Not only do you make this procedure look less daunting, with great professional-looking results, but your calm manner and voice are SUPER pleasant to listen to and are reassuring! I’m ready to jump on this technique and try it out, but will heed your advice about having the right tools to do it before I give it ago…Thanks a million!
While I guess she is doing her best at this, but it is obvious that she is an amateur in sewing, but bless her heart just da same :) FYI, here are a couple of URL’s on sewing back original hems by ladies who are more likely non-amateurs. 1] ruclips.net/video/bc8hwF7f5oQ/видео.html 2] ruclips.net/video/P02Mne95-s8/видео.html
Like I said before, I really don't have much interest in Clothes Design or Tailoring but I am just fascinated when watching true Pros such as Shea do their stuff...She is just magnetic...I can't get enough of seeing her get her work done in such an instructive and fun way, it is really interesting...Methinks my Girlfriend is gonna start getting jealous of Shea... :)
This technique of hiding the sewn seam inside the hem is the best of all the tutorials I've seen on You tube! It's by far less bulky and noticeable to the naked eye. This is pure genius!!!
I have an old fashioned tool from 30+ years ago called a Jean-a-ma-jig. I find it indispensable in getting over the thick seems in jeans. Thanks for this video. I’m getting back to hemming my own jeans now that I’m retired.
I've been watching many videos lately on hemming techniques keeping the original hem. This one's the best for me. You didn't confuse me. Have 3 pairs of jeans waiting on me. Great work. Will be watching you for new ideas. Thank you.
I love it!! It’s at times I can’t get the right length of pants! 34”x29; I can now buy the right waist size and hookup the length myself!?! Thank you thank you!!🌹👍🏽🌹
I agree with all the positive comments ... fantastic video and great teaching ... I also compliment the photographer .. it was so clear to see ... thank you from Lizz in South Africa xx
Thank you so very much for this awesome procedure to hem jeans. I am getting ready to hem a pair and I am so glad that I kept searching and found YOU!!!! Precise and calm complete instructions, thank you again!
I love your calming voice as I cut off 4 inches off my jeans never to return back to the way they were again! gah You did a great job describing every step and visualization. Thanx
This is the best denim ham I have ever seen you make it look easy first, it was a little bit iffy, but watching it a second time you made it look so easy thank you
Great tutorial! My husband just paid $25 to have his jeans hemmed. I think the seamstress used your method. I am hemming mine now following your directions. Thank you.
I am so impressed with your tutorial, never hemmed anything before but you gave me the confidence to try. The tip about lifting up the pressure foot whilst jumping over the seams was crucial as my machine would NEVER have managed it otherwise. Will be following for more tips, thank you 😊
most excellent tutorial. I am in experiment mode with hems and jeans. I plan to try this technique, thanks for the tip. The right tools are so important as you say, it has been this way with all of my life journey working with my hands and mind.
🌟AWESOME JOB! 🌟 👍 Great video! Thanks a million for sharing your wonderful ideas! Very well explained, easy to understand! Fantastic Tailoring here that’s for sure …. I personally give “YOU” a 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Award all the way! 😃
Thank you so much for making this tutorial!! This is the most comprehensive video I've seen that shows how to keep the original hem w/out doing the hack. :-)
Good video and instructions. I like the finished look of "binding the bottom edge", though I'm not sure the typical domestic machine could handle the bulk. You did mention needing a "strong machine". Good instructions. Nerve wracking to "cut the jeans to the exact finished size. Accurate measurements is a necessity as you mentioned.
Wow I'm so glad I found you!! What a great teacher, I was always afraid to take in jeans but after your tutorial I'm confident I can do it!! So thank you so much 💜💜💜
I am enjoying your videos, but I am curious why one would do this instead of just making an new doubled hem and using blue jean topstitching thread? I keep seeing this method (not necessarily yours, but shortening using the original hem). This 5’3” girl has always just made a new hem….seems easier to me, and looks original. 3:17
I like your technique the best of the 4 or 5 I’ve viewed. I’ve been sewing for over 50 yrs and always found hemming jeans were not that difficult but getting that hem to look original. Now, if the jeans you did were non stretch, I think you’d have to open that outside seam to adjust the difference in width of the old hem and new hem at the narrower pant leg. Correct? Thanks for your lessons
Not all sewing machines have the same foot width so this isn’t correct for everyone. Sorry. But someone might want to measure the foot they have and see if theirs matches that width.
wish i had an industrail machine. i tried this on my cheap one (basically a toy, an old toyota worth 100 dollars at mosth at the time) and i couldn't go through the thick inseams.
Question I'm working on a pair of jeans, I'm hemming it about 4 in above. I've got a lot of extra material with the original hemline, do you have a video that shows you how to adjust the original hemline to fit the new one?
The point of 'reattaching the original hem' is actually to preserve the artificial aged look of the bottom edge. In the factory them just hem the pants by turning them up and stitching like normal but then the jeans go through stages of weathering often using chemicals to create the distressed look.
Why is it better to attach the hem in this way ( wrap to the outside ) instead of wrap it to the inside of the jeans as I have seem in other videos?, is there a difference?
I like to wrap to the outside because then the final line of stitching is done from the outside of the garment so you can see exactly where you are stitching and make it nice and straight and pretty!
@@sewshowwithshae I hemmed the jeans the way you instructed and I loved the tutorial and how clear you are. However, wrapping the hem to the outside looks a little funny on my jeans. How would you do it so that hem wraps to the inside?
If you do not have the thicker thread can you use 2 strands of serger thread to make this top stitch on jeans and if you can do this what thread do you use on your bobbin. I can not find the color I need but I do have a serger cone the perfect color
You could try it, but I wouldn’t suggest running two lines of thread through the same tension dials on your machine into the needle, doesn’t sound like a great situation for the machine!
@@sewshowwithshae I'm a tailor at men's warehouse and I disagree with a lot of the " minutes to complete whatever" I'm slower than what I should be completing in a day there for I can't send stuff out when it's a heavy week like this week. I'm not going to be able to finish everything that's due today. It doesn't help that the button machine is broken and I have 12 suits due today that need buttons. ( I work alone with no help)
Hi! At the beginning when you measured 27 1/2 inches for the required length I noticed you had another line close to it. What is this measurement for? Thank you.
There is a comment on the screen that says not to pay attention to that mark it means nothing. It might have been worth the minute of time for Shae to remove that mark so as not to confuse anyone watching.
Great videos but I don’t think this technique is needed. The reality is I’ve have several jeans shortened and I began to ask that they just re sew a new band hem and then I run the jeans through the washer several times. Usually with a few washes the hem looks original
hello very beautiful videos please kindly film how to thread and operate the industrial sewing machine in this video please OK?please kindly reply back OK?thank you very much
This is the best method, there are no other ways to do it. This is it!

Good job,, i like it😍😍. Welcome from jordan ,, 🥰🥰
CAN I PLEASE MAIL YOU MY JEANS SO YOU CAN FIX THEM IN THIS AWESOME MANNER, NO ONE IN MY AREA DOES THIS..WOW GREAT JOB!!!!!
Wow !! nice work from nice women !.
Thank you so much!
❤great job, thank you for sharing.
What type of machine did you use? and what brand of iron? Love this video! Tx
What brand and model is your sewing machine. Love the cut and foot lift auto feature.
Great sharing 👍🌺☘🌻🍀🌷🍁🌳
Look into Euro hemming jeans.
Very smart!
when switching to your 18 needle, did you have to reset the timing on your machine prior?
A stitch width of 2.0 when you straight stitch is 3/8" seam allowance, if you line up the fabric edge with the edge of the presser foot.
Not all sewing machines have the same foot width so this isn’t correct for everyone. Sorry. But someone might want to measure the foot they have and see if theirs matches that width.
Thank you for your videos. I have to shorten jeans with an original cuff. Do you have any guidance for that?
How far from the hem do you cut your fabric to reattact amd roll over
What size thread would you use?!?!
I prefer a cotton poly blend of Tex 60 and always Gutermann!
wish i had an industrail machine. i tried this on my cheap one (basically a toy, an old toyota worth 100 dollars at mosth at the time) and i couldn't go through the thick inseams.
Very cool
Question I'm working on a pair of jeans, I'm hemming it about 4 in above. I've got a lot of extra material with the original hemline, do you have a video that shows you how to adjust the original hemline to fit the new one?
Not yet but you’ll want to taper the original hem band at the inseam just like you’d taper the pant leg itself if needed.
Oh my god👍❤
HI. Where did you purchase the tec 80 thread for sewing jeans?
Hi! We order the Gütermann from Wawak😊
I wish my jeans were too long. I normally have the opposite problem 😅
There are easier ways without cutting and be exact. This looks more difficult that others I’ve seen.
Это вы из какой страны? Помошница нужно 😊
I didn't close the original leg very well. I think the first stitch you made on the top is visible.
I just wondering how the jeans factory make that original hem? Is there machine for that?
The point of 'reattaching the original hem' is actually to preserve the artificial aged look of the bottom edge. In the factory them just hem the pants by turning them up and stitching like normal but then the jeans go through stages of weathering often using chemicals to create the distressed look.
So you will be sewing 5 layers of material? You have to have an industrial machine?
Mam, can you suggest how to turn track to capri.
What kind of sewing machine do youhave
Why is it better to attach the hem in this way ( wrap to the outside ) instead of wrap it to the inside of the jeans as I have seem in other videos?, is there a difference?

What the name of your machine and model
Thank you

I did try it and it did work Kinda like threading for twin needle. Thanks for your reply@@sewshowwithshae
your tutorial is the best on Ytube trust me I have watched all of them :)@@sewshowwithshae
Do you think you can do this from start to finish in 15 minutes?
That would definitely depending on the seam ripping, I’d put this at closer to a 30-40 minute job.
@@sewshowwithshae I'm a tailor at men's warehouse and I disagree with a lot of the " minutes to complete whatever" I'm slower than what I should be completing in a day there for I can't send stuff out when it's a heavy week like this week.
