Even if you are a happy owner of a super-standard figure, for sure you at least once had to wonder: how to sew jeans? And it’s not about those cases when a thing is not purchased in size. It happens that it’s difficult to pick up tight-fitting pants on thin legs. It happens that the model does not suit the width of the trousers. And there is such a thing that jeans sit perfectly, but here in the waist they are a little clatter, the reason for this is the peculiarities of the figure.
So, if you do not know how to tighten your jeans at home - this is not a reason to carry them in the studio. There they charge so much for a similar service that it’s easier to buy new ones. Solved! We get a sewing machine, threads, tailor's chalk, scissors and tailor's pins (those with round heads).
How to sew jeans depends on the place we want to reduce. You can do this in three places - in the belt at the back, on the sides and trouser legs below.
The first case is “yours”, if you have a strong deflection in the lower back, then even the most tight-fitting jeans at the waist at the back are a little gnarled. To get rid of this defect, we take the following steps. Unzip the back seam, cut the belt along, previously repulse the loops (eyelet for the belt). Before ripping, you need to measure how many extra centimeters you need to remove. We divide these centimeters into two and draw a chalk on each side as needed. The line goes from top to bottom, toward the end it gradually goes to "no". Before cutting off excess tissue, measure how many centimeters are taken for allowances on the left and right (usually these are different values).
So, the excess fabric is cut off, according to the measured allowances we combine the parts, knit, sew, bend inward for a larger allowance, stitch it. We turn on the front side.
We cut off excess fabric from the belt, sew the belt, sew the belt loops back. Done! By the same principle, jeans are sutured from the sides. Naturally, only the side seams are unstuck, the belt is cut on the sides. We cut off the excess fabric, sew the side parts and the belt again, and return the loops to their place.
Also of great difficulty is not the question of how to close jeans in trousers. For example, if you have flared jeans, and you want skinny passion! Of course, if you have rapper jeans, don’t take them in, don’t take them in - they won’t get out of the pants. The rest can be dealt with.
Before you narrow the jeans at home, put them on, stand in front of the mirror (it is better to stock up on an assistant). With tailor's pins, we carefully stab those places that we would like to remove. You need to do this on the front side. It is enough, however, to stab only one leg, and measure the second on it, otherwise the risk is great to get their different widths.
After stabbing, carefully remove the jeans, turn inside out, with tailor's chalk, mark the place of stabbing from the wrong side with dashes. We remove the pins, draw a line along the lines of the future seam, it should be as even as possible. Next, we combine both legs, along the drawn line we pierce through all layers of fabric through, draw a cut line on the second leg.
We cut off the excess, knit the seams, sew on a typewriter, process the edges with a zigzag or overlock. twist, try on. In general, it is very useful to try on the product several times in the process.
Now you know how to close jeans at home. Go for it!
