🔴Slim Your Summer Shorts In 2 Minutes!🔴- kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3_adKyVqbV1iNU

[@danielmenjivar]

Nice video! Probably worth mentioning that if you use this method, you actually need to measure ½ the amount you want to trim. In your example, if you measure 2”, you’ll be trimming 4” off with the fold. Also, for those with a zipper foot, use a zipper foot instead to get closer to the original hem; and in the absence of a hump jumper, folded fabric under the back of the presser foot works just as well (so you don’t have to raise the presser foot and lose thread tension). Keep ‘em coming!

[@StylishDTailors]

Yup, that's why I mentioned that the factory hem was a half inch, meaning I would have only taken off an inch and a half if I measured from the bottom.

[@Mike_Thompson]

@@StylishDTailors huh? No, he was talking about the fold not the factory hem. If you take off 2 in of folded fabric you're actually taking off 4 in from the total length of your jeans. Anyways, thanks for the video.

[@StylishDTailors]

Derp, I cant read…my bad!

[@Thomas-vh9th]

One year ago, I found your video and hemmed my jeans. Since then, I have followed your video two more times and today, a third time. It's the best video for hemming jeans. Thanks!

[@StylishDTailors]

That's AWESOME!! So glad to hear you gave it a shot!

[@itsmesteve1081]

Im 5'2 so its really hard to find a jean in both the mens aisle and boys aisle. Apparently, anything from 5' to 5'4 just simply doesn't exist. It's so annoying

[@Tanmay_0911]

Same problem with mee

[@vbate103]

Terrific tutorial! I am only 5ft. tall and must hem every pair of pants that I buy even if they say ‘petite’. I have a very old sewing machine which doesn’t have the piece that’s removable, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to sew them on the machine. So I sewed them by hand, which did not take very long and they came out perfectly! Wish I had seen this video sooner, then all of my other jeans would look so much better. TY!

[@StylishDTailors]

Glad it was helpful! That's awesome you were still able to accomplish it by hand!

[@bandekartsllc]

Your video gives me the confidence to hem jeans. I am very, very new to sewing. Hubby gave me a sewing machine for my birthday so I could hem his jeans. Really liked the close up shots. Especially the shot showing you pulling the pins out as you sew - duhhhhh I was sticking myself as I was feeding the material. Now I know to remove the pins as I sew the seam. I'll be back for more videos. Thanks.

[@oniciamuller]

Happy Memorial Day, SD! I tailored some joggers that were too long and wide in the inside seam following your 'sweatpants to jogger' and 'how to hem jeans' tutorials. Found you way back in 2020. Thankful I was finally able to put your teachings to use. This project took less than an hour. I'd rate my final results 7/10. And that's super high because I'm very new to sewing and I'm sometimes sloppy because I'm impatient. ❤❤

[@viazel2796]

Nice! I have not touched anything sewing or otherwise in years! This was delightful 💞! I use to visit the mill every weekend for beautiful fabrics ❤! Thank you 👑

[@scottland906]

dude. i did it. i actually tailored a pair of jeans…. myself. thank you! i feel so much more confident in these. and i am an awkward weight/height so finding perfect jeans is always impossible.

[@StylishDTailors]

Great job! Now let the tailoring binges begin!!!

[@joykauffman9238]

re: getting over the hump - if you raise your zipper foot, make sure your needle is down through the fabric; otherwise you will lose your "place". Also, I had better luck getting close to the factory hem using a straight stitch. Thanks !

[@StylishDTailors]

Also be careful because when you raise your presser foot you loose your stitch tension.

[@inyobill]

Clear, no baloney, fun to listen to. Well played, mate.

[@StylishDTailors]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@largemarge5944]

I love your fast, but complete, instructions. Going to try hemming a pair of jeans now.

Hey SD. I've been tailoring my clothes for years because of long torso, arm, neck, short legs and flat… you get it. I’d love to see you branch out and include making us odd body men be able to look as good as you do.

[@StylishDTailors]

For sure man, I definitely need to branch out more and be more creative! It’s gonna be a fun summer!

[@44xxggaaj]

You have great tutorials ! Honestly I never thought I'd ever be so interested in sewing till I stumbled onto a video of yours and now I just keep watching different vids and looking for things to alter , thx ! Maybe you could post how to replace the elastic on basketball shorts cause I have a few faves I'd like to keep !

[@StylishDTailors]

Thanks for the kind words! Replacing the elastic you say…that sounds like fun…hmm…

[@Thomas-vh9th]

Recently bought same exact size Levi's that I bought a year ago. Legs were 2 inches longer than old jeans. Go figure, Levi Strauss. Used your method and my new jeans are exactly like the old ones. THANK YOU!

So awesome, glad it worked out for you!

[@paulbrzeski4237]

You are a legend and a scholar. This is exactly the video men need. Thank you sir.

[@xjunkxyrdxdog89]

This will work if youre only trimming an inch or two, but almost all modern cuts have some degree of taper towards the ankle meaning that the more you remove, the more mismatch there will be between the leg and the cuff.

[@kingab6865]

Finally something for "dummies". I just want to do this quickly and efficiently. Great video. Thanks!

[@StylishDTailors]

Glad it helped!

[@ElAssoWipo]

I think before looks better but still appreciate the work you've done for the video =)

[@MaeveTremayne]

SD, I am curious if you could make a video about using measurements for tailoring clothes? I dont know if you have one already but if I measured myself, or had a tailor give me my measurements, wouldnt this make tailoring my clothes quicker because I can make them match the measurements each time without having to put them on each time first? I appreciate all of your videos and your energetic personality!

[@StylishDTailors]

That's a great idea, I made one awhile ago but it isn't very good so I'll remake it!

[@mclenachan]

Just discovered your channel and I love it! Now I have to watch them all.

[@StylishDTailors]

LET THE BINGE TAILORING COMMENCE!

[@tsuchan]

But I thin the 'Before' is better. If jeans/trousers are the exact right length when you're standing-up, they pull-up over your ankles when you sit-down, and look silly. As well as that, the visual effect of "Before" is cool compared to "After" which is boring.

[@StylishDTailors]

Valid opinion!

[@The_alpha_king]

Strongly agree

[@BigT962]

This gave me the confidence to try it. Mine didn't turn out perfect (mistakes were made lol). But it turned out quite well for my first hemming. Thanks!!

[@StylishDTailors]

Awesome to hear you made the attempt!!

[@TheFunctionalForce]

Just WOW! However, my jeans are quite tapered so when I sew the hem up the leg, it ends up with a gathered effect, if you know what I mean, since the hem is narrower than the new position on the leg. Had to unpick the sewing. What to do here? Thank you!!!

[@StylishDTailors]

I would suggest creating a new hem in that situation actually!

[@NLianes]

I needed this 15 years ago 😊

[@cadeloven5579]

Love your channel! Have you ever considered tailoringing a game jersey (football)? I always love the way they fit except the billowy shoulders and tiny sleeves (meant for the pads). Is this too big a job to make one fit for casual street wear? Or do you have the magic secret to make it work :-)

It definitely can be yes! Give it a shot!

[@oniciamuller]

Tried it today. It really was this simple. I'd say wear the pants after each step to double confirm the end results are good. And if you stitch them wrong, just go in with a seam ripper. Thread is cheap, having to find new pants to tailor is not. Good luck!

[@StylishDTailors]

[@gadgets.cracker]

Don't know how to thank you. In India, if it looks like that one before, people from middle class society start assuming you're backward. But this method changed all my ugly jeans

[@mspacey]

The number of people who look at 0:04 and genuinely think the Before looks better😂. Personally I’d go slightly longer than your After, but to wear the Before and think that’s styling is just ...lol

[@robdmau]

So I tried this technique today…. Is the material is filed. Is that 4” total? 2” on the outside then 2” on the inside? Maybe I messed up but what I did 3”, I put it up to the other leg that was still long it was like 6” shorter. I moved to it -“1.5” and it was bout 3” from the other leg.

[@StylishDTailors]

You did it right, it doubles, so when you held the altered leg next to the unaltered one thats why you got those measurements. If you wanted to take off 1 inch for instance you would measure 1/2 and inch instead of 1 inch since it doubles. I hope that makes sense !

[@robdmau]

@@StylishDTailors ok cool, not sure that the video shows that, I think you said to take 2” off, then measured 2” minus the hem. Aside from that, this video was fantastic. First time trying any of this and it worked out great!!

[@Smmmile]

Nice. I'd also say, begin and end with a back stitch just in case.

No worries, if its too long you can just follow the same process. Ultimately you will end up cutting off what you already altered. Hope that makes sense.

[@shan504]

Hey Stylish D, I had a question about the "other" zig zag stitch you mention at 2:13. I'm just starting out, and I was wondering where exactly I should put that zig zag stitch. Do I put right above (or I guess next to) the zig zag pattern left over from cutting with the pinking shears or somewhere else?

[@StylishDTailors]

Hey there! You wanna put the other zigzag stitch along the raw edge so it doesn’t fray. You want it to overlap over it, does that make sense?

[@shan504]

@@StylishDTailors Thanks for the response! Oh I think I know what you mean. It is because both are zig zag shaped so you can overlap them? Also, should the settings for this second zigzag stitch be the same as for the first one, or should I experiment with that based on the pattern my pinking shears leave behind (not sure if all pinking shears leave a zigzag pattern of the same length and width)? Thanks!

[@azlizzie]

Do you have to iron them every time after completing this? (I do not have the patience to iron and would rather put in a new hem than keep the factory if ironing is involved.)

[@danielmenjivar]

Ironing/pressing and sewing go hand in hand. Even if you put in a new hem, you still have to iron it. Always press every seam right after sewing it.

[@StylishDTailors]

You don't HAVE to, you can do whatever you want, but it does look better ironed. That being said if you didn't iron it its not like it would look awful or anything. Only you would notice.

[@azlizzie]

@@StylishDTailors I miscommunicated. After the initial press after sewing, does it need continual ironing after washing?

[@StylishDTailors]

Nope you communicated it perfectly, my comment still stands, you don’t HAVE TO but it’s a good idea. It wouldn’t be super obvious if you didn’t or anything.

[@azlizzie]
