    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @nikyakuan
      @nikyakuan 2 года назад +1

      The problem with wide leg pants is that they are widest at the bottom. So if you're taking off a lot of length, you'll end up with a hem that's much wider than the section you're trying to sew it to. So, it won't match up right. You're better off cutting them down and sewing a new hem.
