HAND SEWING a Jeans Hem - Keeping the Original Hem!

[@michaelcarlito3399]

You are a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your talents. I'm a 73 year old male and after I finish my morning cup of coffee, I'm going to sew my jeans. Thank you and Bless you.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you for the kind words! 🥰

[@estherhurst9269]

my jaw DROPPED when you put the stitches in the same direction as the WEAVE of the denim. That's such a skillful detail, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! beautiful mend :)

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰 Glad you like it!

[@StephenBlacktampa]

At 53 years old I finally learned how to hem my jeans. Thank you very much for the great video and help.

[@DowntownTailoring]

You are so welcome! 🥰

[@sharontuckerlewis7325]

I have been sewing for 60 years, but learned new tricks today. Thank you!

[@lunava5489]

I'm not a tailor and this is how i've been sewing the hems of my jeans in the past 3 years. Glad to know I was doing it the right way ☺️

[@brandnewashes5409]

Where have you been all my life!? Thank you, Miss Downtown Tailoring!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 😊

[@Teletempo66]

Thank you , I get lost in people over complicating things and loose interest. You have a wonderful way of thoroughly explaining while not to make as dry as burnt toast. After watching your video I’m going to give it a go . Thank you again , appreciate

The best sewing teacher on KZbin.

[@DowntownTailoring]

🥰🥰🥰 thanks for your kindness!

[@donnamallard1962]

Perfection!! I'm going to use this on 2 new pairs of jeans that just need a little hem adjustment. I was going to do it by the machine, but I hate having to get it out, find thread, wind the bobbin with that color, etc.! This is exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

My pleasure 🥰 Thanks for watching 🥰

[@lorebeth]

Genius! You’re a natural teacher as well as seamstress. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Wow, thank you! 🤗

[@helengarland9079]

I've been sewing for year's now practically self taught .Also alteration's on the side including lot's of hemming mostly Jean's,i have at the moment a pair of my own white Jean's that i want taking up so i'm very thankful i came across your video ,a game changer for sure .Thank you so much .😁💖

[@DowntownTailoring]

My pleasure! 🥰 Thanks for watching!

[@phuocpham69]

I would have gotten straight As in school if my teachers were as clear and easy to understand as you! Thank you very much for the great video. I can definitely tell you know your stuff and are very passionate about it.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you for being a part of our community and for leaving such a positive comment! Your support keeps me motivated to continue creating content 😊

[@shirleysenkler781]

Thank you for the clear, easy instructions. Some jeans colors I want don't come in a short length, now I can buy them and hem them up myself without losing the look of the original stitching.

[@MichellePolzin]

Me too!

[@MichellePolzin]

That was the best video and audio instruction for hemming jeans that I’ve ever seen. I do have a sewing machine, and now that I have seen how it works by hand, it will be easier to do by machine. I will do the first part by machine and the second part by hand.

[@saraanrude9397]

This an amazing video, you are a gem , thank you very much indeed. Just what I needed to hem my husbands jeans, the cost of having this done by the tailor cost more than the jeans ! Now I've saved your videos forever to help with all heming of trousers. I wish I'd had this knowledge when my sons were at school, still better late thsn never. In England we call that a- Thimble , which is used for hand sitching . I really appreciate you , with very best wishes from London, England 🌹

[@DowntownTailoring]

I’m so glad you like this video! Thanks you 🥰🥰🥰

[@jacquelinepaddock7535]

Thanks for the clear instructions, I don't understand why some people want to make it seem so complicated! 🙄

I believe it's so we can't think for ourselves and need to rely on the sinister system to look after us.

[@scammisue2650]

Don't you mean "seam" so complicated? 😁😂... it's ok, I'll show myself out...😅

[@winniedesoto4716]

Instructions were very clear 😂. Thank goodness 😊

[@lynnettegoldberg3908]

Thank you so much for your easy to follow direction! My jeans are hemmed and they look just like they did before I hemmed them! You are an excellent teacher.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much! I’m glad to hear 🥰

[@ritahall48]

Loved this tip on hand sewing hems! My daughter's bf wanted me to fix his jeans I have 3 sewing machines but need to do these by hand because I have some disabilities. I think I can do this! THANK YOU!!!

Wonderful! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@andrealeeson6981]

So easy once I knew how. Clear instructions, so grateful for this video.

Thank you, in the time you did the whole hem I got three stitches done but Im on my way to finally wearing these jeans.!

[@DowntownTailoring]

You got this! 🥰

[@TracyNevin-k7d]

I was so charmed by your positive presentation! I can do this! We don't always have a sewing machine near. This is going to be so helpful. Thank you!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much! You are so kind 💕

[@berniecelee5062]

Yep! Totally agree !! Lol . She is spunky, energetic, great personality and wow …so knowledgeable. Always enjoy watching her in action. I would never be able to do what she does to adjust , change and give your current wardrobe a new “life “ . I just don’t have the confidence yet with adjusting clothes. But but but , I will try the smaller projects on inexpensive clothes to build some competency over time.

[@littlecravings]

This is such a practical video! Full of tips!

[@dan5660]

Thanks for this! Yes to shorten Jeans or create shorts from an old pair. Never learned to use a sewing machine but willing to sew by hand for occasional work. FYI: the shiny metal thing is a "thimble"- used to protect your fingers/thumbs from getting pricked!

Thanks for this tip! I hate losing that original jeans hem - love this tip!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Glad you liked it! 🥰

@@DowntownTailoring I'm working on two pairs of flared jeans so it's a wide leg hem...It's tedious but I'm looking forward to the results! Thanks again!

[@DowntownTailoring]

@@denisen.wagstaff7938 keep in mind that this method might not work for flare jeans if you need to shorten them too much as the original hem might be to wide to be placed on the new position. Cheers

[@denisen.wagstaff7938]

@@DowntownTailoring Yes, I was concerned about that but I only needed to take up 1/2" and I think they came out really well! It took me all day for two pairs but I did them - thanks to your great instructions and video! Thanks again!!

[@bsamuelson7050]

I did it! But,I used my machine for the first part. Thank you so much. You did a great job showing how and saved me some money!

Amazing! First time hemming up jeans. I usually take them to the tailors but I didn’t have time to wait, so gave it a go and I can’t believe I did it! Thank you for the easy peasy instructions! If I have time, I’ll definitely be doing the hems myself ☺️

[@cw5721]

Very creative and I agree with others. You give great instructions!

[@rsunamita8667]

Perfect explanation thank you. The little thing you put on your finger is called thimble

[@amykathleen2]

I have a video request - since we are going into the holiday season, I would love to see you do an alteration on sequin or beaded material. How do you secure it so it doesn’t all unravel when you cut? What do you do when you take it to the machine so it doesn’t break the needle or get stuck in the feed dogs? How do you manage the bulk in a hem or seam? Beads and sequins are so intimidating that so far I haven’t tried.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes. But I'm afraid I won't be able to have it on time as I need to record it and edit it. Anyways, I did record a short that I can post with one trick or two at the end of this week. Stay tuned 😉

[@sophiemercedes1]
