Tailoring Tips: Taking In Excess Knee Fabric

Video Transcript

"So, I'm going to talk about different ways that you can enhance pants on your figure. There are little tricks that I've come realize. The first trick, is that sometimes pant patterns leave a lot of space at your knee. And, it takes this wideness at your thigh and it just continues down. But, if you were to pull that in it would be a slimmer leg in total. And, you would just be pulling fabric back. But, these pants what I'm kind of interested in is I don't like them belled out at the end. What I want them to be, is I want that to continue all the way down like that. I want to change the leg, completely change the shape of the leg. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to put some pins in the back. As I pull it, I like the way it looks in the front. I'm going to start by putting a pin back here, that how I want the front to be. And I'll turn around so you can see the difference in the legs so far. See this one versus that one. I'm changing the shape of the leg. I'm going to continue down, because I want to get rid of this shape. And, I want to add a new shape. So, you can see how it's changing. But, I still need to make it pull it in more. Pulling it in more there. So, you see we have two different legs now. And, then I want to follow it all the way down to about."
