Taking in the Crotch on Jeans: A Professional's Process
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 янв 2021
- In today's video, I demonstrate how I take in the crotch on a pair of jeans. This process is notoriously difficult. I hope that with my instructions today, I have helped facilitate this process for you! Please don't be afraid to comment on any questions you may have! Too often, we wear jeans that sag around the bum area and it's not too flattering! This process leaves the front just as before but the rear area is more tailored, yielding a flattering result!

I find the tearing out of the threads, very satisfying for some reason, lol.
Yes. Very satisfying 🙂
I must agree! 😀
Same here - lol
It would be nice to see the before and after on an actual person so we can see the fit. Thank you for this video.
Yes... I would like to see how the garment fits on the customer/person
If the customer didn’t believe you, you could show him the fabric you cut. This is so educational. Thank you for showing us how a professional does it. I learnt how to modify my jeans from one of your earlier videos.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I have to admit that I have mix feelings. When a customer doubts if I did the job I feel very accomplished because it means the job is well done, but in the other hand, I feel I'm accused of scamming. Then I laugh at myself for having so opposed feelings at the same time 🙂
@@DowntownTailoring You have mixed emotions because you are an honest, caring, professional.
This is exactly what I needed. I tried to adjust my dad's work pants & they came out ok but I definitely needed a better way. I'm going to try it this way next time.
Edit: finally used this method with some trousers for my mom. Me & my mom have short torsos & we constantly have this problem with having a sag in the front. But this worked great & didn't take long.
I am going to watch and rewatch and rewatch this video because I just bought some jeans that need this exact alteration. Thank you!!!
Ohhh wow I feel flattered, thank you and good luck!!
I’ve ordered so many pants sewing patterns from professional designers and didn’t solve my baggy pants problem. Thank you so very much!
That's really nice to hear! You can watch this video for more info about the crotch. Crotch is the last trick!

Thank you for this video! I've lost nearly 30 lbs and really didn't want to try to replace my favorite pants and jeans! Thanks to you, I've altered 3 pairs of dress pants and 2 pairs of jeans this weekend and my pants will fit better than they have in a while! You are wonderful! 🤗😊
Thanks so much! I'm so glad to hear 😍 Thanks for letting me know 💞💞💕
This alteration is so well explain. Thank you. I had no idea this could be done!
Thank you so much! It's a bit of a hidden gem but the results are super flattering!
This is SO HELPFUL thank you! Ive seen other videps describing how to remove excess fabric from the rise but not how to do it with a flat felled seam. Thank you!!
this is sooo satisfying to watch... alterations are so fascinating!
Hi i had seen your videos before about making jeans bigger they were very useful. I was trying to take in crotch before watching your video but messed up and jeans became too tight so i had to add wide elastic on sides from top to bottom to make it flexible. The way you show how to undo stitches before taking in crotch in fact everything you teach is awesome and you make it look so easier but i still have other jeans so i certainly would follow your advice. Please keep making such useful videos. Many thanks .
Amazing talent and able to turn it into a business, because your work is so perfect.
You are a blessing! Loving to see these alteration videos, makes it much easier for us non professional to know the simplest way to go about doing these more time consuming alterations :) Loving all the videos :)
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!
What a GREAT video! Informative and entertaining! The ASMR sounds of the stitches and sewing machine were cool as well! Thank you!
A true demo of pro tailoring.Helpful to many. Thank you.
Thanks 🥰
Brilliant! Love your work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I’m glad you liked it! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! This is wonderful! Pinning it where it's more comfortable and the fabric is less bulky is life changing. And only removing from the back to keep the original stitch! Chef's kiss! Thank you!
Glad you like it! 🥰🥰🥰
I love your methods! I've altered jeans before and they held up, but with your instructions they look more professionally altered! thank you thank you!
Thank you very much 😊
That was amazing! Such craftsmanship. Thank you.
Ouuu thank you so much!
You're a wizard as far as I'm concerned, sewing is something that has always frustrated me since I'm so bad at it. That's amazing :)
Thanks so much 🥰 I was very, very bad at sewing when I started 😁
This is so well explained! I was looking for a good way to alter my jeans, because I like baggy legs but the problem is the the crotch. I will be trying to alter my trousers in the future, thank you!
Thank you so much for this explanation!
Thank you so much! I took two sewing courses in college and didn't learn this!
Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to watch this a couple more times to get it right!
Excellent!!! Love your skills and the way you explained them, learning to tailor, 👌😍
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 😭😭💖 now I feel more confident in altering my jeans
These are such helpful videos thank you!
That was absolutely amazing! You really nailed that & it looks like you have been altering clothes for a very long time as you are indeed so good at it as jeans are very difficult to alter. Cheers 😊❤️🥰😍💕😘
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
This was a wonderful demo, thank you!
Thank you I do alterations but I have never opened up and adjusted a flat felled seam on jeans - I thought it couldn't really be done. Thank you for this.
I'm glad to help. Thanks 🥰
As a girl who buys men's pants (I like having functional pockets) I constantly deal with too much crotch. This is a lifesaver! Thank you!
Would it be easier to put funtional pockets on the women's jeans instead?
You're my favourite seamstress 😁 thank you for helping me sew my jeans.
Thank you for sharing how you alter saggy pants. I have lost weight and have this problem with my jeans and other pants. Will have a go at doing this method and get more wear out of my jeans before buying new ones.
This is great to see the professional way to do this. I have done it on my pants by just sewing up the crotch seam tighter but I didn’t take the original seam out. If I ever did then I just zigzagged or used the serger on it, but my husband has several pairs of jeans with really bad saggy butt. I may brace up and try this on his jeans.
Another skillful alteration and enjoyable video watching the master reconstruction. 👏👏👏
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL and easy to follow. thank you!
Thanks 😊
You sure have a talent! True craftmanship! Bravo!
Thanks so much 🥰

Thank you! I may have to try on thrift store jeans first, but now I hope I can save my daughter's jeans and make them look nice and be comfortable!
I am actually going to make a video on altering thrift store jeans soon! Stay tuned :))
It. Takes a lot of patience I'll pray you can hang in there it's called custom fit I use to do this now retired when it gets on your nerves walk away
Very valueable stitch.thanks
Thank you for this tutorial! You’re helping
me to go past my fear of messing up !
You can do it! 😊
Thank you for your wonderful explanation.
Thank you for your kind words, as always! :)
You are so skilled!!
Thanks so much! 🥰
So well explained.
Wow so helpful!!
I wouldn't have the patience, but watching you and listening to you has lulled me into a pleasant state of being.
Yeah, same here. I love her voice. I would be a different person entirely if everyone spoke like she does.
I didn't get as technical as you down inseam but worked out great Thank you so much! 👍
Great to hear! 🥰
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Very helpful. thanks very much God bless you
You are the goddess of alterations 💜💜💜
Great teacher!
Glad you think so! 🥰
Thank you! Very helpful video!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Wow! Wonderful teacher, thank you.
Thank you so much Kate!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was able to fix baggy pants (not jeans) that I had just ordered (size 4P, and I still had to take in over two inches!). I was a little off at the central part of the crotch, somehow I didn’t quite line up the front and back properly, but nobody can see that. My pants now fit just right. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Aweeee! 🥺 Thanks so much. This comment makes me so glad! Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself correctly. Cheers 🥰🥰🥰
MA cuisine: If you use a small strip of wonder tape on either the front or back crotch seam, then can line up opposite crotvh seam and the seams will hold together perfectly lined up, while you sew, no pins needed in the crotch seams.. (Wonder tape has 2 sticky sides, and will wash away. Great stuff, so useful. Excuse me please, if you already know about Wonder Tape I too must alter down several inches on my clothes. I wear 00, (but not a petite) and hard to find anything that fits.
Mrs. out of all the videos Ive seen on all alteration, your videos are the best. thumbs up on your skills😃
Thanks so much! 🥰
Your welcome
That is so useful! Great tutorial!
I’m glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing a brilliant video x
I'm glad you liked it!!!
Very professional, interesting and insightful.
Thanks so much 🥰
LOVE the insight into the skill required to do different trades. I will pay the professionals (hehe).
THANK YOU QUEEN!!!
I LOVE this channel
Thank you! 🥰
Amazing alteration, thank you
Thanks! 😊
Thankyou so much for this. Very helpful 🌷
My pleasure 🥰
Great explanation... now I’ll listen 28 more times as I try to follow along step by step. I’m 6’ tall with a 36” inseam and a size 11... so I never find pants that fit correctly. Always end up with men’s jeans with the men’s crotch. Either that or I pay $300 for jeans. Gonna try this on my $7 thrift find and see how closely I can follow along.
Thank you for the excellent video!
Glad you liked it! 🥰🥰🥰
Great video
So helpful! Thank you!! I have been trying to figure out how to do this for my kids’ pants. Can you show a video of how you fit it on the person to figure out how much and where to take in?
Yes! I'll work on this.
Merci pour l'astuce.
You always make it look easy 😅😅😊❤
You can do it! 🥰🥰🥰
I really enjoy your videos ⭐ thank you
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Awesome! I have so many of my pants I need to take in.
My pleasure! 🥰
Thank you that was so helpful, I'd never in a million years have thought of doing it this way! It would have been nice to have seen the jeans on the person before and after, but I guess if they're paying customers, they might not want to :)
Yes! Not all the customers feel comfortable modeling 😁
Ugh, yeah I think I'm just gonna return the pants and start over again! sigh 😞
But YOU'RE AWESOME AND DID AN AMAZING JOB!! I WISH I HAD YOUR TALENT!! 💗
Well explained.
Thanks 😊
What do you do about jeans that fit really well, except the front zipper area “hangs”? The back fits well. They’re plus size and are made for larger tummy, which I don’t have.
Just what I have been looking for. Cleaners and seamstresses in my area need to hire you to hold classes where you teach them how to do this. Had 3 tell me couldn't be done.
Your customer is going to think this alteration was simple, since jeans look the same as before. Customer will think price should be cheap. Haha And they will be so wrong. I will attempt this on my own pants, but no one could afford my alteration price for this job. Thank you for this awesome helpful tutorial. I would add, on the first pair I try this on since I am notnot a professonal, I am going to only baste seam together until I try pants on. Just incase I have taken in too much or too little.
Thanks so much for your comment. It is SO true! I didn't see it before from this point of view but it's so certain. Producing a job that is virtually invisible is more difficult, yet the customer will think otherwise 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Thanks to much for opening my eyes with your comment. 💞💞💕
Ohhh! I have so much more to learn from you! New subscriber!
Thanks 🥰 Welcome to our community!
Thank you so much, worked perfectly, even on my stretchy jeans
I'm so glad 😊 Thanks for letting me know!
I wish I saw this video years ago. I gave up on wearing pants because I didn’t know how to fix them. Skirts, on the other hand, are so easy to fix. Thank you for this valuable education. 😁
It’s my pleasure! I find that this alteration is a less known one for a super common problem!
Hiya, love this video - very useful!. Just wondering if it would work if I took it in the front instead?
Professional absolutely stunning
Thanks 🥰
You are amazing!
thank you! You saved me from yelling at my hubby while trying to hem his work pants 😆
Marriage counselor 😁😁😁
Magnificent!
Thank you Maria!!!
Clear & simple, this is what I need. I get wrinkle/crumpled everytime I reach the crotch. What's the secret of not to bootle neck?Thanks
Thank you so much for this video, you are amazing. I stumbled onto your channel, so glad I did! Can you show your subscribers how you get your measurements? Thank you and God bless.
Thanks so much 🥰 I think this video might help you 😉

Very cool! Is there a way to alter a pair of jeans from high/mid waist to a low waist? I know lower waisted pants are not 'in' right now but the high waist just does not look good on me and I find it really uncomfortable.
Very good! 😎😎😎
