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.

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!

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. 🤦‍♀️

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!

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.

Best tutorial I’ve found for taking in jeans waist. Thanks for showing us the proper way to do it.

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.

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!

Though the past year has been pretty awful, I’ve found a couple things to be grateful for. First, after having to leave college and move home, my daughter has managed to lose quite a lot of weight. And second, I made a couple of masks and then got totally hooked on sewing (my new obsession). I’ve taken 3” off the waist of several pairs of my daughter’s jeans. I’m pleased with the result but boy, am I ever SLOW. Being a perfectionist is hard when you don’t know what you’re doing! 😂 Wish I’d found this video a lot sooner. I laughed when you used the hammer because that’s what I did, except I thought I was the originator of the trick, lol. Your skill is to die for. I hope I can become half as good, especially with my top stitching. Ugh, it takes me forever. ❤️👍🏼

Your video is excellent. Many times I find a pair of jeans on sale that are one waist size up from my regular size, and I pass them by because the cost of a professional alteration cancels out the savings. I'm going to try and alter a pair of thrifted jeans before I attempt work on a new pair. If all goes well it will mean savings down the road. Thank you. You are an excellent teacher.
