How to Take In the Back Waist of Jeans to make Smaller Step by Step Tutorial with Flat Fell Seam
Are the top of your jeans too big You can take in the back waist and seat to resize your jeans for a tailored fit. This type of jean alteration looks complicated but I ll show you how with step by step instructions to finish with a proper flat fell (flat felled) seam. Whether you have new jeans that don t fit perfectly or you want to do a denim jeans thrift flip, just follow along to make your jeans smaller. There are many hacks out there to take in the waist of jeans but none of them will give you a nice neat fitted finish. All that extra fabric has to go somewhere so usually it s gathered up at the sides or back. That s ok if that is the look you are after but if you want fitted jeans, seams have to be taken in. For this pair of jeans, I am only taking in the back seam as the hips already fit and most of the extra fabric sticks out at the centre back. I never add darts on the back of jeans as they are too thick and lumpy and not very comfortable.
