    Such a clever way to do this! My daughter bought bunch of jeans for her kids at a community wide garage sale and asked me to hem some without cutting them off. So when I found this video, I was thrilled! It works great….just like magic!

    I just did this to some bootcut jeans and they came out perfect. I wasn’t sure they would look ok at first since they’re wider at the ends but I just shortened them an inch that’s probably why it didn’t bunch up.

    Does this work on wide leg pants?

    • @nikyakuan
      @nikyakuan 2 роки тому +1

      The problem with wide leg pants is that they are widest at the bottom. So if you're taking off a lot of length, you'll end up with a hem that's much wider than the section you're trying to sew it to. So, it won't match up right. You're better off cutting them down and sewing a new hem.
