    Hello, I tried the embroidery thread but it shredded and got tangled, please provide which brand of thread or how to prevent thread from tangled ? thx so much

  • @SewingatHomeMom
    @SewingatHomeMom5 күн бұрын

    Try to pull the thread as you sew instead of just pulling at the end. Alternatively you can try to use waxed dental floss for sewing. Also, waxing the embroidery floss helps to prevent the thread from tangling. Hope this helps🙂

    If done well, it should last some time. BUT, It's not a permanent repair of the hole. Rather a quick fix, temporary fix. Eventually it will come out in wash partially or entirely.

    Hi Alice, thank you so much for your video. I'm a man and many of us aren't skilled with a sewing machine. My question is the following: If the original pants, or the jeans, come with a straight cut on the leg, is it necessary to make the new measurement with a diagonal cut or fold? Shouldn't it be straight too? Excuse my ignorance.

  • @SewingatHomeMom
    @SewingatHomeMom16 күн бұрын

    No. Usually, there is no need for diagonal cut regardless of the type of pants. But there are exceptions. As you can see in this tutorial, I pined front and back of the pants leg according to the type of shoes. Shoes are important when measuring for hem. Here I cut at diagonally to avoid extra unattractive puddle of fabric around the ankles. Hope this helps 🙂

    Sorry, hard for me to suggest anything without seeing the problem... Probably I would try redoing it with smaller and tighter stitches and I would follow the original holes seam line to stay within the original seam allowance. Let me know how it went 🙂

    Hey!...how do you deal with that little 5th pocket that jeans have? Do you cut out, work around it, etc? THANKS!!!

  • @SewingatHomeMom
    @SewingatHomeMom2 ай бұрын

    I would work around it - if possible - but that's me. Usually there are few factors to consider beforehand, for example: by how many inches you need to decrease the waist, are you taking the waist in temporarily or permanently. How thick is the fabric that you're working on. How much the inside bulk of the excess fabric bothers you after you take the pants waist in - things like that. As you see, it REALLY depends on each piece.Hope this helps 🙂

    Hi , Thank you for the tutorial. I do not have those scissors so if I use this technique do I need to double fold the outside edge?

  • @SewingatHomeMom
    @SewingatHomeMom2 ай бұрын

    Yes, to secure the raw outside hem edge it's suggested to double fold the edge - if no other options are available. Also, there are couple hand stitches that seal fabric edges from fraying. To name a few: whip stitching/overstitch and overlock stitch which is a variation of the Blanket stitch

    Would this work on trousers as well?

  • @SewingatHomeMom
    @SewingatHomeMom2 ай бұрын

    Yes, it should. But keep in mind this sewing technique is suggested more for a temporary and easy-quick fix. If you're interested in more tailored look for your trousers, it's suggested to do the take in waist at the centre back of the trousers. The alteration does look complicated but with step by step tutorial, it can be done. It's suggested (in sewing) always try the garment on to see if it fits properly before you decide to cut any fabric off.

    Wow! I really needed these instructions! I bought some second hand dress pants for my husband and they came out too big. The size was right on the tag, but he can't wear them. I found videos of men putting on the trousers inside out and pinning where they fit but my husband isn't easy to pin down 😂. So the way you take a pair that is the right size and use them as a guide is a lifesaver for me. Thank you for sharing ❤.

    I did the waist and the crotch area too and it came out perfect for the waist. The front crotch was exactly the same as his guide pants but I got the back crotch an inch longer. Figured it might be a bit baggy for him but not too bad. He tried them on and said they feel funny, like running up his crack. He adjusted them a bit and said, "it's like they're riding lower than my waist." I can't imagine how an inch longer would make this happen. He's going to use them as work pants and that's exactly what I bought them for so it's not a big problem. I have a pair of dress pants that need the same adjustments and I chose this pair to practice first. I will be making less adjustments on the crotch next time. Something about measurements isn't adding up, but I believe cutting less is best. It can always be cut more. Once you've cut too much, you can't put it back very easily. Thanks again for your instructions, they are a lifesaver!
