When it comes to sewing and repairing clothes, what else do you want to know?!
This video has helped me a lot! Thank you for that!!!
But you could make a video about how to shorten jeans and keep original hem 🤔
I would like to learn how to shorten sleeves. Thank you 😊
blind stitching pants to make it look more trim fitting please :)
such a great tutorial. I have a cheap sewing machine so wasn't sure if it was possible, but you made it easy to do it by hand or for those without the pro equipment and it was quick too! you're a great teacher! thank you so much.
many things neither of my clothes fit and I end up waisting my money blah
Thanks Sewing at Home Mom, I hemmed 3 expensive designer pants/suits today with your technique. After watching a lot of videos I chose yours because you're the best IMHO. It looks as good as the sewing machine blind stitch job from the suit store and I saved myself $50....
Wonderful! I'm very happy to hear that! 👏🏻☺️
Thank you for this video. It's so well done and includes each step that even I can complete a blind hem stitch. And I think the use of the yellow thread was brilliant.
You have the heart and gift of a teacher.
Glad it was helpful!
wow, what a great video.
Props to you for being really good and slow at explaining. *annoying fallen hemline* LOL
also i like your voice.
Glad it helped!
Clarity of video w closeup is excellent. All tutorial diy video should be well done like this. Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad you think so!
I watched many videos on how to sew an invisible hem on my pants and your video was the only one that had clear instructions that I could follow to get the job done...5 stars...thanks for the video
Thanks a bunch for your gratifying feedback!
Thank you for making it easier for anyone to hem their own pants! Tailors charge a fortune and your method by far is as good as any tailors! You are gifted at teaching and will look forward to more of your videos!🙂
This is the video I've been looking for. Lights, focus, and techniques all perfect!
Great to hear!
Your video was a lifesaver. Thank you. I did it on my son's pants for his prom. They were about 6" too long, but I didnt cut them though because he might grow into them. I did exactly what you said, kept the pins on while I was sewing, it made it easier to handle. I literally made sure to grab 1 thread or the most 2, so it won't be very visible on the outer side. I was able to do it pretty ok on the 1st try. The pants are charcoal colored so you can barely notice it. My son was very happy with the result. Thank you so much!
That's awesome! Thank you for your feedback! ☺️
Amazing tutorial!!!! Super helpful and easy to understand!
Thanks for the great feedback!😊. Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. 😊.
Thanks for this video! I learnt fast (actually it worked better than I expected), saved some money and relaxed at the same time. Highly appreciated :)
Glad it helped!
Thank you for teaching
You are welcome ☺️🙂
Excellent pants hemming sewing tutorial! Thank you! ❤
Glad you like them! ❤️☺️
I used this video to help me hand hem some pants for the first time. They turned out beautifully, and I didnt even have thread that matched well. Thank youuu 🙏🏻
Wonderful! Thank you for your feedback ☺️🫶
Thank you Sewing at Home Legend... I'm an Australian bloke and this much looks much better than the paper staples I used to hem my work dress pants 😃. G
Glad it was helpful so you don't have to use the paper staples no more 😊
You have a very relaxing and patient voice. Excellent teacher!
Thank you for your appreciation!🥰 I hope you’ll love my other tutorials!
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! Very well done and straight to the point!
Thanks so much for your positive feedback!
This is really helpful. Wish I had known about this blind stitch when I first tried to hem my pants.
Hey! We learn something new every day! This blind stitch technique is very handy and easy all together.
Makes me very happy to know you found this video helpful. Cheers! 😊
Thanks for this, needed a quick refresh for my son's school trousers, also easy to follow as you have a lovely accent 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I did it!! I haven’t done any sewing since HomeEc class in Jr High (other than buttons) and I feel so proud now! 😊 Thank you very much for teaching me! ❤
Wonderful!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for your video. I am a new subscriber, from the UK 🇬🇧👍🏽
Perfect tutorial! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback!☺️
i’m going to try this tonight, as this method looks cleaner and neater than a machine blind hem.
Did it work for you?
Thank you.that is an awesome stitch and you did it perfectly. Now I have to practice it.😮😅
You can do it!
This is exactly the information that I needed. Thank you.
Glad to hear that! You're welcome!
Beautiful done. Thanks.
Glad to hear that! 😀
Alice - I just picked up a suit pants that I needed hemmed and I was so disappointed. The hemline was not only showing, but was crooked. There was some "bunching" of the material. Needless to say, very disappointing on a new suit. Your video here details the attention to detail of the process of making a hidden stick. It does not seem to be hard, nor take a long time. I just don't understand how a seamstress can hand someone some altered pants with an obvious hemline.
I just wanted to say I appreciate people like you. People who take the time to learn, do things correct, and do the best you can do. You also have a very nice way of teaching - patient, detailed, and illustrative. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. It means a lot and your readers truly appreciate your efforts and work. Thank you.
Thank you for such a wonderful feedback!
I'll have to agree with you on this: "I just don't understand how a seamstress can hand someone some altered pants with an obvious hemline."
And I'm glad you were able to fix your suit pants in the end!
Thank youuuuu!!!
Funny how the smallest thing can make a difference. I also tried going from the excess fabric to the pant leg - as I have seen in other videos too. Going from the pant leg TO the hem gives you more control over placement and picking up threads. And the way you fold over the hem so the lose thread isn’t exposed is the first time I have seen this technique - makes such a difference! Thanks for this video - just subscribed!
I'm super happy that you find this video useful! Thanks for your feedback and sub!
Thank you so much . I just hemmed my husband’s pants . Love this technique.
Wonderful!
Very helpful! THANK You 😻
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Thank you for this video, it is very easy to follow.
Glad to hear that!
I'm so proud of myself learning these stitching techniques. These are real skills that make me feel capable and independent. My mum knows all of these but she doesn't teach me. She says you don't need them, you can give it to the trailer to do it. Bc i have a good job. But i feel stupid if I'm a surgeon and I can't make a stitch on my pants before a conference!
Awesome to hear that you've learnt this stitching technique! Bravo to you! 😊
so good!
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome!
thank you
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!

Great idea! Will work on that! 😀
Excelente tutorial👍
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Never seen it done like this. Nice
Hope it was easy to follow along for you! Thank you for your feedback ☺️
Thank you! It'd been a while since I hemmed pants and this was the stitch I was trying to remember!
Wonderful! Let me know how it went😀 Thank you for watching!

In the video it glitched or when edited a part is missing. You show a part of it but than skips to you pushing needle in between two fabrics and out one end and says here the knot but how did you do the know when are you suppose to knot?
Hi K Myers! Once you blind stitch your hem all the way around, it's best to secure that stitch before you cut it off. You can do so, by creating a knot at the end. Once you make the finishing stitch knot, you can (but don't have to) pull the thread between the two fabrics to hide it, therefore you can't accidentally pull on it and rip the stitch. It's extra step to protect the hem from undoing itself. Hope this explanation helps!😊
Omg you are so helpful
Glad you think so!
Wow that sure is invisible from the right side. Great job considering you used yellow thread.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very useful. How do you do a knot on the needle?
Thank you! I have a short video in my video library that shows the process.
Here is the link ua-cam.com/users/shortsy4KF_LJrEjI?feature=share
@@SewingatHomeMom thank you
Needed that, thank you
Happy to help
What if the fabric is thin??i think it wont work?
Same technique, but be VERY careful and use extra fine sewing needle and thread. Cheers!😊
hi i have cuffed dress pants that seem to have lost the stiching on the inside of the hem. i do not understand how it stiched threw the fabric without showing the stiching on the oustside cuff. i need to fix that. coud you please help.
I will make a video to show you the steps how it's done. It's more complicated than normal plain hem. I'll let you know when it's ready. 🙂
Good job 🌹👍
Thank you! Cheers!
If I needed to shorten pants then do a blind hem stitch would I have to cut off the extra or could I tack it to the inside seams
Hello @Samantha T, how long is your extra? An average, up to 2.5 inch is easy to tack inside.
If your extra is longer but you need to keep the extra fabric (lets say for your child that's still growing), you can make additional fold and finish off with normal blind stitch. Please keep in mind that it will create bulky hem. Hope that helps!
@@SewingatHomeMom this is helpful thank you! The extra is exactly 2.5 inches
Oh but what if I cut it and I don't have the same nice top like you have? How do I do that?
Are you asking about the raw edge of the fabric after you trim the excess fabric with the original serger stitch finish, I'm not sure? Like, how to finish off / secure the raw edges of the fabric? If that's the case, there are many options. Just to name couple: If you have a domestic sewing machine - zigzag stitch is wildly use to secure the raw edges of the hem. Also, it can be done by hand with overcast stitch, sometimes called whipstitch. This is a hand sewing stitch that wraps the working thread around the edges of fabric. Blanket stitch will secure the raw edges of the fabric too.
Great work mam, can you guide me how to turn men's trackpant (night lower) to capri, I'm beginner in sewing can you help me mam
Capri pants can be any length between the knee and the ankle. Usually, they end in the mid-calf region. I would hem them as normal pants with a regular straight stitch.
I'll upload hemming basic pants/jeans soon. Hope this helps! 🙂
What if the fabric is too solid and you can't pull just one thread?
Try changing the needle. Hand sewing needles vary according to: length, shape of the eye, size, type of point and the purpose of the needle. There are many different types of needles and there should be the right needle produced for that kind of fabric.
Minute 5:13. How to get a knot in there to finish up?? Did I miss something??!
How to sew a hole made in tights/hose! by your toe's?
To fix holes in the toe area, best practise is to do some darning or mending. Easily done with darning stitch technique - a little bit different technique from regular sewing. Hope it helps!
@@SewingatHomeMom, Thank you so much for the information, have you got a video so I can see the Darning Stich technique?
dress pants hemmed by hand were wrinkled at the hem after i was done what did i do wrong?
It's hard to tell without seeing it, but maybe undoing the hem stitch and iron pressing the hem area first will help. After that hem it again.
Also, this can happen if the leg pants bottom (at the hem line) is significantly more narrow. In this case you would have to release the side seam allowance at the hem seams.
How did you make the knot at the end? Why is there 2 strands going through the needle instead of one simply tied at the end of the needle? I maybe need watch a beginner video this is probably for more experienced people
In this video it's not shown how to step by step tie ending knot. But recently I uploaded a new video with detailed explanation on how to start sewing knot and how to end finishing knot. And the concept of sewing with one strand vs 2 strands of thread. If you're interested, here is a link to this video: Starting sewing knot for hand stitch - Sewing tips! ua-cam.com/video/dFecR4z5F3g/v-deo.html
There are different methods as well but I find this one to be working well for me.
Question? Please
Beautifully hemmed. You are just as meticulous as me.
Thank you! Cheers!
Whats d name of that fabric?
Hi Ciara, if you're referring to the trousers, I think they're made of wool. 🙂
Hardest part for me is ironing it into a straight line
Try covering the hem with damp 100% cotton cloth and then iron it. Le the know if it helped!
Great video, but I think you explained it too fast.
Light pants and dark thread would have been easier to see. You lost me!😲😣💔
Sorry to hear about that! But I like your idea! This could end up as my future video. Thank you for suggestion 😊
Thanks for wasting 5minutes of my life to relay 30seconds of information!
So you added folding that piece over just to break concentration & break focus on something THAT ISNT ESSENTIAL! MAYBE ONLY EXPLAIN WHATS NEEDED I DONT NEED EXTRA INFORMATION THAT IS UNHELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
