Question
Please tell me how to take pants in on the sides when there are pockets.
HI Katharina,
A lot depends on how much too big the pants are. You might be able to just open the seam and increase the back side seam allowance enough to get them to fit.
Most of the time pants are altered usnig the center back seam.
hope this helps.
