STEP-BY-STEP tutorial for an undetectable eurohem (Original Hem on Jeans)

Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to show you how to make a eurohem on jeans (again). I had made another video but the lighting and sound were off and I wasn't too proud of it. I really hope you found my instructions easy to follow and that this helps you make a perfect hem while keeping the original hem!

From Maria my mother taught me to embroider when I was 7. I am now 71, I love to sew. Watching you sew is a joy. Sewing takes patience. And love of fabric and all things that make up the Art of sewing. This shows in your excellent work. Carry on.☺️

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 I certainly love the art of sewing!

[@Brenda_S]

Wish I could give a thumbs up for every time I rewatch this video 😉

[@DowntownTailoring]

Awe! Thanks so much! 🥺😚🥰

[@is_what_it_is]

I just wanted to say that you are the only woman I enjoy watching and listening to when it comes to sewing. I could listen to you all day. Thank you for guiding me as I take up this new hobby/trade.

[@DowntownTailoring]

The extra work is definitely worth it-- sending it to the tailor, that is! Thanks for your videos!

[@DowntownTailoring]

My pleasure 🥰 Thanks for watching!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you!! I think it’s definitely worth it with beautiful hems!

[@Josieb4008]

Girl! Thank you for the big details and the tiny details that you always show. I know, after a little practice, this technique would be very worthy on the jeans that I absolutely love! I love your content and I am wishing for you only continued blessings from your river of creative flow!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Awwww thank you so much for your kind words Josie!! 🥹❤️ It’s a great skill to have !!

[@aliceannjo]

Hemming this way seems better to me. There was a lot of bulk when I finished. I'll have to try and undo them and do it this way. Thank you for such GOOD CLEAR video.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for watching 🥰

[@CIDteenie]

I can't believe how funny this video is... also super helpful!

[@maryb.c.507]

I tried this technique on two pairs of jeans for my adult son. Worked just as advertised! Really great instructions, it took a while to do the first pair but second pair went really smoothly. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!

[@DowntownTailoring]

[@ljbenoit1944]

I just finished shortening 6 pair of jeans for a customer! I wasn’t thrilled with the result so I thought of you and I watched this video and loved your technique! I didn’t cut the excess off I turned it inside and I used the iron on hem tape. Not sure why but some places did not stick! Perhaps I didn’t keep the iron it long enough! I love all your videos!

[@augenettevanzijl3641]

Absolutely love this! ❤ Thank you so much

[@DowntownTailoring]

Glad you like it! 🥰

[@debm6507]

BEAUTIFUL work, as always! I usually do the American hem for my customers, but this way is almost undetectable!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! Also the American hem is very good. I like them both 🥰

[@IMOO1896]

The euro hem, is still complicated in my brain, even tho you’ve shown clear demonstration. I prefer the American version, saving the original hem.

[@ZeniaRose]

My teacher always called euro/american/original the same thing... "Eurohem" and so do I. Personally I prefer what you call "American Hem" but I leave the choice up to my customer so I have an example of both at the front counter to show what each look like.

[@dindog22]

whenever I do the Euro Hem I finish it completely in a blue that blends in with the jeans, then I topstitch it with the gold thread after. mostly I use the American hem or just the plain jeans hem. I like your trick of securing the seams first so they don't move.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Making the top stitch first with the blue thread is such a great idea. It will make it easier to make the final top stitch. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@carolynsorah2819]

Am I missing something? Why not just cut the jeans leaving room for them and then turn fabric under twice for a New hem? What's the advantage of using old hem? Video was very well done. Thank you!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hi Carolyn! I can see your point perfectly, however, it has become very fashionable to keep the discolorations of the original hem. I think the following video might illustrate better the point. It does have a nice history of the jeans at the beginning but your question is answered in full after, this. So you can skip the beginning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epqyZ2yie96bf7M Please, let me know what do you think after watching the video. Cheers 😊 Aida

[@onamissionize]

If you cut on the length the pants are supposed to be then sew using a 3/8 seam line, when the hem part is added back on it adds an additional 1/2 inch or more depending on the width of the original hem. There could be a difference of the finished hem length making it longer than the desired finished hem. This is confusing to me.

[@caraid9263]

The cut hem is kind of acting like bias binding- it’s wrapping around the edge, not adding length (say you stitch 1/2 away from edge, the hem folds over to cover that 1/2 “ rather than extending past it so the length stays the same

[@deoara1]

Which is a more accurate measurement? Using a persons inseam measurement for altering pants or the outseam?

[@DowntownTailoring]

That’s a good question. I can tell you that with Today’s fashion, measuring got very tricky. If everyone wore the pants on the same way with the crotch on the right place, the inseam measurement would be the best one. But all pants sit differently. At my store we measure one by one on the customer. I hope this helps.

[@ailecfg]

What kind of presset foot you are using ? New viewers from Scotland . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Thank you For your reply 🫶

[@DowntownTailoring]

Hello! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 I used the standard presser foot. Cheers 😊

[@Edithmanuel-fu2ht]

I’ve been sewing for 40+ years always hem jeans this way.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yesssssss!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@ov3rkill]

eurohem definitely looks better than regular or the american hem.

Are you accepting jeans to be tailored? I’m happy to pay for shipping 😂❤

[@meganprzybylski5404]

What did the button do?

[@kirstinmeyer8527]

I think it is explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iobVdmtoaZl2rtE

[@GiovannaRomano-yn6lf]

You did a great job...but the whole point of a euro hem is not to remove the original factory stitching of the hem

[@DowntownTailoring]

That would be the American Hem. This is an interesting video that tackles this topic. Plain Hem vs. Eurohem vs. American Hem ? (+free flowchart to help decide) kzbin.info/www/bejne/epqyZ2yie96bf7M I hope this helps!

[@zulfikranzulmos4066]

My tailor cut the hem and attached it again like never cut.. How did he did it i don't know 😂😂

[@DowntownTailoring]

It's like magic! 🤗

[@DiannaAtherton]

Always euro hem.

[@DowntownTailoring]

🥰🥰🥰

[@laineywright2696]

This is a beautiful technique, but I prefer to just hem. If you gain a little weight, the pants get shorter, so I can't lower the hem again.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes. I can see your point. Anyways, after a few washes, the regular hem will start to discolored and look very similar. Cheers!

[@SabbirAhmed-dq6sm]

If your denim is spandex, it will lose the elasticity in the hem area and become unwearable after few washes
