftsperson, you've got yourself a new subscriber. I've been sewing nearly 50yrs, mostly self-taught from books & I believe we can always learn more from others. I love the logical way you work & how thoroughly you explain it all - clearly proving that when people throw a piece of clothing at us, saying 'You can take this in, right? It's only a small job' that they usually have *no* idea. 🤦♀️
Haha you're absolutely right about that! Anyway, I really appreciate your kind words and your support! Thank you Joanne :)
I used this tutorial today, and even as a very novice sewer, this was clear and easy to follow, and I'm very happy with the results on my own jeans - they fit beautifully!
Amazing tutorial, I've seen loads where people just put darts in the back but it's so obvious. You've made me think I might actually be able to do this. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words!!
I did this and the results were fantastic!! Very well done tutorial!! Makes everything super easy for us learning!!!
Wow! That’s great to hear, thanks for updating us!
best tutorial ever!! I did the downsizing in 3h by hand!! because I don't have a sewing machine. it ended up looking amazing and I had no stress doing it (because I saw some videos of people suffering while doing this haha) it was a happy process! thank you very much for sharing 😊❣️
i don't have a sewing machine either! can i ask what stich you used and if it holds up on a regular cycle in the washing machine?
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen in any category. Thank you!
Wow! This is such a stellar compliment! Thank you so much!!! :)))
Thank you for including all the details. This was super helpful! I watch this again every time I do a jeans alteration just to make sure I'm doing it right.
this is such an incredible tutorial, the clearest i had ever seen! and the results are fantastic too. also learned something about flat-felled seams!
This is the only proper tutorial on how to take in jeans seams. Everyone else is completely disregarding the original seam style which is so key in the overall look! I was fearing it would be to difficult for me to attempt, but you made it so clear that I'm ready to give it a go :) Thank you!
Best tutorial I’ve found for taking in jeans waist. Thanks for showing us the proper way to do it.
Osiyo. Super demonstration. Ur the best. Thanks
I wish all RUclips tutorials were like this! What a great video ❤️
Been looking for a video that can help me alter big pants to my size and this is video makes me understand more easy 😊 not a professional semistress just using it for my own repair so no need to go and pay this helps alot Thank you
This is so well made. I've been looking for a video like this and it's perfect! Definitely going to downsize my pants like this.
I've struggled many times with this alteration knowing there must be a better way. Thank you for this video because you've shown me it! Brilliant video, highly recommended 👍

this video is really underated. i got hand me down jeans from my mom recently for school and i’ve been able to tailor the waist well
Merci ! This is a great video, wonderful technique and a lot of useful details and comments. Thanks to you I have been able to alter a pair of jeans this afternoon and the end result was quite ok for a first attempt. Solely relying on your video.
Wow!!!! I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you very much. Hopefully with practice you’ll be able to make perfect alterations soon! :)
Awesome video. I was ready to send hubby's jeans to an alteration shop until I saw this. Really well done!!
Thank you for such a clear video on how to get proper professional looking results!
My pleasure 🥰
This was an oh so awesome tutorial!!
You’re so talented and patience.
Good tips. Thanks. I saw a few other videos showing this proper way.. yours is very good. I was lazy and just tucked in the sides a little and hand stitched. Bumpy and they still fall down. Will do this way.
You're a master!!! Thank you, I've learned a lot!!!
I am so delighted with your video and directions. Perfect details about what and why you do certain things.
I have always altered my own clothes buy seeing how a professional does it helps me too. I am going to look at other things that you teach. Thanks
Ouuu this is such a kind comment, thank you so much!! I’m glad to have helped :))
This is one of the best sewing videos I've seen! I used this on shorts instead of pants and they turned out great!
Wow!!!! That's so exciting to hear! Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad it turned out well :)
This video is the best. There are so many videos where the alterations look awful and the pants ended up looking into something I would not wear. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much!!!!
I'm a beginner. Just bought my sewing machine this month, but one of my dreams to be able to work on/resize in the future are jeans. Jeans make or break a look. My mom and I always have issues when it comes to proper fitting jeans(we always visit the tailor), and so someday I want to be able to adjust jeans myself properly. Hopefully I learn the basics fast! I've only learned how to sew pillow cases and pajamas. So I guess I have a long way to go 😅
Thank you for this very detailed and great video. I wish to be as great as you soon!
Wow thank you this is very helpful!
Your post is amazingly detailed. I repair the clothes myself, especially the jeans, and I find that I miss the professional sewing machine. Its purchase is in my future plans. Fotini from Greece
Thanks! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 😀
Thank you for this tutorial. I was finally able to fix jeans that were a tad big on the waist and now it fits perfectly. Your video was so helpful and the instructions were clear. Love the professional way of fixing them. Thanks!
I'm very glad! Thanks for letting me know 🥰
Brilliant video thank you so much!
Woah this tutorial is awesome ... super helpful, thank you!

Really professional result. The best I've seen so far. Congratulations on the technique and the video.
That is so kind, thank you!!!
Fabulous video enjoyed watching. I used a felling machine back in the day technique in using the folding feeder but I was sewing suede coats and covered in fur lol. You could help yourself to supplies for a few pounds but I am going back 35 years.
Excellent idea Daisy!!
Awesome job as usual! Professional job by a professional person.
Thank you so much!!!
This is far past my skill level. I appreciate this video immensely. Attention to detail. Well done!
Thanks! I followed this today for a pair of chinos! The inside seams were slightly different, but your tutorial worked great, and I'm very happy with the results!
Wow!!!! I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for trying it and for the kind comment :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had a pair of purple jeans I loved but I have wide hips compared to my waist and they always sagged really really bad. I followed your tutorial and was able to take in 3 inches and they fit PERFECT now! The small details did not come out quite as flawless as yours did, but for my purposes they were completely fine! Thank you so much for helping to bring back this lost art form and combat fast fashion! 🙌✨❤️
I'm so glad! ☺ Thanks for letting me know 🥰
Thank you soooo much. I've just did it with my new jeans and its perfect!!!
I'm so glad to hear! Thanks for letting me know 🥰
Thank you thank you for this video! I was able to take an ill fitting pair of jeans by 3 inches at the waist, and they look amazing!!! It looks like they were always this way. Fantastic tutorial - would highly recommend.
Ouuuuu that’s amazing!!!!!!! Thank! It’s my absolute pleasure!
Thanks🙂 Well explained

It’s so nice to see your professional sewing! I’d like to know how to take in thighs on double stitched seam pants please🙏
Hey Ladies 👋🏾 you did a splendid job 👏🏾👏🏾 I got my first job today and it is to do a similar thing. I will revisit this post if I have to 😂 thank you for sharing 💝💝💝
This is the best video on this!!
Thanks so much 🥰
Super helpful, thanks!
nicely done and well scripted. I like the casual, friendly narrative that sounds like you are talking to me, and not to the camera. Thanks. JR
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🥰
Wow, what a great instructional video. :)
Thank you so much Jennifer! Glad you liked it!
Incredible. I love it. But the truth is this needs time very well made video.
best video on tailoring jeans!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻i usually hammer the flat felles seam just to make it easier for the machine, even if I use a triple feed that seam is tricky 😂
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you so very much for this wonderful teaching video. I am about to use your technique for myself, although thankfully I do not have any belt loops to remove and re-attach!. Have subscribed to your channel. Warm wishes from South Australia. 🐾🥰
Thanks! Hello 🇨🇦
