HAND SEWING a Jeans Hem - Keeping the Original Hem!

Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to spice things up and show you how to do a hem on jeans by hand! No sewing machine, just a good old needle and thread! I really hope you were able to pick up some inspiration or some tricks. If you would like to see more videos with hand-sewing, please let me know!

my jaw DROPPED when you put the stitches in the same direction as the WEAVE of the denim. That's such a skillful detail, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! beautiful mend :)

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks 🥰 Glad you like it!

[@lunava5489]

I'm not a tailor and this is how i've been sewing the hems of my jeans in the past 3 years. Glad to know I was doing it the right way ☺️

[@sharontuckerlewis7325]

I have been sewing for 60 years, but learned new tricks today. Thank you!

[@DebbieUnderfinger]

This come just in time for me! A coworker asked me to hem her jeans. Can't wait to try your method!

[@jacquelinepaddock7535]

Thanks for the clear instructions, I don't understand why some people want to make it seem so complicated! 🙄

[@tallcedars2310]

I believe it's so we can't think for ourselves and need to rely on the sinister system to look after us.

[@Teletempo66]

Thank you , I get lost in people over complicating things and loose interest.
You have a wonderful way of thoroughly explaining while not to make as dry as burnt toast.
After watching your video I’m going to give it a go .
Thank you again , appreciate

[@MichellePolzin]

That was the best video and audio instruction for hemming jeans that I’ve ever seen. I do have a sewing machine, and now that I have seen how it works by hand, it will be easier to do by machine. I will do the first part by machine and the second part by hand.

Amazing! First time hemming up jeans. I usually take them to the tailors but I didn’t have time to wait, so gave it a go and I can’t believe I did it! Thank you for the easy peasy instructions! If I have time, I’ll definitely be doing the hems myself ☺️

[@kellysikes7621]

This was very helpful, Thanks for posting.

[@donnamallard1962]

Perfection!! I'm going to use this on 2 new pairs of jeans that just need a little hem adjustment. I was going to do it by the machine, but I hate having to get it out, find thread, wind the bobbin with that color, etc.! This is exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

My pleasure 🥰 Thanks for watching 🥰

[@cw5721]

[@shirleysenkler781]

Thank you for the clear, easy instructions. Some jeans colors I want don't come in a short length, now I can buy them and hem them up myself without losing the look of the original stitching.

[@berniecelee5062]

Yep! Totally agree !! Lol . She is spunky, energetic, great personality and wow …so knowledgeable.
Always enjoy watching her in action. I would never be able to do what she does to adjust , change and give your current wardrobe a new “life “ . I just don’t have the confidence yet with adjusting clothes. But but but , I will try the smaller projects on inexpensive clothes to build some competency over time.

[@dan5660]

Thanks for this! Yes to shorten Jeans or create shorts from an old pair. Never learned to use a sewing machine but willing to sew by hand for occasional work. FYI: the shiny metal thing is a "thimble"- used to protect your fingers/thumbs from getting pricked!

[@DowntownTailoring]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ritahall48]

Loved this tip on hand sewing hems! My daughter's bf wanted me to fix his jeans I have 3 sewing machines but need to do these by hand because I have some disabilities. I think I can do this! THANK YOU!!!

[@denisen.wagstaff7938]

@@DowntownTailoring I'm working on two pairs of flared jeans so it's a wide leg hem...It's tedious but I'm looking forward to the results! Thanks again!

[@DowntownTailoring]

@@denisen.wagstaff7938 keep in mind that this method might not work for flare jeans if you need to shorten them too much as the original hem might be to wide to be placed on the new position. Cheers

[@denisen.wagstaff7938]

@@DowntownTailoring Yes, I was concerned about that but I only needed to take up 1/2" and I think they came out really well! It took me all day for two pairs but I did them - thanks to your great instructions and video! Thanks again!!
