Iv never followed tutorials that are this easy and work out this well before. You are a true legend! Now for the rest of my wardrobe...👍

I did it! It worked great! I had the same jeans and went from a 34 to a 32. I just followed the same lines Stylish D did. I watched some other KZfaqrs take apart the waistband, too much for me. I can see how that would be a much better finish but this way is great for these handmedown jeans. Thanks Stylish D!

I have done a similar method, but I lined it up with the front pockets. Where it connects to the waistband near the zipper. And since I usually wear a belt, you'll never see the stitches. Your channel is great man. It's helped me a lot.

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video!! I’m so glad I found your channel! I used your method to fix my daughters jeans, we were having this issue so badly with any pants/shorts/sweatpants. The waist is always huge on her, and the elastics that come on kid size jeans wasn’t enough to keep them on without scrunching the jeans and tucking at her skin because how tight they needed to be to not fall off her tall and slim frame, it was my first time sewing actual clothes or tailoring them ever, and they came out perfect! And I mean perfect!!! Thank you so much!!!! I’m going to watch all your videos and continue to tailor our clothes, you make it so simple to follow and doable!! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!! 😃😃😃

It looks like the lining is tacked at the crotch and sewn into the pockets . So it can’t be removed but can pull lining up to get to seams on the jeans. Fabric is canvas. Thanks

I'm hard pressed to spend the kind of money they want for jeans and I'd have to alter them anyway, (38w28L try and find that kind of jean without breaking the bank). I have always liked sewing, not good at it (hobby) but you give me confidence. You have a subscriber in me. Thanks for sharing. Will follow up after I hem, bring in the waist (2 inches) and try to taper them.

Possible idea for another video: I have a pair of ski pants that are too long. These pants have padded knees-- so hemming them at the bottom just won't do, as doing so would turn the knee pads into shin pads. I need to shorten them by about 2-3 inches at the lower thigh level. And they have full-length side zippers that run along the entire outside of the pant leg that will also need to be changed out. These zippers are also 2-way zippers. Thank you and good luck with your channel.

Thank you for this informative video. It makes me curious. To get a better fit below the waist (so it doesn't bubble out), how about removing the stitching of the pockets (enough to fold them back) and make a longer taper to the bottom of the pockets and resewing the pockets back. In your opinion, would that make the butt too tight?
