    Wow he’s the youngest tailor I’ve ever seen. Congratulations on learning such a beautiful craft at a young age.

    My dad taught me this like a month ago. Changed my jeans graveyard drastically. Once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy and looks good. I liked it so much after the first leg hole I finished I did 3 more pants the same day.

    Thanks so much for sharing this! My nephew needed new dress pants hemmed at the last minute, the day of homecoming. Nobody could help him that quickly, so we did it ourselves!

    Your tailor certainly knows many/if not all of the tricks of the trade. Very informative video, and I for one, appreciate this series on Tailoring you have/are developing. Thanks for sharing this information. Job well done!

    This is awesome! I've been wanting to hem my own pants for quite some time. My grandma always made this look so easy, but I'm definitely going to practice before I work on a set of trousers.

    Thank You So Much for this well done instructional video! The only video I found showing the blind hem BY HAND! I sew by hand but literally could not figure out how this was done🤣 Getting to it now... hubby's first day is tomorrow 🥰
    Thanks Again💖

    Although I've never lengthened a pair of pants, instead, shortened 100% of them, it was cool to see how the blind stick goes when I need to do it myself if an emergency occurs. Thank you very much aspiring gent and kavalier to make it happen!

    My mom used to do this for all my dad suit pants bc he was kinda short lol he got them tailored in big brand name stores but she always had to retouch them anyway bc there were days the stitches came undone or she had to reinforce them. I have no clue how to do this and my husband has to go to a wedding in a couple of hours. Hoping I can do it... it's already hell on earth trying to iron this. 😂

    Is the blind stitch more prone to ripping since you only grab a few strands of the fabric? and following that thus damaging the fabric?

    • @The_Kavalier
      @The_Kavalier  5 років тому +1

      Good question, Louis?

    • @AspiringGent
      @AspiringGent 5 років тому

      In my experience you only grab a little bit of fabric so it will tear away without causing noticeable damage. (But make sure you don’t grab too much fabric )Also make sure your stitches are close together to prevent that problem.

    I'd love to be able to do this, but I found it difficult to see what you were doing up close and many steps were kind of rushed over. For someone who's never done this and wants to learn, I found it too fast.
