How to Shorten Jeans with Original Hem 

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.

My mother too

Oh really very sorry for ur big lose Allah give her high place in heaven Ameen

I m sorry😔

God bless you i sent one up for you ^

I understand that you are a bot, but you have a very beautiful name, I think I would have done everything for you, 20 years ago. Remember that you are the best thing in our life and this is worth living for, RU-vid is just a good helper. I'm a surgeon

⁠​⁠​⁠@@sewwayWhat in the world are you talking about? A person commented that they liked your video and said it helped them hem their jeans. What are you going on about the person being a bot( they’re not) and talking about how you would have done everything for them twenty years ago and they are the best thing in your life?

Correct with a big “C”.

Thank you

Thank you very much. But you're not related to Murphy in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? If not, then thank you again

It's a good idea, I didn't know

What if you need to take off three inches, can you still use this same method? How to keep bottom (underside excess) from sticking out?

Thank you

Thanks for the kind words. If people learned to always be kind, the world would become the happiest place in the universe

👏❤ congratulations

Not sure how you cut the extra material off left inside ?

@@philipwatts9033 I think it’s left there.

@@djangle67 ok so it’s ends up a bit thicker. Thanks

Thank you

Yoga huh..if you get that huge bubble yoga butt, you won't need to shorten your yoga pants..Ass will eat that size up for sure..try it..

It's always nice to hear this from real men who know how to appreciate the work of a woman.

Thank you

Thanks

Thank you

Try it on old jeans first

Thank you

It’s a zipper foot

Thank you, it is so important to have at least a little positive in our difficult life

Try it, but it's better not to cut too much if it's jeans for a child. Our kids grow up fast but jeans don't grow

Thank you

Thank you

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.

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

​@sewway I don't have a sewing machine and I don't understand what process the cut with an over lock or zigzag mean, can you explain more?

Thank

Zipper foot. The stitching line will be as close as possible to the hem stitching line.

I can only show, I can't do.

@@sewway 🙂🙂

Normal setting

The measurement of the wrist is much smaller than the circumference of the arm above the elbow. So no, it won't work.

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.

Thank you

You are very attentive. This is the most difficult area, we have a video on the channel how to do it.

@@sewway Thank you. That is what I thought it was but I always like to check to make sure that I have it right.
