I've recently lost my wonderful Mum who was so talanted, especially in dressmaking. No one to shorten my jeans now. But after watching this I'm going to give it a go. Thanks 👍

I'm so sorry you lost your mother recently; please accept my condolences. I am here for the same reason. My mom passed away about two years ago and she did all my hemming and alteration work. She was an amazing seamstress despite it just being a hobby. She did everything from clothes to drapes to making the most exquisitely perfect slipcovers you've ever seen. After she passed, I then went to my grandmother for a while because she loved doing them and insisted as she didn't want me to "waste my money" on a tailor (she also did amazing work so she didn't have to insist too hard!l. She passed away about a year ago, and since then I haven't needed anything done. Long story short, I vaguely remember how to using a sewing machine from Home Ec in middle school some 25 years ago, so I figured I'd get a cheap secondhand sewing machine from Goodwill and try my hand at it, and then I was looking up videos on how to properly hem jeans, and here I am. I wonder how many other people are here for similar reasons. What a strange world we live in where the comments on a video about sewing a hem can bring up wonderful memories... anyways someone is cutting onions in here, so I'll leave it at that.

This is awesome! I’ve been sewing for years and always used pins to keep my hems in place while re-sewing them. No more! The clips are a major game changer! No more pin pricks! Thank you!!🎉

THANK YOU!!! This is the clearest, most precise video I've ever seen on this technique. I understood everything and went straight ahead and re-hemmed my jeans. Thank you again so much!

If you sew “over the original seem thread” with the same color Jean thread you can purchase… You won’t see that seam at the bottom! I use to alter for a major Jean retailer… 😉

Mulțumesc mult pentru sfaturi

I have been doing this for a few years. My grandson wsa chubby and always had to buy jeans that were too long in order to fit in waist. But thank goodness he is a teenager now and he needs the 29-30 inch length.

When watching this I thought, why _I_ could do that. Thank you!

Thank you for this video,just did my son's trousers. Thank you ,good day

What do you do if it's like a 6 inch you cut off the access? Or can I just use some double side and tape to take it up? So I can let them back out

Thank you so much it's a great guidance ♥️♥️♥️✨✨✨✨

Thanks so much for the clear instructions. I have a few pairs of nearly new trousers and jeans that need taking up, and I usually struggle to make the hems look right. Your video is just what I needed.

I have seen multiple videos, but yours is the best one. It looks very simple, but I know it is not. I have two questions, 1. Which sewing machine do you recommend? 2. it should support the detach bottom part. for denim leg alteration.

You are right that just because acrobats in the circus can easily and cheerfully jump on a trampoline does not mean that it did not require years of training. Almost all modern sewing machines have a removable table. When choosing a sewing machine, remember that it is not the sewing machine that sews, but the person. What, did our grandmothers wear ugly clothes? Well, one last thing. If your sewing machine does not have a removable table, you will also need to sew on the inside jeans, only the second edge will be facing you, uptowards. Well, it is like if you wanted to stitch around the edge of the pan. Place the pan on the machine and then you will understand.

Nice

Actions may speak louder than words, but a commentary is helpful.

Awesome...can you please tell the machine brand for jeans needle and settled which you have changed...

This will flip up the next time it is washed and will always want to fold outward at the seam. You could use iron on tape to keep the fold upright perhaps.

Se conseguir costurar mais perto da mistura original ,fica ainda melhor.

Can it still be done if my jeans are about 6 inches too long?

But what do you do with the excess material? You certainly can’t leave it there if you hem like 2 inches??

I will try this today. I wish you would have spoken throughout the video.

Have you ever used this with other fabrics? I'm wondering if it would work for jersey (I'm going to turn a long sleeved dress into short sleeves)

So this method will keep the jeans original chain stitch and help create the roping fade effect. And will also keep the original leg opening size?

@sewway

Жыл бұрын

The first question is yes. Secondly, this method will also preserve the original size of the opening of the leg in the event that the jeans do not have a strong narrowing of the leg to the bottom.

Miss, here the inside folded part is equal in length to the hem length which is enabling it to hide underneath (1.5+1.5=3), please show what to do incases where the inside folded part is larger than the hem part as it will stick out from below the hem

In this case, you need to cut off the excess fabric and process the cut with an overlock or zigzag, in extreme cases - manually.
