I've recently lost my wonderful Mum who was so talanted, especially in dressmaking. No one to shorten my jeans now. But after watching this I'm going to give it a go. Thanks 👍
I'm so sorry you lost your mother recently; please accept my condolences. I am here for the same reason. My mom passed away about two years ago and she did all my hemming and alteration work. She was an amazing seamstress despite it just being a hobby. She did everything from clothes to drapes to making the most exquisitely perfect slipcovers you've ever seen. After she passed, I then went to my grandmother for a while because she loved doing them and insisted as she didn't want me to "waste my money" on a tailor (she also did amazing work so she didn't have to insist too hard!l. She passed away about a year ago, and since then I haven't needed anything done.
Long story short, I vaguely remember how to using a sewing machine from Home Ec in middle school some 25 years ago, so I figured I'd get a cheap secondhand sewing machine from Goodwill and try my hand at it, and then I was looking up videos on how to properly hem jeans, and here I am. I wonder how many other people are here for similar reasons.
What a strange world we live in where the comments on a video about sewing a hem can bring up wonderful memories... anyways someone is cutting onions in here, so I'll leave it at that.
My mother too
Oh really very sorry for ur big lose
Allah give her high place in heaven Ameen
I m sorry😔
God bless you i sent one up for you ^
This is awesome! I’ve been sewing for years and always used pins to keep my hems in place while re-sewing them. No more! The clips are a major game changer! No more pin pricks! Thank you!!🎉
THANK YOU!!! This is the clearest, most precise video I've ever seen on this technique. I understood everything and went straight ahead and re-hemmed my jeans. Thank you again so much!
I understand that you are a bot, but you have a very beautiful name, I think I would have done everything for you, 20 years ago. Remember that you are the best thing in our life and this is worth living for, UA-cam is just a good helper. I'm a surgeon
@@sewwayWhat in the world are you talking about?
A person commented that they liked your video and said it helped them hem their jeans.
What are you going on about the person being a bot( they’re not) and talking about how you would have done everything for them twenty years ago and they are the best thing in your life?
Correct with a big “C”.
Thank you for your video. In a world driven by consumism is a wonderful thing being able to make things work and adapt them instead of throwing them out just bc theyre not ‘perfect’.
Thank you

Thank you for sharing. I'm new to sewing but I tried your method on a pair of very long sweats I just bought and this worked like a charm. Thank you!
I never thought about using this method on sweats! So glad you mentioned it!!

Just tried it.. love this!!Thanks for sharing.
Thank you SO MUCH, I was about to do this the real hard way!
This is SO helpful. Gave me the confidence to take up my denim skirt which has been annoying me for years
Thank you very much. But you're not related to Murphy in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? If not, then thank you again
If only I had known this method years ago. I am 78 but going to try it. Bless you!
Thank you so much for this awesome simple step by step video. Appreciate it VERY MUCH!
This is wonderful! Thank you so very much for sharing this! 💕 Kim
This is sooo cool! I’ve never seen this done before. Thank you!
If you sew “over the original seem thread” with the same color Jean thread you can purchase… You won’t see that seam at the bottom! I use to alter for a major Jean retailer… 😉
It's a good idea, I didn't know
What if you need to take off three inches, can you still use this same method? How to keep bottom (underside excess) from sticking out?
Very useful. Thanks heaps for the demonstration 🤩
I have been doing this for a few years. My grandson wsa chubby and always had to buy jeans that were too long in order to fit in waist. But thank goodness he is a teenager now and he needs the 29-30 inch length.
Excellently demonstrated. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the clear instructions. I have a few pairs of nearly new trousers and jeans that need taking up, and I usually struggle to make the hems look right. Your video is just what I needed.
Thanks for the kind words. If people learned to always be kind, the world would become the happiest place in the universe
What do you do if it's like a 6 inch you cut off the access? Or can I just use some double side and tape to take it up? So I can let them back out
Excellent demonstration! Thanks!
This works great. I’m actually a little proud of myself. Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you for this video. I tried it and it worked !
When watching this I thought, why _I_ could do that. Thank you!
I have seen multiple videos, but yours is the best one. It looks very simple, but I know it is not. I have two questions, 1. Which sewing machine do you recommend? 2. it should support the detach bottom part. for denim leg alteration.
You are right that just because acrobats in the circus can easily and cheerfully jump on a trampoline does not mean that it did not require years of training.
Almost all modern sewing machines have a removable table.
When choosing a sewing machine, remember that it is not the sewing machine that sews, but the person. What, did our grandmothers wear ugly clothes?
Well, one last thing. If your sewing machine does not have a removable table, you will also need to sew on the inside jeans, only the second edge will be facing you, uptowards. Well, it is like if you wanted to stitch around the edge of the pan. Place the pan on the machine and then you will understand.
Worked great! Thank you!
This is great. Thank you. Im going to try it. Can i ask what sewing foot you changed to please? ❤
It’s a zipper foot
Mulțumesc mult pentru sfaturi
Omg! Thank you so much for this video, I use to pay for someone to hem my daughter’s jeans and now I did it👏😘🤗
👏❤ congratulations
Not sure how you cut the extra material off left inside ?
@@philipwatts9033 I think it’s left there.
@@djangle67 ok so it’s ends up a bit thicker.
Thanks
Wow - this is so effective, and so simple and quick! I LOVE it :) Now I am going to shorten 2 pairs of my yoga pants! Thank you very much!~
Thank you

Thank you so much you’re a lifesaver 💖
Love the music!
Thank you for this video,just did my son's trousers. Thank you ,good day
This one the best compare to other method i hope my tailor in my place know how to do this
Thanks, he knows
Great job 👍 Happy New Year
Thank you so much it's a great guidance ♥️♥️♥️✨✨✨✨
Very very informative video 👍
Thank you for doing this video
Thank you
What foot did you use on the sewing machine? What is the reason for changing the foot?
Zipper foot. The stitching line will be as close as possible to the hem stitching line.
Have you ever used this with other fabrics? I'm wondering if it would work for jersey (I'm going to turn a long sleeved dress into short sleeves)
The measurement of the wrist is much smaller than the circumference of the arm above the elbow. So no, it won't work.
After your wash the jeans you start to see the seam inside and look not to good, eliminate the xtra fabric and put inside the seem then you topstitching whit the write color trend
Great tip! Thanks
Thanks
Lot's tnks I learned a lots may God bless your wrks
Thank you
What setting did you have the thread on?
Normal setting
So this method will keep the jeans original chain stitch and help create the roping fade effect. And will also keep the original leg opening size?
The first question is yes.
Secondly, this method will also preserve the original size of the opening of the leg in the event that the jeans do not have a strong narrowing of the leg to the bottom.
Best and fastest I've seen , bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐
It's always nice to hear this from real men who know how to appreciate the work of a woman.
Awesome...can you please tell the machine brand for jeans needle and settled which you have changed...
what is the name of the foot attachment used in the video?
I've done that for my husband, but I found that the jeans roll up . good thing they are only for working on the farm. I cut the excess off because it was to long.

Hello, I was wondering what presser foot you used?
Zipper Presser Foot
@@sewway Thank you. That is what I thought it was but I always like to check to make sure that I have it right.
This is how I wanted to learn
Try it on old jeans first
Miss, here the inside folded part is equal in length to the hem length which is enabling it to hide underneath (1.5+1.5=3), please show what to do incases where the inside folded part is larger than the hem part as it will stick out from below the hem
In this case, you need to cut off the excess fabric and process the cut with an overlock or zigzag, in extreme cases - manually.
@sewway I don't have a sewing machine and I don't understand what process the cut with an over lock or zigzag mean, can you explain more?
Love the track! 😅
What a great skill set and you keep the original length if ever needed. Can you do mine?
I can only show, I can't do.
@@sewway 🙂🙂
Excellent.
Complete beginner...what foot do you use?
Can it still be done if my jeans are about 6 inches too long?
Can this be done with out a sewing machine?
What if I don't have the foot for my machine that you showed?
Love from my heart
Excelente ese ruedo me gusto
Gracias
can i do this without changing the foot?
Great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you
Nice video. I Cut my 501. Looks original. Thank you..👍
Excellent ❤
What about hiding excess fabric then undoing it later? For a growing boy?
There will be a seam mark on the denim. If this is not important, you can do the same and attach the excess fabric manually inside the leg.
I’m new to seeing what foot is that?
yes going to try it
Try it, but it's better not to cut too much if it's jeans for a child. Our kids grow up fast but jeans don't grow
Wow,... Ini metode baru, terimakasih.
Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing idea
Thank you
Se conseguir costurar mais perto da mistura original ,fica ainda melhor.
Excellent
Excellent!
Thank you, it is so important to have at least a little positive in our difficult life
Which mechine are u using
Nice!
Seems to work if you need a small hem. What if I need a 5 inch hem?
Cut off excess and close seam allowance with overlock or zigzag stitch.
Get new pants
Never overlock on Jeans. It will break the machine
Any issues with the hem wanting roll up and exposing the seam?
ua-cam.com/video/P02Mne95-s8/v-deo.html
I will try this today. I wish you would have spoken throughout the video.
My mother be cutting them off. Gonna show her this 😂 👍.
I just turned my jeans into shorts help
is the presser foot style called something special? would have to purchase that....
presser foot for zipper
How do you do it if you want to cuff your jeans on occasion?
This will flip up the next time it is washed and will always want to fold outward at the seam. You could use iron on tape to keep the fold upright perhaps.
Can you cut off the excess on the inside? I have to shorten jeans aprox 4 inches.
you make great videos👌👌👌👌
Thank you
Mind blown. Did you see or skip over the super thick part?
You are very attentive. This is the most difficult area, we have a video on the channel how to do it.
What if the pants are really long and they’re more than 3 inches long and I do this to the hem, am I able to cut the extra coverage on the inside?
Yes, you can cut and overlock the cut edges. But, if these are children's jeans, then it is better to put the excess up and baste it inside with threads. Children grow up fast
جميل جدا شكرا🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank
Beautiful !
Brilliant🎉
Terimakasih informasinya
But what do you do with the excess material? You certainly can’t leave it there if you hem like 2 inches??
Super 👌👍
Has anyone surged the extra fabric off and if so did you have good results?
Nice thanks for sharing. New subscriber
Thank
Also, am I understanding correctly, whatever amount I want to hem, I just halve that and sew it up against the original hem?
Yes, that is right. If these are children's jeans, then you can take everything off when the child grows up. You can also use a regular foot, but usually a zipper foot is included in a set of sewing feet. You can take the foot from a friend
1:01 What are those things called? My mom has sewing machine but I believe she doesn't have any other types of those things aside from the original ones
Included with any sewing machine. It's called a zipper foot.
Would this work for linen pants as well?
Have not tried. But I think it will work. Just keep in mind that the fabric should be dark. On light, a fake hem will be noticeable.
Do I need a special needle for denim. Thank you
Yes, denim requires a heavier gauge needle such as 90 (14) or 100 (16). These can be found at fabric and sewing supply stores.
So when can I bring mine over for you to do 👍😂👍
Hello ,great!
Can you please tell me what is the name and model of your machine ?
No I can't, she's so old I forgot her name
@@sewway ok thanks anyway for reply me , good work 👍
