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 🙂

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?

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!!!

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 .

This alteration is so well explain. Thank you. I had no idea this could be done!

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.

This was a wonderful demo, thank you!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very good! 😎😎😎
