- Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to show you these extensive alterations I made! My customer fell in love with the material and print of these pants but hated the drawstring elastics. He also had another pair of trousers that he loved the elevated haute-couture waistband. So I told him I could mimic the waistband of his trousers using the material of a second copy of the pants he liked. Then with the original, I turned it into a pair of shorts with the athletic drawstring!

Is there nothing you can't do? That was amazing. You are magician, I swear.
Thanks so much! You are so kind 💕
Oh I am amazed at what you created. Talent pours off you. If he could afford 2 pairs of cashmere/wool pants, he could afford you and your extra work. Enjoyed watching you handle this alteration.
Miss, I wish I could be close by to learn from you. You represent a true artistry that few designers even own, much less put within their garments. I love your content. Thank you.
Oh my gosh!!! What a compliment ☺️ Thank you so much!!
@@DowntownTailoring . I sat as a child by my Grandma as she worked on bridal gowns. She worked alongside side so many talented & never recognized seamstresses & tailors for the fashion houses. The trousers remind me of their work. The stitched beautiful items from scraps & thensome. In truth, your work reminds me of a trouser mid 80's from Calvin Klein. Sad to say, the items being offered to the masses are not want it use to be. Again, I respect your work. I wished Grandma had shared your knowledge with me, they demanded schoolwork.
Me too, I'd take a course with this lady if I could
I just did very similar wool dress pants for a client. He was 94 years old. I needed to take them from a 32 waist to a 38. He owns many name hand made wool suits. They are amazing how the hand stitching was done with supreme excellence. Including original tailor tack from original patterning. They came out perfect. Quality makes such a difference. Thank you for reinforcing my techniques.
I love the fabric of those pants, and the tailoring details are amazing. I especially like the waistband on the lighter color pair of pants, I can see why he wanted it duplicated. You do amazing work, thank you for producing this video!
Wow! Just wow! You are an absolute legend. Those trousers went from ‘why did they put elastic & a draw string in those pants 🤢’. To ‘those pants are FANTASTIC!!
Aweeee! Thanks so much! 🥰🥰🥰
That buttonhole with the belt loop and little pocket, very cool. Had not seen that, thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰
Laughing so loud about losing the zipper pull! It happened to me a few months ago and boy was I super mad about it. Hoping I learned my lesson and it doesn't happen again. I never thought about putting safety pins... that is very smart! These pants turned out great and I love that you made shorts with the second pair and the drawstring is casual, which makes it so nice for summer shorts with a white tee. In this case, a very expensive white tee because the material of these pants is absolutely lovely and so high end.
Yes, yes, we've all done it! It made me laugh too, I've done it sooo many times, when rushing and being tired and not thinking things through. :D
Those zippers are soooo frustrating!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 I’m glad you get my struggle lol. I came up with the safety pin hack after too many frustrations. Yes they will make a lovely summer shorts!!
Soooo frustrating!! 😭
Best tailor I’ve seen on RUclips. You’re awesome!!!
You are so kind! Thanks so much for your nice words! 🥰
They turned out beautifully! You are indeed an artist and your customers are very lucky to have you in their city!
You are so kind! Thanks so much 🥰
Wow!!! If I had no other jobs, that would be an exciting alteration to take on. So kind of you for taking that on while you were busy!! Excellent and masterful work. ❤️ I hope you were well paid too!
Thanks 🥰 🥰🥰🥰
You did an excellent job. I would not have the patience for all that details. But it’s good we have people like you who do.
The finished product is what they should have looked like to begin with. Who puts a drawstring in cashmere?
You did a fabulous job!!
This really is a piece of art. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks so much for watching 🥰🥰🥰
Those look as good as if they came from the factory, I wouldnt have even thought something like this would have been possible.
Do you think you can show how you made the side adjusters? There's 0 information out there about how to make them. I tried reverse engineering some on a pair of RTW belt loop pants with decent results, but its always nice to see a professional process on how its done since I'm sure im making some points needlessly overly complicated.
Thanks 🥰 I'm writing this down on my agenda. It's very easy to make the side adjuster and they are very practical!
Would love to see that. My weight fluctuates and I've never seen this on a women's trouser
@@DowntownTailoring thank you!
@@supernova622 i love them. I tailor my pants for my current weight and when I lose weight I just cinch them down. I also don't have to go through the expense and trouble to buy a belt that matches my shoes in addition to it providing a cleaner look imo.
Fantastic job, I could watch you doing this all day! I love your precise attention to detail - so important for a beautiful finish. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching 🥰
I always enjoy your videos but this one really excited me as you shared the delicious details in those gorgeous pants❣️ I am a sewing nerd and love to find treasures like that. I have been known to spend some time with well designed clothes in a change room taking pictures and measurements so I can repeat in my own sewing. The coin flap with the belt loop coming through….oh my 🤓. Thanks as always for sharing your skills 🙏🏻
Aweeee! Thanks so much 🥰 I too have learnt a lot by studying designer pieces!
A big and inricate job, It's obvious that you took great care doing that. Well done
Thanks 🥰 🥰🥰
Is Aida kidding? There is nothing she cannot fix! Wish i were as talented.
So nice of you! Thanks 🥰
Wow! I knew you were good at your job, but this was over the top. Designing a new waist band with detailed trims using only the cloth from the cut aways of another pair of pants is amazing. You did great.
Thank you! 😊
That was amazing doing such a complex job. Looked so professional when finished like a brand new pair of pants for your client. Thanks for sharing !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🥰
Are you kidding me? Of course we want to see and learn all parts of the alterations here. Because of you, made me venture into alteration jobs ❤️
That's so nice! Thanks 😊
I accidentally pulled off a slider just a few weeks ago and it was so embarrassing! Anyway, I would love to see a tutorial of the buckle technique you mentioned. We also do a lot of men’s clothes, but I feel less knowledgeable about the industry techniques for menswear.
The finished pants are amazing! I would love to wear them myself! I agree with the client that they are so much better with the flat waist band and classic details. The draw string and elastic are nice for the shorts. You did a phenomenal job!!! Love it!!
Thanks so much 🥰
Incredible!
Is there anything you can't do? You are the best!
Thanks for your kindness 😊
La señora, su trabajo es increíble. Guau 😍. Me encanta su técnica. Ya aprendí mucho. Muchas gracias.
Muchísimas gracias Nicole! 🥰
I only found you a couple of weeks ago but have been listening to all your videos. You are a wonderful tailor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you very much! Welcome to our sewing community 🥰
It felt stressful just to watch you tackle a complicated job like this. Empathy overwhelm.
I admire you!
Thanks so much 🥰 I feel appreciated!
Beautiful work. I’ve altered the waist of every pair of pants my husband has worn for the last 20 years. My work is pretty rough and ready and only looks good from the outside. It was a joy to see this beautiful work.
Your husband is very lucky 💕
I hope I can save this lesson for future reference...I love the style of the new slacks!!!
Never knew you could but waistbands like that....
Thank you, afain!!
Thanks so much 🥰
That was HUGE!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
You are amazing, your sewing is just perfect. Your costumers are lucky.
Thanks so much 🥰 Although I have to confess that I make at least one mistake every day when sewing 😁🤭😅
Wow! I hope you were paid well for your time and expertise! Goodness gracious! You have been blessed with a gift that I'm so glad you are sharing!
Thanks 😊
Would love to see the full tutorial on how you made this waistband. Amazing job!
Oh my what a detailed job! I know it's a pleasure when I get to work on luxurious fabrics! You did a terrific job! 👍💗 And as an aside I like the smell of a fresh sharpened pencil lol
Thanks 😊 You just uplifted me! Pencil included. From now on I will enjoy the smell too! 🥰🥰🥰
@@DowntownTailoring it's my mission in life ! 😀💖
How excellent. You have so many fans, Aida.
Thanks! I feel very grateful for that!
I would love to know more about meds waist lines and using pre-made waist bands inside. The different types, what you your them, how you use them. Btw. Great video!
Thanks 😊 We will cover this on future videos!
It is such a joy to watch a true perfessional at work 😍 and you're doing something that I just love. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us...it's very much appreciated.
Thanks so much for your comment 😊 You are very kind!
Beautiful job. I hope you charged enough! You are worth every penny!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
You’re amazing!! Your my go to instructor if I’m not sure on a alteration. Thank you for all your videos and advice 😊
Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Awesome pants ❤
Your skills are awesome. Love all your videos
Thanks so much 🥰
excellent work
I would love to know how to add a pleat detail to a pants pattern like this one! Thank you for your videos :D
You basically cut the pattern on the center seam until 3mm before the end and open it to add the material for the dart. Usually around 1 1/2" for each dart. It's like you inserted a really long triangle. I might make a post about it. Cheers 🙂
@@DowntownTailoring That's actually a pretty helpful instruction! I think I know what to do now. Thank you so much! 😊
I watch every one of your videos and I am NEVER disappointed!! You are the BEST!
Thank you Deb! 🥹🥹❤️
Great idea!

Wow!! What a transformation!! 😍🤩
Thanks 🥰 😊 💗

Love your videos. Thank you. May I make a request? would love to see a video on how to repair frayed cuffs on a men's shirt.
OK I'll see if I can find a shirt that needs this soon 😊
@@DowntownTailoring Thank you! I'm very much looking forward this that.
❤️❤️❤️
You are very tallented
Thanks 🥰
I really like your alterations downtown tailoring. I am amateur at doing alterations, and am having trouble with a friend's broomstick gauze peasant dress.
It has an asymmetrical hem and I tried to measure from the bottom tier. The fabric is a nightmare and very loosely woven.
My pins keep falling out of the material, and I tried marking the cutting line with a chalk pencil which put holes into the fabric. Aie, yie, yie.😢
Ohhh 😔 You can try to use safety pins 1" longer than you need. This way you won't have bad marks and won't lose your pins. Good luck!
Thank you so much!
I never thought of using safety pins.
🤩
May I ask you a question. How do you attach the elastic clear ribbing to the top of wedding gowns. It was opened to take in bodice areas. Other than hand sewing it back on. Do you have a trick. My presser foot just drags and causes it to gather.
Yes! I use zipper foot. But it isn't possible with all.
I loved your previous video on how to set your prices as a business, but that seemed geared more towards regular services. Since this was very much a custom job, I’m very curious to know how much you charged the customer. Surely he paid as much as (or more!) for your skilled work as he paid for the pants themselves in the first place?
Were you able to estimate how long it would take beforehand to give him an estimated price? Or was this customer insistent on getting what he wanted regardless of the cost?
Hi Michael, thank you so much for your kind words! I basically divided the job by items, for example 3 buttonholes, 1 belt loop, 1 pocket, 4 straps, etc.
I already have a price set for each of those items and I just added everything up. To confirm, yes it cost as much as a third pair because they already had their prices set. To answer tour question, the customer didn't think it twice and he was very happy when he came to pick up. But other customers have asked for similar jobs and they found it way too expensive, so some do it but some don't. Hope this helps!
I almost regret taking this job
Hola ese descosedor como se llama o donde lo venden gracias maravillosos tu trabajo
Es una cuchilla de pintor. La compro en Home Depot. Se llama Razor blades #9
Would love to learn and improved my skills and willing to pay for my lessons. 💖💖😺😺💖😼
otro favorcito cuanto cobra ese trabajo gracias
No me acuerdo exactamente pero de seguro fue más de 150. Ya que incluía muchos detalles.
😀💗
my mom worked from home as a seamstress it must have cost a lot for 4 hours of work i am really curious how much u make per hour or job i know my mom did not charge enough she stopped when pandemic hit she is 87
Hu Eduarda! My prices vary a lot depending on the job. I divide them into three categories depending on the difficulty level and I have a fourth one based on how sporadic it'd be. I really have to make a video about it!
