How to Make Your Jeans Bigger by Inserting Elastic - 3 WAYS FROM VERY EASY TO PROFESSIONAL!

Hello friends! In today’s video, I wanted to show you three ways to make your jeans bigger by inserting elastic. I made another video about making your jeans bigger a few months ago and I received many requests on a video of me inserting elastic! The next video I want to make in my "making jeans bigger" series, I want to demonstrate how you insert an entire strip of jeans from the waistband to the hem, so please let me know if that interests you!

I went to a professional tailor where I live. I had two pairs of pants I needed let out a bit. She told me she couldn’t do it😏 little did she know I can sew just had a machine issue so I went and bought a new machine and with these instructions I’ll get it done ✅ thank you so much🥰

Not only is your sewing great--your soft melodic accent makes me feel like I could do it. Thank you so much.

You possess uncanny rare talent…the ability to instruct as well as demonstrate. A win-win for viewers. Thank you for sharing…

Thank you so much for this video. I've been sewing for a lot of years and do alterations for friends and family, but I've always said "No" to altering jeans. Now I feel I can tackle them after seeing this. I also have a number of pants that I need to let out the waistline and Women's pants don't usually have enough seam allowance to let out much. Like a lot of people, the pandemic has encouraged a lot of us to eat more and the resulting added pounds. LOL. I'm glad I found your channel and appreciate you taking the time to teach us.

I love option 1 & 2. Going to try and fix a few pairs of jeans I was planning to donate because they were too tight. Thank you so much for starting this channel! I really appreciate all the advice on tailoring and garment repair that you share here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have a few jeans I was going to give away because they don't fit. This is the perfect solution! I already have the elastic I need, and if I use technique #3 it will only take a little time. Yes yes...I know that #3 doesn't look as professional but sometimes I just want to get my sewing done and not take too much time on it!

I would use either way. I already added fabric to a couple of pants. I used very tight black underwear that I couldn't wear because the stretch material was too strong. It works, but it isn't pretty because I made it up as I did it. I only wear over blouses, so no one sees. Thanks for this.

I recently thrifted 2 pair of jeans that are so “vintage” they don’t have any spandex whatsoever. Therefore the waist needs some expansion. You’re my go-to for alterations. I have the wide elastic, but never thought to join strips to make even wider. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise

You are absolutely right! The first one looks better, but the others look good as well. Perhaps with more practice we will do the first way too! Great job and thanks for showing us your techniques. You are a great teacher!!!

[teresaingram]

Omg i just found four inch elastic im gonna try this tysm!

[d.h.fremont]

Absolutely loved your voiceovers and the project. I listened carefully to every word. Your voice is very listenable. You are well spoken. Thanks for your time.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Very useful technique, no wonder there are over 21, 000 likes! Thank you

[crisheadley]

After watching some of your videos I have to tell you I absolutely love all of your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing your professional techniques! I love your accent too! Reminds me of some of my aunts I haven’t been able to see for a while.

[malenyluna]

So helpful, don't know a thing about sewing but I am so willing to fix my jeans thanks to this video, thank you.

[minerva]

I think the second one, easy and so nicely finished. Great as always.

[beckyev]

Thank you! I have a few pairs of pants with waists I despair of ever fitting into - but the hips and thighs fit fine. This is such a great way to make them wearable! I confess I'll probably take the easiest approach, but wow, you make all three look very good!

[catmom]

I love 💗 your videos! I only wish I knew about this sooner!! You're a great teacher... wish I lived near you, 😿I would love to watch and learn!!

[kierstenridgway]

You are amazing!! Such good, clear instructions! Thank you for sharing. Obviously you have many years of experience.

[lornaramson]

Now I don’t have to throw out my favourite jeans. Thanks so much.

[JoshuaTube]

This looks so good. I’m a long way from being able to do this but this is goals
