I think this is the best technique I've seen on line, for keeping the original hem in jeans! This gentleman here really knows his craft and manages to teach it to us in a perfectly clear and precise way. Thank you sir!
Thank you Krys! Very kind of you!
Yes he is very good at what he does !!! Thank you for sharing your craft !!!

Krys P I don’t understand him 😜
Nici Devine you’re welcome! Glad this was helpful.
Years later and this is still the best technique on how to keep the original hem. Thank you, sir!
I can't put 20 thousand likes. Only one. But I'm ready to say thank you twenty thousand times)). May God grant you health, friend, and long life. I watched so many videos, this method is the best. Super!!!
This is by far the best method I have seen to keep the original hem. Brilliant ! Thank you for sharing this with the world - how kind and nice is that !!!!! Much appreciated.
This is the best tutorial of all tutorials for original hem! I've saved hundreds of dollars by hemming my son's jeans the last 3 years after watching the first video. I look forward to more tutorials!
+Hoopshots Basketball Thank you and so glad to hear the tutorial is helpful! Will be working on more tutorials soon. Be sure to join the free sewing education community at www.sewingeducationcenter.com, also on facebook.com/sewingeducationcenter. Appreciate the comment!
Love vintage machines...
Can you imagine the miles and miles of fabric that have been through this one?
Wow.
Oh... and what a great trick on that hem!
+R McShan Indeed! Many years and miles of fabric. Thank you, glad you found it helpful!
I was thinking the same thing.
You can hear 3 sounds in every stitch, Cli-cla-CLICK Cli-cla-CLICK Cli-cla-CLICK.
@@fm00078 My Mom used a vintage Singer machine that was pedal drive. It was the machine I first used. The sound of it was like a serenade to the soul.
Simply perfect video for teaching this technique. So much appreciation for you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love anybody who sews with a hammer! Excellent tutorial!
🤣
I've always done it this way for my kids' jeans, but never thought of hiding the extra fabric under the old seam. I simply sergered is as best I could or just leave it uncut if it's not too long, so I can open it back up when kids grow taller. This is an excellent idea and well demonstrated. Thank you very much, Sir. Will definitely be useful!
Wonderful to hear! Glad this was helpful - thank you for the nice comment!
This is the best technique I've ever seen for jeans hem. Thank you!
Thank you for kind words! Glad this was helpful.
You are my favorite tailor to watch and learn from! I understand you perfectly and I appreciate your visual techniques so much.... very good teacher! Thank you for this video!
Much better job of explaining the details! Thanks for taking the time to update this technique. I referred many people to your previous version and it created many questions, which you've addressed in this version.
Kevin Sews Thanks Kevin, appreciate the feedback!

I love this way of taking up the hem without having to create another cuff. So good. Thank you for showing your expertise. So talented 😊
GENIUS! Someone once did this for me at a tailor, without even asking me if that's what I wanted, i just said "original hem", my mind was absolutely blown. I honestly have been trying to do this at home, I posted on sewing forums, no one knew what I was talking about, and here is the technique. I was so close to figuring it out on my own but this is an easier technique. I use vice clamps on the thick parts because I live in an apartment and don't want to be banging on stuff like a crazy person. This short person thanks you very much, lol.
Tae Jun thank you and glad this is what you’re looking for. Great idea with vice clamps!
This gentleman certainly knows his craft! Thank you sir for teaching us your method. You are certainly a master sewer.
Patricia Duvall you’re welcome and thank you!
Thank you Sir for this wonderful tutorial! I have always wanted to keep the original hem when taking jeans up. I used to cut away the original hem and then sew it back once the jeans were cut to the desired length. This is an amazing technique and thank you for taking your time to share it with us.
I just watched out of curiousity and was so impressed with your skill and creativity. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Awesome, thank you!
I like all of your alterations and repairs because they are always very neat. Nothing is sloppy or shoddy looking like some so called experts I’ve seen online. Thank you sir!
Angela Ackerman thank you! Appreciate the comment and hope it is helpful. Happy holidays!
Thank you for such a great informational video. It is commendable to have an instructor like Hyi Lim to teach things that might be puzzling for new learners.
I got chills when I saw him hammer the hem to soften the fabric. Finally someone who gets it
Glad you enjoyed it!

This was probably the best treatment ever for doing jeans and I have watched many!! Thank you.
Thank you and glad this was helpful!
Wonderful detail. Perfect magic hem! Thank you so much, Hyi Lim!
+Carol Skilling Thank you very much and you're very welcome!
This is the best method I have seen yet, very clever and time saving. No unnecessary fluff and the results are factory quality (which is great for Jeans) Let's face it, no one wants a pair of jeans that looks like their mom made them. lol. I have done a lot of sewing and for my jeans I'll be using this method from now on. I would also like to say that when I have a lot of stiches to remove on heavy fabric I just pull the folds apart until I can see the inside of the stiches and CAREFULLY alternate, cutting some of them with a razor blade then pulling as much thread out as I can at a time. (That's an Upholstery trick). That is the same type of machine my mother taught me to sew on.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment. Really appreciate it.
The BEST tutorial ever .Clean , clear , no much fuss , no much talk , just perfect .Hats off , thank you sir !
Thank you very much! I am glad this was so helpful.
I am so grateful for your teaching! I just finished my first Magic Hem and am so happy! Looks great and I learned a skill for life.
Wonderful! So glad to hear it! Happy Holidays!
The magic hem by the magic man! That was brilliant and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
tango down thank you so much! I’m so glad this was helpful.
I love the craftsmanship of Mr.R&D and thank you. For sharing your knowledge with the rest of us who Love sewing. I've been doing it since high school which is about 25 years. These tutorials strengthen my love for sewing.
Thank you! I am not much for sewing, but I could not stop watching. Your expertise is exceeded only by your clear instructions. I am encouraged to keep trying. Thanks again.
You had me at "We need any kind of hammer"...Then I realized we were not going to use the hammer to bash the machine. Glad I waited and watched the whole video! LOL
Thanks! EXCELLENT job. I learned a LOT!
Haha, thank you! Glad you watched the whole thing and you never know, the hammer can be useful if the machine doesn't cooperate!
@@Sewingeducationcenter😁😄😄🤣 what a master class!!!! I watched other videos and was not convinced. Today i will apply my new knowledge to that jean that's been waiting for months!! No excuses now. Thank you
This is brilliant! I've watched so many videos and none were as simple as this. I can't thank you enough. Keep making awesome videos! 👏🏽
Thank you! I will put more as soon as I have time.
I followed this tutorial today and hemmed my jeans successfully! It looks really good even for an amateur like me. Thank you so much for making this very helpful tutorial!
That's a marvellous method! You're such a professional man. Thank you very much for posting.
Wow, thank you so much! Years ago I bought a used sewing machine just so I could hem my pants when needed. I use the sewing machine more than any of my other tools. I wondered how to achieve an original appearance when hemming jeans. Your tutorial answered the question beautifully. Thank you, again!
You're welcome and thank you! I'm so glad this was helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial! I have an oversized denim jacket and I hope I can make it smaller without losing the original hems, but you explain this so well and it looks easy because I can see you really know what to do!
+Sorbet Great! Thank you for the nice comment.
Beautiful efficient seamless version of the European hem alteration. Thank you.
Hi , Mr. Hi love your new video on "Magic Hem". Thank You sooo-much .Every thing is Clear.

Amazing! Thank you very much for making this version 2.0 tutorial. Very easy to understand and follow.
+Philip Buslon Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
I learned this from my mom who was a seamstress. This technique gives everything a professional look to anything that you alter. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge.
Wonderful and thank you for sharing this story. You do your mom proud.
Being 4'10 where have you been all my life!! Omg!! Must buy some new jeans now. THANK YOU!!

+Chandan Raj You're welcome!
I just finished my very first magic hem and, thanks to you, it turned out flawless!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks!
@Norm Macdonald Show I'm here, just catching up now on UA-cam messages now that I'm home for a while :) Thank you for the messages!
Thank you for sharing your jeans hemming technique. Hemming jeans is a very hard thing to do and a person can certainly break machine needles! Thank you again. I never thought of using a hammer at my sewing machine!
I watched 3 tutorials and this man clearly got it right! Very professional. End result looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, sir!!
Mr. Lim, thank you very much for making this video! It has been very helpful. I have one happy mother now. :D I am really looking forward for more videos. :)
+Anca Avram Thank you and great to hear! This is a particularly popular tutorial w/ parents :) And call me Hyi ("Hi"). Have a great Thanksgiving!
damn this man is a GENIUS best version of shortening jeans I’ve seen
Thank you!
Agree
I've watched many videos for hemming jeans. This is by far the best. Great job, Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I love the way you teach, with patience and very simplistic; perfect for a beginner sewer such as myself.
+Tammy Anderson Furloni Wonderful! So glad this was helpful.
The best way ive seen...thank you Teacher!!!!!!
Thank you!
This reaIIy is “magic” seam. Thank you.
Thanks Hyi Lim for your tutorial. It was very clear and concise and gives the hem a beautiful finish.
This is the cleanest and most professional looking method. Other videos on UA-cam try to cut corners and you can see the resulting imperfections. This man does it the right way.
Thank you! Glad to hear it's helpful.
So clever. What a great technique!
Thank you!
This video is so much clearer in details thanks so much keep up the great job!!! Have an amazing life!
+badabing Wonderful to hear and thank you! I'm glad the tutorial was helpful.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I saw a similar video on UA-cam. But a sewer on that video didn't remove the original brown seam. She just sewed along the original hem.
ua-cam.com/video/mdkmuIrebRY/v-deo.html
Absolutely brilliant video, this is the best way of shortening jeans I have ever seen and demonstrated so expertly. Thank you.
Best jean hem video EVER EVER EVER!!!!! Thank you for this education. This is one of those videos that, like me, a seamstress, says, 'WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!!!
Wow, thank you! Such a wonderful compliment!
Thank you so much for your tutorial. I'm going to hems some jeans now :) I really appreciate your lesson!
+Paula Sydney That's the best thing to hear for me, is when people are able to use the techniques. Enjoy!
+Sewing Education Center Loved it, thank you so much
+Joy Burnham Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and hope it was helpful!

Craftmanship is everything! I have the utmost respect and admiration for people who know how to do beautiful and quality things with their hands.

@@Sewingeducationcenter you're welcome, I feel craftmanship is more important than ever nowadays. Happy holidays!
thumbs up to version 2.0 of Magic Hem
useful tips and tricks too, with the hammer
+mojoNoodlz Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
ud cambia de maquina pero muy buena tecnica
I've been doing this technique forever because I'm short but never took the original seam out to cover the cut hem and they always rolled and frayed after washing. I don't know if you'll see this comment because this video is older but I have to tell you this is a game changer for me. You are absolutely a genius. Thank you.
Hello! Yes, I do see the comments. Sometimes, it takes me a little time to reply due to my schedule. Thank you for your comment, I'm so glad this was helpful!
I'm watching all your videos now. Thank you so much for replying.
Wonderful! You can also join the Facebook community. facebook.com/sewingeducationcenter. When new videos come out, I post there. Thank you!
Thank you I'll do that :)
Thank you so much for updating this video and clarifying some questions I had. Now I can perform the task with out problems. This is wonderful.
Wonderful!
I used his excellent instructions today to hem a pair of jeans. So pleased with his thoroughness and the results! Highly recommend.
Thanks for version 2...I understand now!!!
+kmrmike Wonderful! After the feedback from version 1, I wanted to make this one w/ more detail and sharper picture quality.
Thank you for this amazing viedo because I always need fix my jeans .
Great, glad this was helpful!
Genius!!! Best original hem that I've seen so far. Thanks very much for sharing!!
Thank you Mr Hyi Lim this is the best video on Magic Hem around. I have come back to this video many times. please make more sewing videos. God bless you.
You are amazing, I might attempt this some day, I'm 4'11" so most jeans are far too long on me but I've been too scared to try and hem them myself! Mostly since most jeans have designed hens!
It's not hard I bought a singer basic sewing machine did some practice on older jeans then did all my expensive $ 200-300$ jeans you can always pull the stitch. You will never know if you can do it or not if you don't try it's ok to fail couple times how we learn this technique shown is a little more custom with the second step I'm going to be giving it a try but on my other jeans I stopped after the first step and ironed them flat which many videos show. Cheers
How cool that you are sewing on a vintage Singer!!! love vintage machines!
Me too! I love old machines, they last forever!
@@Sewingeducationcenter What model was it? I love Singer!
You're the king of the "Magic" hem. Thanks!
Thank you very much! Glad this was helpful
This is the best blue jean hem, Thank you so much for all your great advice on making it so much easier for hemming and making it look so professional.

Best way i've seen so far! I'll be doing this from now on. Amazing, thanks!

Great technique! I've stitched many jean hems over my 50 years of sewing for family amd others, and this appears to be a great way to handle jean hems! Thanks for such a great video!
Wonderful, glad to hear!

Thank you, so glad you found it helpful!
Perfect. Thank you!

Thanks a lot, you are great teacher.
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Dear Sir,
I thank you very much for this tutorial! I just used this to hem a pair of new pants that were too long and they turned out perfect with the original hem!
Best tutorial on You Tube for this technique. Love it!!
This tutorial was amazing....such great quality, and now I have a clear understanding of how to hem a pair of Jeans the correct way. Thank you so much. You have a new subscriber, now I am going to see if there is a video on hemming dress pants. :)
+markay vintageformeforever Thank you! Ahh, good question (or suggestion), hemming dress pants is a different technique. I may do a future tutorial on that if there's interest.
+Sewing Education Center yes please do one.. you've got one more subscriber btw. thank you for this. you're very knowledgeable
Thank you, I sure would love it if you would make a video on hemming mens skinny dress slacks, made of cotton. And a video on hemming jogging pants that have a twin needle seam at the bottom. I sure wish I had your knowledge of sewing.
+Roberto Tapia Thank you! I posted this suggestion the facebook.com/sewingeducationcenter page for members to vote on. If it gets enough likes I will make it the next tutorial. Be sure to add your like as well. Thank you Roberto for subscribing!
+markay vintageformeforever Thank you for the suggestion! I value suggestions from subscribers very much. I posted this on our community facebook page (facebook.com/sewingeducationcenter) and have asked community members to vote by liking the post. Be sure to add your vote to this as well. I will also consider jogging paints for a future tutorial.
Great tutorial thanks for the updated version. i will buy a new pair of jeans just to try this out. thank you. i dont have the sewing foot like yours, but i do have a foot to sew zips which looks like yours doubled(mirror image), I am sure that should work as well. Should you know which sewing foot i am talking off, you may like to advise your viewers- just a thought. thanks once gain
+Satsad satsad Wonderful! If you don't have a one-sided sewing foot for the first part of the hem process (1:09), a regular-standard sewing foot should work fine.
I was thinking the same thing about using zipper foot to get lined up close to the original hem at 2:04
Your explanation has been the only one that made it easy for me to understand. Thank you so much!
You are incredible sir, in such minute details you hv added new dimension to my sewing skill... I also hammer it n tie thread from behind n that I hv never ever seen before ... only you .... I hv seen so many UA-cam videos on sewing but nothing like yours .... flying kisses to u sir
This a great technique, wish I'd known this 30 years ago. Thank you for this helpful video.
Wonderful! Better now than never right?
Love how he sewed everything together without using pins. He used a hammer for gods sake!! That's old school! Love it.
Old school machine too!! And those scissors. WOW you really could cut your finger off. They are like hedge trimmers, lol! Love this guy!
Thank you! Glad this was helpful. Almost as good a hammer as Thor's!
Macy Flowers yes they are sharp and you have to be careful with them but excellent for cutting through heavy denim!
@@Sewingeducationcenter I would imagine! His work is brilliant!
Macy Flowers thank you so much! I appreciate the comment. I hope the tutorials are helpful. Also check out the newest video I posted last week on making your own face mask. Stay safe!
This is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen for hemming an original seam on a denim pant great job

Excellent! Very good lesson and thank you for sharing!
Laura Layton you’re welcome! Glad this was helpful.
I like this video
+helax roman Great! Thank you for the nice comment.
I don't have a machine but am interested in learning how to once I do get one. :)
That's great to hear! You don't have to get a super fancy or expensive machine to start. There are many reasonably priced ones that are really good. I do recommend looking at ones that can handle heavier fabrics if you plan to do hemming on jeans.
Buy a vintage machine, pre 1970 if you want it to sew heavy stuff. Most new machines can't handle it.
@@patg8932 Good advice!
I would love to know what you recommend. I am an average sewer but would be hemming jeans as part of my sewing.@@Sewingeducationcenter
Patricia Duvall it depends on what kind of sewing you’d like to do and your budget. I use an industrial machine but for what I teach it isn’t necessary. If you do a lot of Jean alterations look for a machine that can handle heavy denim and fabrics. Avoid the light or portable machines.
What professional, lovely workmanship!!! Thankyou for sharing your time and energy!!! Blessings to you!!!
+Clare Brown Thank you very much! I appreciate the comment.
The best sewing tutorial I've seen online -- maybe the best tutorial of any kind! There is no wasted time with useless chit-chat. Each step is explained thoroughly and the demonstration is easy to follow. Thank you!
