In this video I’ll show you step by step how to shorten the length properly on tailored pants or skirts. I’ll teach you how to do a proper ‘blind stitch’ (or invisible stitch) which means you can’t see any stitching on the outside of your garment as it will be hidden inside. This is the proper way to hem suiting pants or tailored skirts and can be done completely by hand without a sewing machine!
If you have never used a sewing machine or if you’re rusty with how to thread one up, then make sure you watch this video first! • Setting up a Sewing Ma...

I am so grateful!! A pair of pants came unsewn on half of one leg, and with your guidance, I was able to repair it. I dare say that my hemming, with your instruction, looks better than the original! My mother would have ordinarily taught me how to do this, but she lives on the other side of the planet. I am very grateful for your time and willingness to employ the miracle of video and internet to teach me. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so glad I could help and that your pants turned out great! Well done!
I can't quite believe it! I've actually successfully done my first hemming and it looks professional!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

What is the benefit/purpose of catching just the hem allowance for every other stitch? I know most hems are done that way, but it always seemed like it would result in a weaker (or at least more delicate) hem. What does that part of the stitch do?
Great video, by the way! I'm super excited that you're uploading again!
It's great to be uploading again, thanks! I think the purpose of only catching the hem allowance every second stitch is to allow for such a small shallow stitch. Both the top and lower stitches only go through one layer of fabric to achieve the 'blind' appearance, so I'm assuming going through 2 layers would create less of a seamless look!
Thanks for this video! Will this stitch hold up well in the wash, or would you not recommend?
You're welcome! It will definitely hold up in the wash!
What is the thinner thread called if I would like to purchase?
I believe it's called bonded nylon thread, but you can also search for invisible thread, blind stitch thread and hem thread.
