Very nice job! I've been thinking about how to do this for 20 years, but I've never gotten around to actually doing or trying anything to hem my leans this way, but you've done it perfectly! Thank you!

Bought a new pair today - Now I don’t have to worry about the Jean length, because I can just hem them like this 😁

[@MadeByApril]

You are so welcome .. :D

[@heathersalazar6873]

I just hemmed my husbands jeans and they look AMAZING but my question is what about the portion that is now tucked inside? I think I should place a few stitches around so they will remain up through washings. Anyone agree?

[@nnieves51]

I was thinking the same thing

[@tranhau3818]

I think we can cut it off. Is it ok?

[@michaelrmcornejo]

I think cut them off, then apply a denim patch over it so that it doesn’t fray and rip off over time.

[@nancymetcalf3808]

That looks so much better, I'm wondering if that could be done by a sewing machine, to make sure the seam stays In..?

Yes you can use a sewing machine...

Great idea and admire your creativity! But. This extra thickness will wear and narrow the leg opening considerably.Worth the extra time to cut and hand sew. Get the right color thread and take your time. Worth it :)

I do this trick on jeans very often but without any sewing. And this trick easly stand a whole day. Perosnally dont like hem jeans besaue the leg opening chanege and overall shape of the leg opening. Without hem you have more options like cuffing them or or adjust the length according to the shoes

You also need to hem the excess fabric sticking out, or else it will fall out as you wear it

And cut it… otherwise feel too thick?🤷‍♀️

can this be done on pants with a more flimsy fabric or does the fabric have to be sturdier like in jean material in order to keep the shape?

What's the style of stitch you do

It's called backstitch

[@stbalabis]

will it make my pants wider at the bottom, or will it still retain its shape?

[@MadeByApril]

The bottom will be a little bit wider than the original.

Why not to cut out the inside extra material ?

You can cut it off if you are already happy with the result..

[@marylouiscustodio54]

What if the jeans is really long? Its gonna be bulky at the bottom..

[@MadeByApril]

If its the case, then you might need to cut it...

I have a question will it get a little wider from bottom after this ? I am getting this problem only bcz it doesn't look good. Can anyone help me with this ?

[@MadeByApril]

It depends on the shape of your Jeans...On this video I used Stretchy skinny jeans, so the bottom hem is even much narrow or tighter after .

[@Val-le6fj]

can this also work for dress pants?

[@MadeByApril]

I'm not sure...I think for a dress pants,it would be better if you cut off the excess("making sure to leave enough room to fold halfway to the desired hem length") and hand sew an invisible stitch.

[@荒神丸]

good idea

[@MadeByApril]

Many many thanks

[@nualamcgowan5842]

I have done this before but on a straight leg they just don’t look good .
