Dear Members,
Please use this message board page to give us feedback on the Pants Alteration: Side Seams and Waistband video title.
You can also fill out a quick anonymous survey letting us know what you think of the Pants Alteration's new voice-over by Clicking Here.
Thanks in advance!
Dear chakitakay,
Thanks so much. What you can do is separate the waistband from the waistline, passing the side seams by about 5 cm, or more as needed. Then take in from both side seam and the excess amount from the center back of the waistband. Baste everything and do a fitting before trimming any excess fabric.
Happy sewing,
Nehzat
I like Arad's voice. Nehzat, you have charming tones to your voice; but they are low, and don't stand out well on the videos.
Arad has a clear delivery.
Who does the photography work? That and the lighting are excellent.
Love,

Dear nehzat_fan
Thank you for your kind words, I will let Arad know. We do all our own shooting and lighting ourselves we always strive to make the videos as clear as possible.
Happy sewing,
Nehzat
Hello Wondeful Nehzat,
Voice over is nice in newest videos. Nehzat your voice is wonderful. Especially soothing.
You may not realize how nice it is. Not only do I find your videos the most helpful I have seen (and I have seen alot lately) but your voice adds to experience and it does not distract.
Sincerely

Thanks for your kind words.
When I was young, sewing was my hobby and I used to prick my finger all the time. Sometimes it was very painful when the end of the needle touched that spot, but still I didn’t want to take a brake for it, to heal. Then one day my aunt asked me: “Why don’t you use a thimble?”
I told her I do use it sometimes, but I don’t know why I keep using my other finger to push the needle instead.
She said: “tonight when you go to bed, wear your thimble. This way tomorrow when you wake up your finger will be used to it, and you will not have any thimble problems.”
I followed her advice and it worked!!!
I hope it helps you too.
The voice-over is very well done, however, I miss hearing your voice on the video.
I have not gone through this particular video, but I have a pair of denim pants for my baby that need to be taken in so I know I will soon. I HAVE however, used the hemming videos and THANK YOU!! I have hemmed items before but they were never very good. In the past 2 days I have hemmed 3 pair of pants for my 15 month old son and they are perfect!! I haven't learned the talent of the thimble though and my finger is a bit sore. (It is rather used to it though since I knit and use that same finger to push my knitting needle ;-( ) You have changed the way I feel about hemming and I don't think I'll ever pay someone else to do it again.

Hi Nehzat,
I enjoy your videos very much and I'm learning a lot.I want to alter a pair of work/dress pants that I have but they are not the same type of pants featured in your video (side seams running up the waistband). My pants only have one seam running up the waistband and it's located in the centerback (I guess it's made more like a man's pants). How would I alter this type of pants to "take in" the waist?
Thanks:~)
