You’ve got a ton of knowhow. Moreover, you’re a great teacher. Through your video I “salvaged” a couple pair of long underwear by sewing in a new elastic waist. I’m a guy who inherited a sewing machine from my mom and began experimenting with it. Great machine. It’s similar to using woodworking tools only the medium is different--wood vs. fabric. Thanks for your expertise.

I liked this video. I saw enough of the process to know what to do.

@TheCraftyCanary 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! I wish I could get the camera closer to the sewing machine. I hope to figure that out one day for future videos! Thank you for watching!

Having bare elastic from the inside looks very unfinished. If I did that method for other people , boy I’m sure I’d hear about it. I would never do this to my own pants. I’m glad it works for you.

@TheCraftyCanary 26 дней назад

I agree: it does look very unfinished! As I say in the video, for a customer, I would do it very differently. The purpose here is just to get a little more wear out of my own rather worn-out pajama or workout pants and help others (especially newer sewers) to do the same. I don't mind the unfinished look on the inside for myself. Maybe I'm a little too frugal! :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

My issue is always wanting to remove the elastic from waistbands. Do you have any tricks for removing elastic that is sewn in like this?

@TheCraftyCanary 26 дней назад

No real tricks, unfortunately. Just a lot of patience in taking out all the little stitches. I find any tricks, I will share them! Thanks for watching!

Would have preferred to see the process

@TheCraftyCanary 26 дней назад

Sorry my setup is not quite as sophisticated as I would like it to be. Hope to improve that in the future. Thanks for watching!

@carolynevans8826 9 месяцев назад

Alot off camera when doing it so not that helpful if can't see it

@TheCraftyCanary 26 дней назад

Thanks for the advice. Will try to do better next time.

Also, I recently threw away a swimsuit where the leg elastics had given up. I had thought at the time that I should use it as a learning experience to see if I could just sew an elastic on top, just like you've done here. I don't remember why I decided it would be too challenging. Could you please do a video on it?

@TheCraftyCanary 26 дней назад

Sorry for the late reply! I've taken a bit of a break from RU-vid, but I'm working on doing more. I will try to do a video on that in the future. Thank you for the idea! And thanks so much for watching!

@hovawart16 3 месяца назад

Do you think you've gotten a feel for how much to stretch the elastic through experience? I wonder if I should pin it at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock first, since I don't really have that feel yet.

@TheCraftyCanary 3 месяца назад

Yes, I think you are right! Pinning it would probably help me to be more accurate, too! :)

@d.thomas632 8 месяцев назад

Isn’t that going to be scratchy against the skin, having the elastic exposed like that?

@TheCraftyCanary 8 месяцев назад

It doesn’t really bother me, but it might bother people with sensitive skin. You can also buy soft waistband elastic that feels a little better than the regular stuff. I hope that helps!

@DanaMariedotorg 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your sewing talents on this video. I would like to fix a pair of leggings but I don't have a machine. Not sure I will have the patience 😢to hand stitch all the way around.

@TheCraftyCanary 26 дней назад

That would be really hard to hand sew! They do have some inexpensive machines in the low $100 range that work really well. Or you could always borrow a friend's machine if they don't mind! Thanks for watching!
