I have only just found your channel. I LOVE IT!!! You explain everything so that I can understand it. I have sewn all my life (over 50 years!) but YOU TEACH ME SOMETHING NEW EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Thank you for doing these videos... and btw... I love your personality, your voice and your ability to teach... it makes a wonderful "package" that translates (portrays YOUR ability and YOU) very well!!!
I've been sewing for over 60 years and have a bit of experience but never could figure out the best way to taper jeans. Your way makes PERFECT sense to me! Please keep up your WONDERFUL videos; I've very grateful to have them for reference. You are a gem!
"Don't trust me, just do it" lol she is adorable. I have learned so much since subscribing. I've been sewing a long time, but have always been intimidated by alterations. Thank you!!!!
I tappered some jeans in the past like the "normal and straight" method and always thought it was so strange bcause "legs aren't straight" I don't even have to try to know this method is waaaay better. Thanks :D
I ordered my ruler like yours I have no idea how I sewed without it I love alterations and you are the best teacher I have ever watched please make more
Thanks! Your method makes total sense. I am not very good at alterations yet but I bought a curved ruler. I am feeling like I was smart for buying it now!
Hi! Thanks. For Eurohem just cut the pants to the desired length. The seam allowance you need to sew back the hem is almost equal to the hem. That's why you can avoid calculations. Cheers 😊
Hi again. Another excellent demonstration with clear explanation throughout. The addition of the illustration helped to understanding the overall process.
You literally are amazing! So nicely explained. Liked 👍 and already subscribed! Would you please do a video on the professional way to do a crossover waist detail on denim jeans. There is no good professional video I’ve found on RU-vid. Thank you in advanced 😊👍
You did a really good job, BUT... Your new topstitches will be noticeable. Maybe not easily, but it will. There is technique that you can keep the ORIGINAL top stitches. Yes, it's kind of more complicated, but doable.
Great video! Just was hoping for "after" pictures? Either modelled or on a mannequin, with a comparison of how it would have looked without the curve? I've noticed some people's calf muscles on the inseam are not as pronounced as others, particularly if the person is bowlegged at all. Some people have that curve, and some people really don't. Curious how it looks on. Edit: just looked at the thumbnail. That's really interesting.
Hi it’s me again 😁 What is your name please, so i won’t always say Miss 😁 I don’t know who’s speaking behind the video, but it’s great because she knows exactly what to say. I have to say, i’m a little confused , the video is really good and i will listen to it meany times , and i will catch it 🤪 Thank you Again Miss Great work and video Please excuse my English, i really try to do my best and don’t always find the words i want. French in English is not always easy 😁 Have a good evening 🌹
Hello Sophie! My name is Aida, and the person who is doing the voiceover sometimes is my daughter. She edits all of the videos so sometimes she does a voice over for clarification. Your English is great!! Cheers :)
Let me add I have been sewing as-needed my entire life, mostly altering, and probably this biggest issue of annoyance is trying something on and marking myself. I often just do a basting seam - taking in a little and try on again and decide whether to take in more or complete. When I turn jeans into shorts I have a hard time marking myself one leg then, copying to the other leg and have it turn out exact at the end. I know this probably has to do with not knowing the best way, coupled by just rushing to complete. I have folded jeans and marked the 2nd leg yet when I cut, it is off. there must be some little fabric grinch living in my house that messes it up while I am cutting.
Thank you so much! I developed this technique myself through trial and error. When the fashion trends started to change with pants as they became more slim each time, there was a point in which you couldn’t have it so tapered are the ankle and be comfortable at the calf/knees at the same time. So I realized that I had to make it curved somehow. It occurred to me that imitating the leg curve would solve the problem!
I'm a beginner so this is too fast for me as the video is sped up 5x in certain places. Also, there are not enough step-by-step instructions. The skipping steps verbally and/or lack of detail at this speed is only for very experienced seamstresses with years of sewing under their belt. I'm completely out of my depth with your style. TY.
