[@cindyfoley6904]

Such a clever way to do this! My daughter bought bunch of jeans for her kids at a community wide garage sale and asked me to hem some without cutting them off. So when I found this video, I was thrilled! It works great….just like magic!

[@MadeByApril]

Thank You so much !

[@MadeByApril]

No problem!!

You can’t fool us, it’s magic!

[@steph8016]

I just did this to some bootcut jeans and they came out perfect. I wasn’t sure they would look ok at first since they’re wider at the ends but I just shortened them an inch that’s probably why it didn’t bunch up.

[@MadeByApril]

Glad it worked ! I'm happy for you ❤❤❤

[@dimitraroutsia4003]

Fantastic!!!!! Thanks so much!i can finally shorten my daughters jeans❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MadeByApril]

Happy to help! ❤

[@theenabernardo9570]

Thanks. I was able to fix the hem of my jeans the way I want and not what the seamstress’. What she did was to fold up the pants without sewing and then iron it.

[@familycreate]

That is amazing! I'm going to try that today on my daughter's jeans. Btw the chain stich I learnt at school but never seen the disappearing method - beautifully done. Many thanks 👍

[@MadeByApril]

You are so welcome ! ❤

This is extremely useful! Thank you! 💕💕 Me and my grandma are practicing now.

I have a extremely long denim skirt that has really cook washing at the end(I cannot wear it unless I wear 6inch heels….) The tailor said it will be extra cost to save the hem and said he cannot guarantee the look. I should tru this….

April, this is so brilliant, but what would be about the maximum inches to shorten using this clever hack!!!~❤

[@MadeByApril]

Thank you so much, ❤ ( around 4 inches )

[@paolatownsend9319]

What kind of fabulous sorcery is this?!!! 🙌🏽😲🙌🏽

[@cake3020]

could you do a video showing how you did this without cutting the video in between each stitching?

[@nottechytutorials]

What was that magical sewing technique you did the first time to sew down the fold? You just looped it around and then the loops disappeared but underneath looks like a regular running stitch? I'm amazed. I really should learn more stitches.

[@MadeByApril]

Thank you..It is actually just a regular running stitch :D

[@nottechytutorials]

@@MadeByApril Wow, its a pretty neat trick tho. And thanks for the reply!

[@2u43]

I’m a guy and non sower so forgive my question if it is stupid but with the first demo do you complete each side of the pant leg separately. That is to say complete one side and finish it then do the other side. Thank you.

[@MadeByApril]

Hello...Just like you said.."complete one side and finish it then do the other side"..That's exactly what I did.

[@2u43]

@@MadeByApril Thank you!

[@vivalasvegasimcic]

Silly question but how long was the thread you used to do your pants for this video? I got the concept down but then I ran out of thread!

[@mariasmith9998]

Love the video thank you for sharing. I have a question? What would be the best way for me to hem a pair of jeans. If i have to cut off 4 inches of fabric?

[@MadeByApril]

Thank you so much..Well..It depends on you..If you're a beginner , maybe you should try to shorten your jeans without cutting , just in case...but If you really want to have a better finish, then you can try this way... = kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6nEY5uwit9shJI

It's easier to sew by section at a time and tighten..

Does this work only on jeans? I want to use this method on other softer material, will it tear?

[@MadeByApril]

Nope, not only on jeans, you can use this method on other fabrics as well .❤

Yes, It should still work...

I think that could be difficult, because the width of the upper part of the leg and that of the end of the leg could be different.
