[@wiifrank]

[@verom8657]

I see you are now 45. Have you made a clothing item yet😂?

I want to thank you. A few years ago I moved away from my home town. My mother used to do all my hemming for me, but as I no longer live near her, I decided to take on the task myself. Watching your video has shown me exactly what I need to do to hem my new pants that I got for Christmas..

[@soundcog]

Thank you! A very well made tutorial that has given me the courage to try this. I am short so every pair of pants I buy have to be hemmed and I am tired of paying someone and am ready to give it a go myself.

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

All the best! You can do it!

ditto brother!

I have a job interview tomorrow, and I need to shorten navy slacks because stores only carry lengths that are far too long or short. This video had the most clear instructions for the invisible hem. THANK YOU!

[@Rustvaar]

I've never sewn before and always felt useless when a hem needed fixing. I know if I asked my aunt to show me how she'd do the job for me which I appreciate her doing, but it shouldn't be her job! Now I can show her my new skill and she'll be proud. Thank you for your video.

[@Laithius]

Wish they taught me this in high school. Amazing job on describing every step you made!

[@moodigirl]

They did at my high school but I thought I was too good and too modern to need to learn it...so here I am!

They are too busy confusing the genders to teach useful skills. I learned to type,drive and do my own car maintenance in high school, life skills come in handy.

[@blurocktech]

This video helped me learn to hem pants for the first time. Thank you for posting it! For future vids, I’d recommend a bit more close ups and lighting because some of your work was a bit hard to see. Luckily your verbal instructions were clear so I caught on fast. Also, a similar video on hemming suit sleeves would be a lifesaver!

[@sheilasweeney1479]

I had trouble seeing too. I’m glad it wasn’t just me. Thought mb I was losing my eyesight 😬😳

[@captaingreghoodtarpoons.co9184]

Thank you so much. Getting married and wanted to make this a surprise. Care about looking good on the best day of my life. If you want something done right. Then do it yourself!

[@popsicIes]

Congrats!

[@emerald613]

I have been trying to hym pants for 40 years .i have had many people try to teach me ... I’m so excited,this is the first time I did it !, Thank u so much

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Crystal Dean so happy to be able to help 😀

[@parichehrkhodadadpour4448]

More than 40 years I have done hem stich when my mother and my sister was alive watching and teaching today my daughter gave her pants to do hem I was thinking since a week how to make lucky I found you teaching great help thank you so much ❤️ ❤

[@apbslc]

This was so helpful! I'm left-handed and it was great to find a video by someone doing things the left handed way.

[@ClonmanyGenealogy]

Excellent tutorial - so easy to follow. I needed a refresher since I last hemmed by hand over thirty years ago. So glad I found your video. Thank you!

[@TheKiaraLady]

I feel like a struck gold finding a tutorial video done by a fellow lefty!

[@kuya5000]

lefty as well trying to hem my pants. YEEES

[@dylangruss7300]

Me too

[@vurcease]

Same here! I wouldn't even have thought to search for a lefty video for this, either. Hooray!

[@bethelakinyemi6978]

That one eighty in the lefties section **troll face**

[@gregorialaniyo6498]

Wow!! is this heming? Of course5👍

[@kellyohara806]

Thank you so much! You are really gifted at teaching clearly. The hem had come out of one pant leg on my black dress slacks. I was able to follow along with you, and now my husband and I can't tell which pant leg was fixed. I am so grateful that you share your knowledge with us!

[@azi69s]

Did my first ever cut and hem today thanks to your video. So detailed in explanation. If a 40 year old bloke can do it then anyone can. Thanks again legend

[@lindsaydunlap7220]

Thank you. I've been trying to remain calm while sewing for years and this is the first video that has worked, was easy to follow and didn't make me want to shred my pants.

[@hannahzhou7537]

I failed to remain calm...

[@SarahBrillhart0415]

I have a son in Scouts and need to hem his pants tomorrow. The one person in my world that would have been able to teach me how was my Mother-in-law but I lost her in October. I am confident I'll be okay with your video! Thank You!

[@edithdoesart4477]

Thanks! Usually i buy pants that fit me but are way too long, so this really helps!

[@egorimus8556]

Much like so many people on here, I needed to learn how to hem my pants over a weekend before a funeral, and this video was so easy to understand and helpful. Thank you!

[@MrWarfist]

My mother taught me this exactly the way you do it back in 1983. Thank you for this reminder and the memories that came along with watching. God Bless You!❤️

[@puraroldan]

Thank you! I had forgotten how to hem and this video brought it all back! Perfect!

[@regisnyder]

I’ve never knew what to do with the thread tail when finished! Thank you for showing!

[@andrewdines5673]

Just had to comment to say thank you for this video, had no sewing experience but decided to have a go and your video helped a lot, did it first time and it's all thanks to your video, brilliant life skill :0)

[@JohnnyApp1eseed]

Just hemmed my wife’s pants. Worked perfect. Ive been hemming wrong my whole life, always going all the way thru ☺️ it did the job but wasn’t aesthetically pleasing. always wondered how to hem with no seem. Now I know! 😃 thanks 😊

[@david_4739]

Thank you - I've got to take some clothes to the funeral home tomorrow for my dad and realised the trouser leg has come undone so I'm going to have a go at sewing it up and this helped.

[@aljones75]

Very clear and straightforward instructions, I’m a crocheter but never done much sewing, think I should be able to manage it, here goes!

[@amarok5048]

It's been over 20 years since I turned up a my own trousers (I'm a man) but this is exactly what my mother taught me. I'm going to go back to hemming my own clothes because in the UK in 2018, it costs me £8 to have a newly purchased jeans turned up. Thank you

[@szmskib4]

Thank you 🙏 this was a great help for doing my son’s trousers for school.

[@silquirino9236]

Would’ve liked that material was white and thread any color that is bright for tutorial purpose. Enjoyed video.

[@bryanpittenger3052]

Very good tutorial. It was very helpful when trying to teach my daughter who is away at college to hem her band uniform on her own. I love that I was able to share my screen while FaceTiming her! Thank you.

[@mdargusch]

As a scout leader and father of two scouts with LOTS of patches and new uniforms periodically, we really appreciate your channel.

Thank you for being leftie like me ❤ I found my new helper today.

[@saraalhariri2732]

This was honestly perfect! I used a hair straightener instead of an iron just because I'm lazy and it still turned out amazing!

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Sara Alhariri oh awesome! I also use a hair straightener on the collars on some of my shirts 🤫🤣

[@yardrail3432]

Well Done! A long lasting secure hem is achieved. Thanks for sharing.

[@patriciagumina543]

Ty for your great video! You explained everything so well and the demonstration was especially helpful since I’m also left handed. I can’t believe I actually hemmed my new pants and they look great!

[@em1598]

i saw this video a year ago and since then i’ve hemmed 4 pants on my own. this was such a huge help !

[@meowzombie1987]

Awesome! I recently bought 10 dress pants for 1.40 per pop and they were unfortunately too long but had the right waist size. After watching your video and hemming my pants, they were as good as new. Probably even better than ones I use to buy in department stores.

[@LiteskynFro]

This was the perfect tutorial. Just what I needed.

[@mariediaz5438]

Great Video! You don't know how much you helped me. I just finished hemming my daughters pants and thanks to your video they came out perfect. You saved her alot of money. Thank you!

Thank you so much for kindly having posted this very helpful tutorial. It was really clear and easy to follow, and my dad is still in shock as to how I actually managed to shorten his pyjama bottoms so well, despite never having altered a single piece of clothing in my entire life(!) A huge thank you once again for your help, it really is greatly appreciated :)

[@StephEHawk]

Thank you for this! I was so afraid to hem my sons tux slacks, but I followed you step by step and they turned out great! Thanks for an easy to follow how to! I am a fan!

[@jesse1001]

I’m trying to recycle my clothes to get new pieces out of them rather than throw them out and spend money buying more. I literally spend twenty minutes searching KZbin for videos on how to sew a hem before I found this! Every other video moves too quickly and bombards you with fancy techniques. One view of this and I hemmed all my clothes! Thanks so much!

[@andreahalmai8297]

Thank you so much! I'm gonna do it tomorrow, I need the trousers urgently, you probably saved my life!

[@MsBaby1959]

Thanks so much, your tutorial was of great help :). I just finished hand hemming my favourite jeans, I used glue for fabric last time but after a few washes it just wore off, now I'm good for a whole :D

[@carmelappleblossom6874]

the best video out there on hemming pants!!! the top shelf video of videos the rolls royce!!!! hands down

[@TheSpidey1969]

Needed to hem up some grey dress pants that the hem had come out of. Watched your knot tying video - something I never got right and then got down to business. Catching the one or two threads is the key! Did it with white thread and nothing came through. My wife was impressed with my work. Thanks for the informative video. And I have to add: as a left-hander, seeing the work done by a lefty made it soooo much easier! Thanks again!

[@RohrerArabians]

Thank goodness you're a lefty. I've not done a hand sewen hem since 4H. That's 50 years! Very nice refresher and beginning tutorial. My only suggestion is when beginning one tends to pull to tight and work tends to shift. You'll get pricked but more pins by the hem edge. Happy sewing. Hand sewing is a lost craft.

[@aprillempkacruz]

Thank you, thank you!!! I will be hemming my dads pants for a wedding tomorrow and am overjoyed i found you! You make it look so simple, I'm really glad you're on KZbin!

[@prov2.3-5]

Great tutorial and your voice is super soothing

[@lindamcneely]

thank you so much for this video. my great grandsons have a wedding to go too and wanted me to hem their pants. I have hemmed some pants before but never been completely happy with the results. after watching your video I know that these will work out great! thank you so much!

[@beatrizcaraballo7564]

Thank you so much for this! I had no idea how to achieve that kind of invisible stitching to hem a pant. I followed your tutorial to a T and it worked out perfectly!

[@bienjour]

This is very helpful and you included easy to follow instructions. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. My fiance starts his new job as a bus driver tomorrow and over the past few weeks we couldn't find one place that would be able to get this done in time. I guess because of covid? Anyway, I've done this before but it's been many years, thank you again for this posting this. You are a life saver!

I finally got my son 2 suits from my favorite men store, but th pants are not hemmed at all. I've been sewing about 1yr but I wanted to be on point for these special suits. This video helped me so much and the suits turned out perfect. My son was happy💜

Clear and useful instruction. Thank you.

[@RouletteRider]

Just watched this in a panic. I have a speech due in two days and I want to dress all fancy and honestly, I’ve just procrastinated on getting my pants for this suit hemmed. I don’t wanna go out and buy a sewing machine and it’s Sunday so all the tailor shops are closed and I’ve have to pay more money to get same day hemming done (if they allow it). I’m going to take a try at this, the way you explain it detail for detail and slow and in a way I can understand gave me a bit of confidence that I who last sewn anything was in kindergarten, can do it again on actual clothes and not mess it up. Thank you so much for posting this video.
