I used to work in a sewing shop nearly12 years ago. So thankful for your videos. They help me to remember the things I used to do. Lately my sewing has just been hems n zippers. Thanks❤

I come from a family of tailors and garment industry professionals----so I've been sewing since I can remember! Proper pants fitting is just not something men are taught to be cognizant of anymore. And to a trained eye a bad-fit looks BAAAAD! Great work: both the video and the tailoring! (And BTW, the current trend to over-tailor is not a good one!)

Wow! I'm happy I came across your channel to watch your videos. Actually, I'm a beginner sewer. And thank you for the techniques you thought. Very informative. Kudos!

You are a life saver. I didn't know how to begin, saw your video and my husbands tux pants look great now. Thanks so much!

Wow. Makes so much difference the before and after. Vast improvement with relatively little effort (if you know your way round a sewing machine)!

Great tutorial on alterations. Thank you for taking the time to share

I am a home sewer, and you have transformed my pants patterns! I was trying to work out Pythagoras and trigonometry to work out how to take an inch and a half out of the back of my pants, and you aced it in 9 mins!! Thank you :-)

I watched this video to alter a pair of women's booty shorts. I was going to take in the wrong seam. I am so glad I watched your video. I was going to have to redo a flat felled seam. Thanks to you I don't have to mess with it. This is a fantastic video for men to learn to do their own alterations. It is so awesome that you are making videos for men. Kudos to you.

Great hints. I have been altering clothes for years and still learned a lot.

Thank You so much for taking the time to make this video. My son is attending his sisters wedding and needed a suit. He is 6'4" and 260 lbs....I found a suit that the jacket is perfect but not the pants but I think I got this (because of you).

Wow you explained the steps very well. Thank you.

Yes a video with good good info I'm so happy that I subscribe to your channel.... your videos has help me so so much .. keep up the great work

Thank you. We appreciate you doing this videos

Exactly the video I needed for the trouser pattern I am working on - thank you! Especially appreciate that your "improved fit" still shows some slack in the back, because I was fretting the pooling I was seeing anove my calves was wrong!

This was very informative. I got the same end results, but I struggled with making it happen. Thanks to this video, I can work smarter and not harder....THANK YOU!!

The whole time I was wondering why you marked the pants on the outside and then it finally clicked when you were getting it ready to be sewed. AMAZING! ☆ω☆

Thank you so much for showing how to mark and measure for this so clearly! It was really helpful. :)

Done one pair as instructed here was a huge struggle first time as usual with stuff but it's come out fine. Said make sure when sewing up the crutch seam that the top ends line up. But they don't because the back panel top is curved up. Had me flummoxed but it simply means more seam allowance on one side of the top ends of the vertical panels. I did not know to assess how much to take in so did it by calculation. From paper pattern adjustment charts for every two inches off waist is one and a quarter off thigh circumference. Looks like a balanced fullness front and back once done. Next time do it in a.fraction of the time. Really useful thing to learn on clothes adjustment. Thank you!

Hey man, I appreciate these videos and I just love knowing how to do things. I would request, though, when posting the videos to normalize the volume so the viewer (me) doesn't have to keep turning the volume up and down. Thanks again for the awesome tips!

Great instructions, thank you very much!

Highly impressed with your first video I have watched, about taking in the inseam/crotch area. I am a 57 year old gal, been sewing since I was 5 years old. Great someone still wants to sew, and you being a guy, and you are so young, I find it great that YOU SEW! I am subscribing! You really know your stuff! Crossing barriers is bold, in a good way.

I love it 🤣 definitely using this for my husband

I’m so excited to try this on my husband’s suit pants. I’m also tacking the pocket shuts so he stops putting his hands in his pocket. His suit pants look soooo baggy right now.

I love your videos. You speak clearly and are easy to follow. Could you make a video on how to slim down pants if you loose weight using another pair of pants that fit well already?

Sir, come back!

Very good

This is not what I am looking for...and yet I'm not disappointed in the slightest O.o

Rock on. My brother

This is Brilliant. Thank you. So well explained! I'm looking for the alteration to eliminate excess drooping folds of fabric at the front crotch sides in an upside-down V shape. Unflattering! I'm guessing this video alteration is part of it and the rest is scooping out the crotch curve. But how much? How to gauge the measure of it? Do you know the problem I am referring to? Thanks again for your videos. Top Notch!

Can you make a tutorial on how to lengthen rise on dress pants

This was really helpful! I sew dresses not men’s dress pants and need to learn how to take in my husbands pants. First pair I did worked out great! Very clear directions! Now question, a second pair I am going to start has a triangular crotch gusset. Where are on the crotch do I measure? From the front of the crotch gusset or the back crotch gusset? Thanks!

Thanks for your video!!! Could you do the same thing to the front part of the crotch seam to fix a baggy front crotch fit?

Hey, do you have a solution for puckering pockets? My pants fit me really well except that all of my pants have puckering pockets that ruin the whole look.

Hi I sewed pants but the back of the pants knee (on the back of the pants) is very wrinkled ... thank you for helping me

Thanks for this. I had two vintage suits from a thrift shop and after tapering the legs and slimming the waist found the rear was still too roomy on both. So I did this alteration on both pairs of trousers. I also raised the crotch on both of them using your other video. One pair of trousers didn't end up tight enough so I undid the waist, crotch and inseams, and redid it all. Then I introduced a pucker on one leg, so undid that and resewed that seam and now they look fine. The suits have no labels and appear to have been made by a tailor. The inside leg seams still had bits of white basting stitch. They have a button fly pleats and a high waist. They weren't flared but the leg was very wide and straight. Yeah I'm not too confident so I measure, pin, try on, then sew. I thought this crotch alteration was quite a difficult one to do. Especially as my trousers had quite a bulky fabric. Tapering legs I find pretty easy to do. The waist slimming wasn't too difficult either. Now I need to slim the two suit jackets. Preparing myself mentally for that one.

I was trying to do this and, while I was pinning I notice the pockets were to close. (Im altering a 34w to become a 30w) what should I do to make te pockets less noticeable?

You've convinced me to buy some thrift store pants to practice on. Congratulations on your wedding!

The opening shot is now my desktop background. 😁

what if the pants have a extra wide piece in the crouch? my nephew after loosing so much weight, wants me to take in the crouch, but they have this added part for wider crouch?

Can I put the pin on the side seam when I’m making an adjustment for a client ?

LMAO the unexpected bendover !!

Please show how to stop the chain stitch once you get it released to the point you need it. Otherwise the chain stitch will keep on releasing. Thanks!

my problem is, i have a skinny legs so i can't do this bc i'll look weird from the side 😂

amazing and cute thanks for sharing😇🤩😘🥰

What is brand name of your jeans 👖 ?!

Would you consider a video on doing the opposite, lengthening the rise of a pair of pants? I picked up a beautiful suit that unfortunately is so low rise it's unwearable. My current tailor said they couldnt do that so id rather try it myself than have to give up my suit

You’re best best it follow my taking in a crotch video and do it the opposite and let it out. This will open the “bucket” of the trouser abs giving you a higher rise.

How much would you charge for this procedure. ?

Hi sir I've just subcribed and I've learned new things from this tutorial. And i thank you so much for this.❤❤❤❤❤ Can you make one for taking in the front crotch( when the front crotch is too long) It's very helpful how you teach. And the clear detail you give about everything.

How do I adjust a big pant to my size along with the front crotch and not having the pinching portion underneath the crotch.. Please

If you have to take in the crotch and the legs, which should be done first?

I'm watching your videos because I've tried four different alterations tailors and they've all messed up one way or another. As they say, if you want it done right, do it yourself. ;-)

I am making a size 32 pants to 30s. Everything but the crotch seem done. I am taking a 1.5 in out of the crotch seem. But I cannot get the crotch seems to line up. I have way to much material on the front side of my pants. Any tips??

Hi everyone. Please I need an explanation on how to take in waist without affecting the back pocket because the pocket shifts towards the butt thus making you side right on top of the pockets instead of the back pockets to be by the side butt.

@AspiringGent

3 жыл бұрын

you'll need to take it in the side and back if you are taking in that much.

Doesn’t taking in the crotch lower the rise or am I wrong?

So you are only reducing the back panel at the inside seam? Not the front. Vital to get that right or the crease at the front goes wrong yes? I bought two pairs of very nice Boss wool trousers in their sale 15 years ago. Trouble was I then stopped working in offices and eating rubbish and lost four stone. I'm OK on waist reduction but the bag under the seat is the problem I did not understand. ONLY REDUCE back panel.

Can we get a birds eye view ? Or a color template of what parts you’re pulling in crotch area? The camera angle along with the color of the pants made it difficult for me to see where to pull the stitches from

Hi. How about reduce the crotch and the seat together. Thank you very much and have nice day.

Heavy squats if you can't tailor you pants..!

I find that this gives you V-shaped wrinkles on the back of the leg, that don't look very pleasant.

FoR FREE

Not understand

I Really Want To Give Me That Pants

Ok, so every and I mean every tailor has no clue as to what to do about this. Here is why I say this. I have a very short rise, 10.5 inches to be exact. My total U shaped crotch is about 26.5 or 27 inches with the front rise 10.5 inches exactly. Now this means I can't buy off the shelf pants. If I do then I have to have the rise lessened. However most tailors say oh it's to much work and will cost you a lot as I have to remove the waist band, zippers and pockets to remove the 2.5 inches or less to get you to 10.5 inch rise. The results usually end up with rear pockets that are right next to each other and front with tons of wrinkles and bunching. What is a guy to do? I am going to have some pants tailor made but fabric is always an issue. Most tailor shops only have standard fabrics.

As someone with years of sewing experience, modern as well as historical clothing I just have to comment. Those trousers looked better before you altered them. They cut too much between your buttocks and the upper thigh area was still baggy. Really, there was not enough difference to warrant all that work anyway.

You had drag lines prior to the alteration. You have MORE drag lines and almost a wedgie now 🤦‍♀️

Don’t bother. Slim is about to be very much out.
