    You are the only person I found that tucks the hem up into the original hem like I wanted to do! Everyone else does the lazy way where then you can't cuff the pant leg up because there is an alteration mark showing. So thanks 😊

    • @LydiaNaomi
      @LydiaNaomi  2 роки тому +1

      Oh really? Yeah I have done it before without concealing the raw edges but I was always so self conscious about it potentially flipping up ahaha. I think most tailors conceal it this way too, it wasn't my idea :)

      I am so glad it was helpful Natalie, the first method is a common technique that is rarely taught, I will not lay claim to its geniusness!

    Interesting video.
    Growing up we were very poor and we were 7 siblings so a lot of hand-me-downs especially pants so a lot of times the pant legs were above the ankles and we would all laugh and tease each other with the phrase "Where's the flood"?
    Amazing how in a little over 60 years
    what was a sign of poverty is now fashionable. I guess people have taken grunge and slimming to a new level.
    Of course even today I smile and laugh and ask "Where's the flood"
