- In this video I'll show you how to downsize jeans to fit you perfectly, by resizing the waist and legs like a professional.
In this tutorial I'm working with oversized XL men's jeans and turn it into a well fitted women's jeans, with frayed hem.
So this is my brother's old jeans ( thrifted) , he no longer want it, so I decided to make good use of it! ( It's a thrift flip I guess ) .
I will humbly say that I like the final results.
You can apply what you will learn here on any thrifted vintage pants or thrifted jeans.
I take in fabric from 3 places: the sides by that I mean both sides at once, the center back and by creating 2 darts that will be hidden in the back pockets.
You will also see how you can Diy frayed hem.
I hope this video is helpful!

This is among the most informative videos i've ever watched about downsizing jeans! It's like all the techniques the other channels featured in their videos has been merged into one
Thank you for your comment! it means a lot 🧡 and i'm glad you like the tutorial!
I agree, so easy to follow! Thank you!
I bought a 3xl for $3 and I want to make it my size. Anxiety tells me I can't do it so I'm here to reassure myself lol.
Anyway thanks for the video.
So how did it go? 💜
OMG This is exactly what I've been looking for!! Just found some of my dads old jeans and I really wanted to reuse it!✨ Thanks 🌼
Great video. I wanted to see the results of the back pocket area and the dart - but your hands were in the pockets so we could not see. And on the sides, where you cut away fabric at the hips - I noticed the little rivet was still there - so I wonder how you could run the Serger along that line, since the rivet was going to be in the way - but in the final result, it seemed like it moved inward, closer to the midline. However, I really liked how you worked your magic. Your sewing skills are very, very good.
Thank you for this! My husband was getting rid of some old jeans that no longer fit him that I can now kidnap from the donation pile 💙
One of the best videos on tailoring jeans. Thank you so much 🙏💕
you are extremely great in your tutorial layout of adjusting men pant. keep it up , you are very good . i like it
Excellent video. I will try this on beautiful pants I thrifted but they are big for me.
Thanks for this video! The best I've seen so far, I was just missing something, a good image of the final look of the darts in the back. Great job!
You welcome! yes you are right! I will try to make an other thrift flip tutorial and i will male sure to show the back as well 🧡
That's maybe because the pockets stick out after :-( I followed the tutorial for this part, but I will try to resolve the pocket problem on my own.
very nice video, good info. Only thing i would have done different is the waisteband i would have devided it under the middle belt latch and cut the same amount of excess on both sides :-)
I've lost 44# and want to keep some of my $$ dress slacks. Your video is just what I needed. Thank you so much.
Great work great idea 💡
Amazing video. So professional explained
You better for more view compare to other tutorial..so nicely detailed
yes you are right! thank you for the remark 🧡
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. I deeply appreciate your advice and explanation. Blessings
You didn’t show the backside ): not being perverted, I wanted to see how the darting looked, if it blended in well or not on the rear pockets. You showed the back but your hands were blocking the dart stitch you made ;;
Excellent job mam, you just saved a lot of money repairing your brother’s! I might say too you have a very patience attitude!❤😊
Lunar Sew great and most informative video i've seen, you are very good and really specify everything to the point, God Bless!
This is extra level
Amazing job!!

Nice work and nice result
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Exactly what i was looking for 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you. I'll try it tommorow then let you know my results..m 🙏❤️
I love the video and got all the way through i just dont know how to put the button back on...
Amazing video so helpful 🙏🏽✨
Great work .
Hi ❤ video, so much detail cudnt find elsewhere thank you. I was wondering if you got some idea you can share about how to eliminate diagonal draglines on back of jeans,etc. Eagerly waiting for the response
Well done .. the pants were killed of wearing 😂😂
Great video. I did notice that the footage of the back dart showed a 6 cm width, which had been corrected in later shots. Also, you must have removed the back pockets before sewing the dart?
I do not think she did
very gooooood
Very nice thanks and support from India
Can you show what the back of the jeans looks like with this method? I would like to see it before I attempt taking so much out.. I don’t want my pockets to sag or the middle seam to pucker. Thank you for sharing!! Jen
I wanted to see too but her hands are in the way at the end. It definitely looks as though the pockets were removed for the alterations and then replaced again at the end.
I think you can sew the darts without removing the pockets as the large part of the dart is well above the pocket, and you fold thé fabric avoiding thé pockets
What about the back pockets?
This was such a helpful video, thank you!!
A very nice well demonstrated video on the skills & method of desizing a pair of jeans.Thank you.🙏
Oooooo this is so good! Just one question though, I know you used 2 approaches, but is it fine is I only use the sides to adjust the pants? I only have one butt pocket and I don’t want the darts to be supper noticeable on my corduroy pants
Great job
Lots of information. Thank you! I take it that the back did not work out well as I seen no pictures of the back. I won’t attempt.
Thank you for the tutorial! I have a question: can i take fabric from the sides only?
You welcome 🧡 ofc you can take fabric from the sides without modifying the waist part if the jeans is not super baggy!
@@lunarsew 🙏
I have a lot of jeans. I want to take up the waist and hem them but scared to start because I don't want to mess them up lol. You make it look so easy.
hhhh Honestly it's not that easy you really need to pay attention to the details! well may be you should start by your less favourite pair of jeans and once you are happy with the results then you can downsize the other ones!
PS: Sorry for the late reply I didn't see your comment!
Me gusto mucho fácil de entender y directo
❤. Video. I was wondering if you got some idea about how to eliminate diagonal draglines on back of jeans. Is it possible on readymade jeans.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 🧡
Great tutorial! But what did you do for the top button that was cut off? 😅
Thank you it’s very helpful
My pleasure😁
Awesome
Très informative. Cependant, comment faire si le pantalon n'est pas "taille basse"?
lovely
Merci beaucoup
Hi...can you do an upsize for slim fit jeans?...specially the calves and the ankles
Love it💕
Hi, I followed this method but having issues with back pockets fist the opening got narrowed and 2nd i cant describe it with my english but its not in normal shape
Excelente video 🙂🙂🙂
Nice one thank you
Hola, que bueno que comparta el video, me gustó como quedó que
Why not, after measuring the waste, cut the band in the center back under the loop and stitch the loop in place or do withou❤t the center back loop to keep the original button hole and button placement?🎉
Wow you're good.
Thank you ! you are nice 🧡
Hola me gustaria saber si la tela era elasticada o si era 100% algodón?

U are professional, fantastic!
This is super helpful and clear, thanks for sharing. What sewing machine do you use? Do you have a recommendation for brands for a beginner? I want a machine that can handle denim
Singer heavy duty. Check out their website.
After you cut off the end of the waistband that had the button on it, how did you re-attach the button to the waistband?
I don't know if I missed something, but won't the darts at the back leave the pockets gaping?
Ma'am just I hv a question about the pockets on the back..
Valeu o esforço 😊
What brand of scissors are you using?They seem sharp to cut through two layers of denim
This video really looks helpful. But can I ask which sewing machine you used?
thank you! I'm using Toyota Super Jeans 15 Black .
Hello, I have a pair of thick cotton camo pants that are way too big,
I want to completely tear them down and re-sew, As I think I could do the best job doing it the long way,
These are so thick and soft I want to save them,
I don't think it would be too hard, any videos on this?
Entendi q de la parte de delanterq tenías 10 cm sobrantes y luego de tu parte trasera 2 cm serían 12 cm entonces no entiendo como las pinzas traseras son de 6 cm cada una si en los costados ya tendrias 3cm de cada lado.que numero de aguja y que tipo de hilo se utiliza para este tipo de costuras gruesas
يعني الكتابه ماخذه كل الشاشه شلون انشوف الشغل كلشي مافتهمنه
Achei perfeita❤
I should have watched this before messing up 2 pairs of trousers
Muito bom
I want to do this on my jeans that have stretched out. Will it still work?
I would first wash them to see if they come back to their original size. If they don't then proceed.
👌👌👌👍
omg what sewing machine do you use?!
What sewing machine is that???
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
tailor chalk always breaking
👏
I bought a pair in sale and then lost some weight now it's way too loose on me and I don't have someone as talented as you near me.
Please use a darker chalk so we can see it
