How To Make your pants BIGGER - With Jess - HeSewsSheSews

[@EVERYIONE]

I extended the waist on some of my work pants and saved a good $100 thanks to you. I’m a novice sewer especially with a machine but this video was just perfect in teaching me what to do, straight and to the point. Thank you so much!

[@hesewsshesews5969]

Happy to help! Let us know what other alterations you are struggling with!

[@nancyholich3199]

I hit the jackpot my husband needs his dress pants let out and you have provided me with the knowledge to do it. Thank You & I love your machine.

[@hesewsshesews5969]

Thanks Nancy, good luck!

[@starks58]

Thank you! I followed your instructions and used my wife's sewing machine. The suit pants turned out great.

[@hesewsshesews5969]

Great job!

[@rainriderpnw6259]

That is satisfying when the thread comes out so easily. Hi from New Zealand.

[@hesewsshesews5969]

It really is satisfying! Thanks for watching!

[@dazz1279]

Thank you for the video. It is perfect for a beginner to use to do this to his 3 dollar thrift store slacks. ; )

[@hesewsshesews5969]

Your welcome. We always advise to practice on thrift store clothing first. It's a bonus if they fit you after!

[@dangerousthoughts.1591]

From this, I have learned that I was wrong in thinking I could let out the waist on my own and I have to wear my dress uniform tomorrow😂 guess it’s just gonna have to be a tight fit for the day

[@medicalpatriot3174]

I've sewed simple things like patch work, actual patches all by hand but now I need to let out my jeans from the waist all the way down to the legs, had an incident last year and gained weight. I don't mind doing it by hand but any tips. Not able to afford a whole new set of pants.

[@hesewsshesews5969]

There isn't usually any extra fabric in jeans, we would need to add a strip of fabric at the seam.

[@brianfigueroa1848]

@@hesewsshesews5969 ok awesome I started to do that I have an old pair of carpenter jeans so I cut down one seam already from the top of the pockets down to the leg Should I do both sides.

[@estelamino6356]

Thanķs

[@maryl3266]

How to for slacks without extra

[@hesewsshesews5969]

Sounds like a false hem. I'll add it to the list of videos to make. Stay tuned!

[@AUNTIE-DEE]

Curious, why use a blade instead of a seam ripper?

[@hesewsshesews5969]

It is faster and they are cheaper and sharper. When you tailor professionally, you need to save time and money wherever possible.

[@karenavey2183]

Jess, can you tell me something? I can’t see clearly in video. How did you have enough fabric in actual waistband?

[@hesewsshesews5969]

Usually if there is extra fabric in the seat there will be extra in the waistband. If not you will have to add some.

[@JohannesJunkJournalLife]

Hellos I see you are starting higher on the bottom . Where is the starting line is it from the seam to up 3-4 inches?

[@hesewsshesews5969]

We try to start as close to the crotch of the pants as possible

[@nesco7615]

I always wonder what that meant. Now I know.

[@sandolorsilverdollar]
