the solution of the pocket is very smart, since the position also helped .... Fotini from Greece 

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hello! 🥰🇨🇦

[@joantomlin7281]

I love using lace to make the casing. It's definitely a couture detail.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@izabeau1953]

The pocket restoration is fantastic, after it being so damaged. Love the way you do the rounded hem, it’s a good idea. Tks for sharing all your work .

[@elizabethrowe7262]

Love how you showed the elastic in the dress and place the gathers in the front and not the sides. Also the last part with the pocket, just amazing how it looks brand new and no trace of a tear at all. Wonderful!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 💕💕💕

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

I’ve lost 60 pounds in the last 6 months and all of my pants are way too loose in me now. What a simple solution! This will give me more time before I need to buy new clothes (or make more advanced alterations). Thanks for the tutorial ❤️

[@DowntownTailoring]

This is the most simple solution. I'm not sure if this works for 60 pounds but try at least with one. Cheers 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHaamGSknbJ2fq8

[@faridabux6528]

wow amazing 🤩...well done how did you lose the weight ?

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

@@faridabux6528 Keto! ❤️

[@pamelavance648]

That's fantastic I'm a third of the way there on weight loss Still in progress but yep I clicked for the pants solution yayyyy

[@IMOO1896]

Congratulations! I’ve lost 30 in the last few months and I’m also doing a lot of alterations.

[@maryaddington9835]

Wonderful information. Well done. Thank you!

[@sincerelysews]

I really love listening to your videos while I work. My favorite alteration from this video is the dress with the elastic waist, but everything looks so nice!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 I love to watch your videos too. Keep them coming.

[@sampleworks9432]

Thanks as always for sharing your tips n tricks! Beautiful job on the pocket fix ❤️

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰

[@annapomorski5431]

I really like that idea of marking 6inhes up the hem of a flaired pants. I never thought of it before.thankyou for so many great tips. Btw does this work with very flared evening dresses too? As sometimes when I mark to the floor than I lay it flat on the table the markings are up and down and I won't be sure which are the good marking or not.

[@arbed31]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. All of the info is great-especially that pocket repair!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰

[@eman9467]

❤ can’t wait for next video.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you! I am almost done editing 🥰

[@solarwinds-]

I bet you're a very successful tailor.

[@tishie42]

Thank you! Im going to use the waist on a dress alteration today! I would like to see how you do the welt pocket. There are some on a coat I want to copy but that part isn't something I've done yet. There are some tutorials, however I like your common sense approach to different fabrics and how they actually behave. Happy new year to you and family! 🎉😊

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 For sure I'll post a tutorial about welt pockets!

[@DarleenAPerry]

I really enjoy watching you & your pace of walking through the instructions. I’ve seen some before that I won’t even watch because they just speak too quickly. Another way that I do my alterations is to have my customer wear the garment on inside out so as you mark, you won’t have to transfer to the inside because you’re already have it done on the inside of the garment. Thank you again for excellent instructions.

[@charitysams6858]

Thank you so much! It was really helpful!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@evelynferrer1322]

Hello, Yes made another video explaining how to do the whole pocket. Thank you.

[@vickipatridge5094]

You’re awesome!!!

[@vickyh7881]

Great tips! I probably won’t use the pocket tip but it is interesting to see how you did it. I’ve patched ripped jeans the way you showed us before. They turned out really good. Tfs!

[@DowntownTailoring]

I'm so glad to hear. Thanks for letting me know 🥰

[@litar1622]

[@analuisamom]

Love all the three projects.... I was impressed with the last one... what a good tailors chalk you use... I have bought some that looks the same at J. But is not good. Where can I get one like your?

[@DowntownTailoring]

I get mine at Cleaner's Supply. It's a little pricey but it lasts for ages. Cheers 🙂

[@deborahirwin5175]

Downtown Tailoring - I spoke to you via phone regarding the curved ruler you used in this video. You told me to post a question in the comment section and you’d post how I can purchase the curved ruler. I’ve searched online but have not been able to find it anywhere. I appreciate your help in locating where I can purchase the ruler. Love, love, love your videos!!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks!!! 🥰 Here you go the link for the ruler: www.cleanersupply.com/Tailoring/Measuring-Marking/Styling-Design-Marking-Ruler-21-12-X-5-45/#sku=TA28 Cheers 😉

[@nancyjones2531]

What kind of marking chalk do you use? It looks like the inexpensive waxy stuff that comes in several colors but mine doesn't disappear with heat the way yours does.

[@boseoriingod7657]

Hello queen, thank you for you do here.Please I would like to know how to do the pocket from the beginning.💐

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! Soon. Stay tuned 😉

[@katpen777]

[@DowntownTailoring]

You got this! 😊

[@ninidempsey]

Show me how to thread your surger!!! Por favor! I have had one like yours for years but have not used it because I can not figure it out lol! 😂😅🙄

[@norma6743]

Lovely video, I didn’t understand what is the 6 inch registration mark on the pants for and yes a video for that type of pocket would be great. Thanks 😊 keep them coming girl (videos) 🤩👍🏻

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 The 6" is to confirm the right length when you have the pants flat on your table. Cheers 🙂

[@norma6743]

@@DowntownTailoring thank you so much for clarifying. Fantastic 👏🏻 👏🏻👌🏻💗

[@kellilangvo]

Request please: how to shorten a knit top from the shoulder when there is no seam at the top of the shoulder. Thanks!

[@bridgetgidget72]

You’re videos are always so great and helpful. I mainly mend and alter clothes so I absolutely love your channel. I’ve learned so much! You lost me on the pocket though, can you do video on the pocket next time it comes up?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes. I'm sorry. I didn't follow the traditional steps as the pocket was already done. But I will post a full tutorial. Cheers 🙂

[@lolitamurch]

Please do another tutorial with alterations and welt pocket

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hi! This video will show you how to make the welt pocket from scratch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZfZaoSKaN6lmdU Cheers 🙂

[@clothingalterations]

Great 👍❤️❤️❤️

[@andra-cm]

Great alteration tips; I will definitely be using them! What type of thread did you use on the stretchy fabric? I see you used a straight stitch, so is it some sort of stretchy fabric?

[@DowntownTailoring]

I used regular thread. But seraflex is great for stretchy fabrics. Cheers 🙂

[@Jag4MEH]

Do you offer an online sewing tailoring classes. I would love it

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hi Carmen. Thank you 🥰 I am not offering classes online at this time. I'm working on a project right now. Cheers 🙂

[@jtpfla3]

Where are you and can I just send you all my garment alteration needs

[@netteross716]

How do you take out a puff sleeve from a v neck cotton/poly quarter sleeve jersey shirt. And add a traditional flat quarter sleeve.

[@DowntownTailoring]

In a nutshell, you remove it, open it flat and cut it again. I should make a video about it 🙂

[@georgiannachalkus9774]

What product are you using to make your marks?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hi! I use Carmel disappearing tailor chalk. Cheers 😊
