- Step by step on how to hem a lined suit jacket that does not have a back vent.
Steps for hemming a suit with a back vent are a little different, I plan on showing you that in another video.

I love this method and your tutorial was so helpful! It worked like a dream and was much less labor intensive and quick. Thank you!
This is a great and very comprehensive tutorial! This will help me a lot with doing my own suits. Any chance that you’ll be posting that video on hemming suit jackets with a vent soon? Again, thank you for the video!
That was amazing! I will probably never do this in my life, yet I watched the whole thing!
Thank you so much, I'm a newish tailor ( I've been sewing for years as a hobby but now it's my full time job) I work alone so I'm always learning as I go, I have to shorten a coat and my manager 🙄 instead of sending it out to get done he just figured I can figure it out and it's due in less than a week ( thanks bud) I was kinda freaking out and couldn't find a video but this came up and it's a life saver. I feel way more confident of pulling it off. The coat has side vents so it may be a little more tricky but I'll figure it out
You are where I was many years ago. I feel your pain. Bottom line is You Do Learn As You Go! And you get better and better
Quite good. I was concerned that you did not mention balance when shortening a man's jacket and the limitations to how much you can shorten it with respect to the position of the pockets ?! Shortening more than 2" on most jackets would most likely distort the overall balance don't you think? or does it depend on something else?
watched this over 10 times but finally did it! thanks so much
@john vonburg you sew the bottom together from the inside out and then flip the jacket inside out And hand sew the lining up then it’s done
I loved this video and would love to see you do other alterations!
look at rick owens and alexander mcqueen blazers. their hem is shorter than their sleeves! it works, are you ready for it?
Can you show us how to sew a new hem line
Love this video, so informative
Oh thanks Michele!! that means so much coming from you!! 💛💛💛
Thank you Amy
for such a good video
You made a VERY scary project EASY for me! Thanks!
Vicki Synovitz great!
More work than I thought. I would be afraid of cutting, there's no going back. 😑
Thank you for the lesson. 😉
M not understanding how the lining doesn't hang over the bottom
Thankyou baby
Thank you for this lesson. I followed your directions and it turned out perfect and I understood what I had done. Would you please consider doing more alterations videos. I’m on to taking up sleeves in a lined blazer. I’ve got a book to help me but not as good as you. Thank you again.
Sue Arthurs I am Definitely considering it! Possibly even a course!
This was a very informative vid! Thank you! Question though, why can't you just trace the new seam from inside the jacket along with the curve?
I like to do it from the outside because you get a better idea of the finished edge when tracing the sharp curve of the original hem! (also this is just the way I was taught - I'm sure there are other techniques to follow!)
Stop talking sense! I'm going to try your method this weekend.
Can we do with out cutting curve ?
Just what I need , but clearly , I would be cutting on Goodwill or DAV suit coats for $ 3. 48 a piece for practice . You mention vented jackets ; single or double vented ? Waiting for for next videos .
j baumun yup! Will be doing videos on those in the future!
@@AmyNicoleStudio Waiting with bells on
Just realized i am a 46 Short and I have been buying 46 R. Ugh! I did not know that as Chest size increases so does the length of the jacket. At least now I know that it is possible to shorten my jackets! Thanks for posting. How much do you think a tailor or seamstress should charge?
I would typically charge around $45 for this service
I work at men's wearhouse and it cost $50 but with inflation they have raised all the alterations prices
I know the video is roughly 20 minutes but realistically, how long does it take you to do this process normally?
Georgiana's Studio maybe an hour? Probably a little less.
The end of the work is not clear and I did not see how the end was sewn and folded!😏
Wouldn't this make the pocket on the jacket look alot lower then it is? weird?
It will, but you typically are not taking so much off the bottom that it’s noticeable or odd looking.
@@AmyNicoleStudio Would tailors be able to shorten it from the top? to prevent the pocket from looking to low?
If you take it to a shop the tailor will do the same method here. There’s no way of shortening the jacket and keeping the pocket distance from the bottom.
What was the distance between the jacket hem and the lining hem?
Sage Preaumx I don’t remember off the top of my head but I think it was 1 1/4”?
