Brother, this is awesome THANK YOU. All the factory joggers are too long for me and it doesn't look good to roll them up more, so this is a perfect solution and luckily it looks much easier than a normal denim hem!
Thanks a million! Finding it easy to follow along with you. My son will be surprised when he wakes up for school tomorrow! He wanted more khaki joggers, but I was not buying more because he has 4 regular khakis for school. Now he'll have 4 more pairs of uniform joggers! This new subscriber is feeling G double O D!
Thanks so much for posting this. I was pinning my elastic in wrong. I’m relieved I watched this first. In my gut I knew I was doing something wrong. It’s been longer than I’d care to admit since I’ve sewn elastic into cuffs lol.
I hand sewed these too, took forever and resorted to getting my sister to stretch the elastic for me while I sewed, I really need to get me a sewing machine aha, thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you I needed a clear easy way to start. I'm hand sewing my toddlers school tracksuit bottoms coz they are straight and long so instead of a normal crop I prefer this look and we will undo it when he gets taller instead of cutting it short.. your explanation was easy to follow on how to lay the elastic and how to sew the hem over it. I didn't sew the elastic in place all the way around only the corners to connect it coz I don't have the time
If you're dealing with knit fabric (e.g. fleece e.g. if you pull a thread the whole thing basically unravels), I highly suggest: 1. cutting off the hem and throwing away the elastic that already came with the joggers 2. secure the side seams on both sides near the raw edge where you cut it (to prevent further unravelling) 3. then going ahead with the steps in this video. ps. remember to measure a 1.5cm le-way incase of any adjustsments. And always measure where you want your hem to be, and go a few cms down because knit material is stretchy and therefore when you sit down you want to prevent the material from going above your ankles. Goodluck!
Dude you are my hero I have looked and looked and looked on here for this tutorial and could not find one and then I have to type in a stupid question and it popped up
***** do I need to cut my pants?? I saw it on another tutorial and he/she didn't do it. And what should I consider if I want it like that: cdn.wildfang.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/1024x576/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/0/100727-zanerobe-camo-sureshot-chino-pants-8.jpg

I have a couple pairs of cuffed carrot chinos by Bellfield, D-struct, Burton Menswear London, and Topman. Bellfield and D-struct have four "layers" of stitching while Burton and Topman have three "layers" of stitching. How would I replicate that look? Could you make a tutorial on that? Thanks!
Too bad you didn’t use a zig zag at at least 6 mm... now my mother-in-law has to undo my zero width single stitch seem that was all fucked up (2 times across) but I will try again with the zigzag should’ve done that from the start
I got a pair of denim joggers from American eagle. The cuffs are really over stretched is there a way to fix it. I am trynna find videos about it how to fix it I can't find anything at all. Please help.
rip the seam out where the cuff is and take out the elastic cut a new strip to your ankle size and just sew it in the place of the old jogger. basically do what he did after you take out the old elastic
The whole point of cuffing is to prevent the bottom of the pants from fraying. If you want a baggy look, I would get a baggy pair of pants and then do the tutorial.
Yes, you can definitely do that. I recommend getting a seam ripper, that will help you to rip the thread out better without cutting important parts you may need for your joggers. But you can definitely do that.
It can be done for all types of pants. If you don't have much length to work with, I would do the ribbed cuff on a separate piece of fabric and then bond it onto your pair of scrubs.
