How to Take In the Back Waist of Your Jeans PROFESSIONALLY with Flat Fell Seam

Рет қаралды 1,088,934

Күн бұрын

Are the top of your jeans too big? You can take in the back waist and seat to resize your jeans for a tailored fit.
This type of jean alteration looks complicated but I'll show you how with step by step instructions to finish with a proper flat fell (flat felled) seam.
Whether you have new jeans that don't fit perfectly or you want to do a denim jeans thrift flip, just follow along to make your jeans smaller .
There are many hacks out there to take in the waist of jeans but none of them will give you a nice neat fitted finish. All that extra fabric has to go somewhere so usually it's gathered up at the sides or back.
That's ok if that is the look you are after but if you want fitted jeans, seams have to be taken in.
For this pair of jeans , I am only taking in the back seam as the hips already fit and most of the extra fabric sticks out at the centre back.
I never add darts on the back of jeans as they are too thick and lumpy and not very comfortable.

Have you ever tried to alter the waist of your jeans? I show you in detail how to do it . You may need to use a walking foot for a domestic machine if your jeans are really thick. You can use this same method with all types of fabric to get a strong and flat seam.

Home sewing machine hack: use a leather needle!!! after hammering thick joins down, and a stitch length that matches the original, which is usually long and is important when the thread is a contrasting colour. I also try to match the thread weight if it is contrasting.

Wow! 45 years of sewing and man, do I ever wish I saw the proper way to do this seam when I was a teenager! Not only do you have excellent sewing tips, but you are a really really clear and concise, educator. Thank you so much.! A new fan From Toronto

As an arrogant engineer, but with zero experience in sewing, I bought a cheap Singer HD and took this on as my first "tailoring project", thinking "how hard can it be". To make this worse, I tried it with the thickest G-Star denim that ever existed. The parts with the belt loops were so thick, they would not even fit under the foot. About 2h, 4 broken needles, and a bathtub full of tears later, I can proudly say that now pants fit pretty well again. The only unfortunate part is that they look like it was tailored by a drunk seagull. Nonetheless, the tutorial is amazing, it's just me lacking experience and skill... 😅😅

@NotchesSewing 9 ай бұрын

LOLOL your comment is giving me life!!!😊. You have taken on a pretty difficult alteration as your first project!! You get an A++ for effort! G-Star is difficult even on industrial machines……. Sew the loops by hand and use a thimble to help push the needle through. I wanted to make a proper step by step tutorial as most jean alteration “hacks” don’t deal with the extra fabric that has to go somewhere in order for a proper fit. I would definitely hire you just for your determination!😊. Thanks for watching.Have a great day.

@@NotchesSewing Wow, thank you so much for the nice reply! I must say I had a lot of fun doing it, despite the subpar result. Yeah unfortunately the only two types of pants I have are thick G-Star jeans and leather pants. So the G-Star were still the easier choice haha. However, I successfully slimmed my shirts down, they look great!

I altered my mom's jeans using this tutorial after she lost a lot of weight. And the crazy part is that I hand stitched this, cuz we don't have a sewing machine at home. My fingertips hate me, but the end result is so beautiful to see. You can't even see where I cut the waistband cuz the belt loop covers it. And the part where I had to stitch very thick layers of fabric bent a couple needles which I had to discard lol. But yeah this was great man. The tutorial was very easy to follow and I am sure this would be even easier with a sewing machine. Thank you for this video :)

Miss, I just want to say that this is the best video I've seen yet for altering the waist of jeans. I have been following the sewing community for years and years since I was a kid (I am now in college), and while I am an avid learner and have pretty sufficient knowledge in sewing and seams, I've actually sewn very little despite owning a sewing machine. Years ago, I wanted to alter jeans just as you've shown on an $8 pair of Levi's at Goodwill, but was afraid to ruin a perfectly fine pair of jeans someone else could wear. Trust me, I have scoured the internet for a video like this, but a couple years ago a video like this was not around! They were a lot like me, sewing by the feel of it. And while that's all fine and good and gets the job done, there is something so satisfying about an incredibly technical video with factory results. I have a newfound confidence towards sewing, and your video has seriously inspired me to take on this project. This video was done so well and in-depth (yet easy to follow) that I feel I can achieve the same results. Made my day! Thank you!

Primarily self-taught since I usually don't have the patience for sowing videos that often just focusses on the things, that I already know. But wow. You mention a lot of things I already know, but you do it in a perfect way, where it just becomes a reminder of the proper basics. And then you just continuously spill out all this amazingly helpful information that comes from being a master of one's craft - and even more importantly knowing how to teach it.

Great Job!! I watched my Mom sew as small child by time a teenager she had me making her outfit!! 😊 I had a plan too, I took sewing Highschool and asked teacher I could bring home to sew! I was in a hurry so I’d tell my Mother……Mom I need more material for project in school. Got my outfits in display window and had so much fun wearing them!!💜🌈💜

Thank you for this fabulous tutorial. I sew as a hobby and this is the best one I have found to tailor for a custom fit. Especially if there is embroidery on the sides of the pants. I am now a subsciber!
