You might be doing a big closet clean out, or just want to make some new jeans for the new year, either way, this DIY is the ultimate hack to alter a pair of jeans that are too big on you.
And the bonus? This technique makes them look like a high end designer version!
DIY Alterations are not easy, especially when it comes to jeans. There are one million tiny stitches, multiple layers of fabric sewn together, waistbands, pockets, old seams.... not to mention, fresh seams look super out of place.
But this technique embraces the new seams and turns them into a design detail!
These are my new favorite pair of jeans and I can't wait to find a big pair at the thrift store again because I will 100% be doing this over and over again.

The tapered pants hack you posted ages ago, is one I've done like three times now and I love the way the pants fit. Can't wait to try this. Also it's really cool that you found selvedge denim on your thrift haul. Selvedge Levis are no longer standard. I think they discontinued the selvedge when they shifted from US production. You can still buy more expensive Levis that have selvedge and were usually made with either Japanese denim or Cone Denim (a denim mill in North Carolina that closed a few years ago). Sorry for the info dump, vintage Levis thrift flipping is something I used to do to make extra cash.

@dawnmason9558 Жыл бұрын

Happy New Year Orly hope 2023 is a fantastic year for everyone. Maybe two people one wearing & 1 pinning cos as you twist you distort the seams so can twist the legs & look weird. If you have one a jumper slope that helps the foot to rise up & over the thicker seams on jeans is a great help sewing the waistband

This turned out really cute on you. I guess first thing is that we need a thicker needle? Or will that make it harder for the needle to penetrate into the denim? This is an interesting concept on altering a pair of jeans to downsize. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the new year.

Interesting concept. It’s very similar to the “top down outside seam” method of sewing pants. I like to use a denim needle every time I sew with denim. Too many bent and broken needles otherwise.

I wish I could wear cute things with low cut and holes in my jeans. It's so cold. I'm actually drinking a hot cup of coffee hoping that I warm up.. I think I need a hat.. haha 😆 I miss Florida. Education is good up here though I got to say.. I'll take it for a little while longer. I need to go make a fire... That's nice. I will say that that is really nice. About the cold. Fire... Sure is pretty.

Did you delete my comment ??? I complimented you on an amazing project as usual and added a tip for sewing over the waistband. It showed up for about two minutes and disappeared! Did I offend you in some way?? Alrighty then. Evidently liking your projects is wrong for some reason. Unsubbed.
