[@williamsangster3119]

I am absolutely in love with you. You helped me fix my pants and I love your personality. Not to mention you are extravagantly beautiful! 😁🥰

[@raqueld4899]

I guess I'm the 2nd one to watch it. I love your videos. Thanks to you I'm teaching myself to use my sewing machine. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

[@craftyamy93]

Yay!! You're welcome!😄😄

[@Mel-gg3xg]

Thank you for making this tutorial! It's funny because my work pants I need to sew look exactly like the ones in the video!

[@JT105]

I'm super excited for this! My husband and I are short, so we frequently have to fold up hems on pants.

[@craftyamy93]

Ooh stay tuned!

[@justawfulgamer7738]

I know the struggle

[@deborahdewitt9017]

Dark pants and dark zipper make the vid hard to see exact detail.

[@PiranhaJaw22]

that smile and that voice, and your talent. I am in love

[@craftyamy93]

Thank you ☺️

[@msrubydoll26]

my son keeps doing that to his shorts. Great skill to learn thank u☺

[@craftyamy93]

Yay! You're welcome!

[@needleaddict7507]

Great tutorial! Thanks so much, I just used to to mend some broken trousers that would have otherwise been thrown away.

[@wild-hernessaerialist6440]

You are adorable 😊 thanks for sharing!!! Trying to rescue a pair of retro ski pants!

[@craftyamy93]

Thank you ☺️ Of course! I hope it works out! :)

[@jadecummings8093]

Hey Crafty Amy, I'm first to watch your video and it's so amazing!

[@tobyque9399]

That intro was so cute

[@sweett2459]

Very good tutorial. Too bad it was 3 years ago....I wanted to see how to do this with slacks with linings.

[@michaelsrowland]

I am trying to unpick the topstitch on a mans outdoor jacket to remove the zip, but it is difficult . What is the best way?

[@craftyamy93]

For really difficult stitches like that, if you have small thread scissors you’ll have to cut a thread at a time until it loosens.. I’m assuming it’s the backtac on it , it should loosen up after a few snips

[@michaelsrowland]

@@craftyamy93 I have found a video just on replacing a broken zipper on a jacket. But it's difficult

[@joeybrooks4353]

Cool video Amy. You did a great job. I’m proud of you.

[@ultraali453]

She reminds me of Tsuji Nozomi, especially as a young mom on the internet

[@VNUSA305]

Thank you

[@dashagreeva2580]

beautiful....

[@Nancita43]

Amy what is an easy way of understanding how to read and cut out a pattern

[@craftyamy93]

A commercial pattern?

[@christinelapsley5386]

Just what I needed. Thanks.

[@lawrencejlittle]

I have some shirts that are 1/2 inch to big in the neck how do I reduce this what technique?

[@hridoyergaan1064]

Your smile 👌

[@ahoyjasmin3282]

Oh man, I would love it if you did a retake on another backpack!!!!

[@craftyamy93]

Ooh yeah!

[@gabbyb720]

I always find cute tops on clearance, but they are plus size! Is there a simple solution you have to downsize them??

[@AlexSDU]

4:07 If I don't have the zipper foot for my sewing machine, can I just use the pressure foot instead?

[@BradKandyCroftFamily]

I used to use the regular foot on mine when doing a zipper often. The zipper foot is generally used for invisible zippers. The regular foot might be a little harder to use, if, where you need the stitch, is close enough to the zipper that it ends up under the foot and lifts the foot off the cloth. Then you have problems with the cloth and zipper moving along the sewing machine properly. If that happens, you have to basically pull the fabric along like the machine would do it.

[@AlexSDU]

@@BradKandyCroftFamily I see. Thank you. I only learned making pants once, and that was over 20 years ago. But I do remember that we didn't use the zipper foot, Just the regular foot.

[@mariaryan3522]

Thank you!! My daughter was ready to trash it.

[@enesiakapondoro4156]

Really helpful thanks

Show to replace two way zipper in heavy Carhartt overalls

[@parengzeydbeats6184]

Hello crafty amy!

[@LidiaOK]

How do you add a side zipper to pull-on pants? I bought these very nice dress pants at Kohl's and the fit is perfect, being very petite. However, these pants really should've been made with a zipper. I'd like to add one, if possible. Thank you. :)

[@craftyamy93]

Ooh that’s a good suggestion! Thank you!

[@patcarpenter7332]

Im trying to alter my daughter’s swimsuit and every time I see , there is loops on the bottom. It’s a mess! I have the most trouble with the where the straps are seamed together! HELP. Enjoy your videos!

[@craftyamy93]

Aww are you using a ballpoint needle? Did you check your tension? ..Thank you :)

[@tycumbie788]

I’m crushing like mad here! Helpful too!

[@The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

Same. She has a beautiful smile

[@prettylegit123ily]

Haha I need solutions!! My jeans fit good in other areas but the waist band is an inch or two to big :/

[@averysims760]

Her awareness is so cute

[@barbarag.5521]

Thanks.

[@janetcozens4623]

What a fantastic demo and I have also subscribed ty so much

[@mute760]

I'm in love.. why can't I find a girl like amy❤❤

[@alfonsojon1997]

🤔

[@rachelwest337]

It's really hard to do a zipper tutorial with a black pair of pants

[@realcoolbreeze]

Nice video.,Youre very pleasant and obviously a pro.Umm. I can handle fixing a jeans zipper that broke. Taking out a cheaper zipper and replacing it though entirely may not be my expertise as a man. On this I ll defer I think to another pro - such as yourself.

[@punitpanchal90]

Nice.

[@dag1937]

Will you be making anymore videos

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

I'm a guy...and I did this by hand. No machine. It's not too difficult, just time consuming.

[@dag1937]

Will you be making new vids we miss you

[@kurtking5226]

video starts at 2:07

[@chotudc675]

Hi amy it is very useful to me....can i talk with you

[@normanpeters6465]

How can anyone learn how to to do this if you are moving so fast. You have to remember that amateurs watch this too.

[@Amirkhan-ii3fi]

❤❤

[@moonsister3515]

It's a great tutorial but I would suggest to turn the auto focus off cos it's a really informative video but there are times when we, the view, want to see what you are showing to us. Peace!

[@mjb47pappy]

"Sew the other side only the zipper with the facing, not the ???? " Not the what?

[@pablovargas6606]

That's dificult.......

[@mariolegaspi681]

Why are you so beautiful?

[@shaundurant7415]

She is sooo adorable. I wonder how old she is.

[@craftyamy93]

Thank you :) I’m 28

[@rprp7762]

there is no reason to waste the first 2 minutes of the video showing nothing. replacing a zipper is self explanitory as a title. just my opinion.

[@Monah-u9f]

You are incredibly beautiful. Amazing tutorial

[@rojeanfuerte3460]

That big smile

[@Ghazal23778]

Thank u so much for this very helpful and informative video..
