    I really like that idea of marking 6inhes up the hem of a flaired pants. I never thought of it before.thankyou for so many great tips. Btw does this work with very flared evening dresses too? As sometimes when I mark to the floor than I lay it flat on the table the markings are up and down and I won't be sure which are the good marking or not.

    love your amazing alterations ...you are very meticulous and very patient and obviously love what you do.
    I have some alterations of my own to do but not motivated to tackle some of them.
    please do a video on underarm gussets on a dress ...much appreciated.

    I’ve lost 60 pounds in the last 6 months and all of my pants are way too loose in me now. What a simple solution! This will give me more time before I need to buy new clothes (or make more advanced alterations). Thanks for the tutorial ❤️

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  2 года назад

      This is the most simple solution. I'm not sure if this works for 60 pounds but try at least with one. Cheers 🙂

    Thank you! Im going to use the waist on a dress alteration today! I would like to see how you do the welt pocket. There are some on a coat I want to copy but that part isn't something I've done yet. There are some tutorials, however I like your common sense approach to different fabrics and how they actually behave. Happy new year to you and family! 🎉😊

      I really enjoy watching you & your pace of walking through the instructions. I’ve seen some before that I won’t even watch because they just speak too quickly. Another way that I do my alterations is to have my customer wear the garment on inside out so as you mark, you won’t have to transfer to the inside because you’re already have it done on the inside of the garment. Thank you again for excellent instructions.
