    Thank You….I have grandkids that love to frequent high end second hand or thrift stores for treasures ! Then they need grandma to help them fix, hem, take in, let out, remove sleeves and collars, whatever it takes to make that treasure work! This will be so helpful!

    I have a daughter who was very, very tall and very thin when she was young. She would grow too tall for her jeans long before she outgrew them width-wise. I used to do the same thing to pants so she could continue to use them. Sometimes I put a print fabric insert she liked between tthe leg and bottom hem piece. It was a great money saver, and her pants fit her well.

    Love that you used the decorative stitches on your machine down at the hem and added it to the pocket also! Thanks for sharing this idea!

    thinking of lengthening much higher on the leg as the jeans are torn at the knees and i think seams would look cool there

    Usually need to shorten by 7inches. That’s a challenge especially if flares out at bottom

    You repeated the same thing in your opening so many times I almost closed your video and moved on. Once you finally got to the point I enjoyed your video, thank you.
