You are the only person I found that tucks the hem up into the original hem like I wanted to do! Everyone else does the lazy way where then you can't cuff the pant leg up because there is an alteration mark showing. So thanks 😊
Oh really? Yeah I have done it before without concealing the raw edges but I was always so self conscious about it potentially flipping up ahaha. I think most tailors conceal it this way too, it wasn't my idea :)
You do it so neatly and professionally! I love how you are so thorough. Totally subbed! I don't think my sewing level is quite at your level but I'll keep trying!
This is ingenious! I’ve been tailoring for the past 3 years and never run across this method before. I will definitely have to try it out. Keep the videos, especially alteration ones coming!
I am so glad it was helpful Natalie, the first method is a common technique that is rarely taught, I will not lay claim to its geniusness! The second method is something I noticed on a thrifted pair of pants I had purchased and decided to try. Annd the hammer technique was a tip I picked up from The Sewing Education Channel and my mom.
Wonderful video. Just enough information without being too wordy!! Easy to follow your instructions. Concise and to the point. I hate when people go on and on about things not pertaining to the subject. You did it great !!! Thanks Lydia. And my hubby with the stubby legs thanks you also !!!
THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!!!!! You are SO clever. I absolutely LOVE these methods. I'm not short-short, but my legs are, so I have to hem and mend Every. Single. Pair. Of. Pants. GRRR!!! I've always hated how I lost the original hem of jeans!!! No longer. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this! I have a son with really short legs and it’s so hard to find jeans to fit him. I’ve tried other methods to hem them, but yours is the first that I was able to make them look professionally sewn. Thank you!!
I needed to hem my teenage daughter’s jeans, and I wanted to keep the original hem. This tutorial is fantastic. I followed the instructions exactly and the alteration turned out perfectly. I’m so glad I tried it, even though it was a little more involved than the way I typically hem pants.
Enjoyed watching 1st technique. Both nice. Also bought a leather thumbnail with a thin piece of metal insert to make pushing through thick fabrics a breeze. Really was intended for quilting. Subscribed to a great expert! Thanks a million stitches!
Just hemmed my first pair of jeans using the first method!! I’ve been too scared to try for the longest time but this video really simplified the process, it was super easy and I do plan on continuing to use this method. Thank you for putting out this video it was super helpful!
Hey dude you're a genius, thank you so much. I tried doing something similar before and it looked pitiful; your results are awesome 🥰 Definitely making myself busy doing this during quarantine 🙏
GREAT tutorial! I was dreading hemming my jeans because I was terrified of messing them up. But your tutorial is straightforward and easy to follow. Thank you!!
This ist the highest level of hemming i saved the video to refresh my memoriy if i forget it .. i thank you very much for giving us this amazing idea🌺🌸
OMGGGGG I should’ve done this before I cut my jeans, I’m so upset rn I literally just cut my jeans yesterday and god was like here’s a video on how to make ur life easier 😭
Excellent tutorial. I’m short & must always cut off excess length on my pants but jeans are the hardest to get the look of an original hem. And I’ve just bought a pair that are sitting in my alterations pike that need doing. I found this just in time, thanks.
I saw your method today. So I got the Jeans i stole from my Hubby that fit around my butt and waist but were way to long for me. I followed your tutorial and BOOOM they now fit me perfectly. THANK YOU!! Subscribed right away! Greetings from Germany
Omg! Method 1 - This is exactly the way I’ve been searching for as I think this is how my tailor does it! Thank you! Now I just hope I can do this on my own! 🙌👍
LOVE your video and your wonderful explanation. I wish I took a before photo of the jeans I hemmed thanks to you. Thank you soo much for posting your tutorial.
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I got a couple pairs of flared jeans that are just way too long, now I can save them from the bottom of my wardrobe😂
@@diorv - Sorry I didn't get that memo in 2019 that people will stop wearing skinny jeans and go back to baggy shit. Plus I don't hang out with too many teenagers so I'm not hip on the current trends, nor do I want to be. Even still today, I don't see anyone wearing baggy clothes.
Same here, my friends in highschool (actually not good friends) always made fun of me and said awful things because i was the only one that didn't like tight jeans
Also my machine didn’t work over the bulky side seams - next time I’ll try your method of hammering it down to soften it. I had already watched other videos and got going then continued searching and found yours! Will subscribe so I don’t miss them in future! I love your clear presentation! Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! you are a lifesaver... I really didn't want to cut my jeans I just bought that are too long, so I'm definitely going to use the second method you showed♥️
Thank you so much! and Oh you CAN! its not so hard, the first time i tried it back in the day it really sucked. But ya just gotta get up and try again! :D
It was a video that made me think that how to repair and wear a very common kind of costume could determine the person's impression. Thank you for the useful video.
i did that once in the past and never wanted to wear my jeans (bell bottoms) because I was so afraid they would flip up and show! When I discovered this method I was overjoyed!!
Thnx for the awesome video! Genius! And I have a feeling I’m going to have your catchy chart topping “Jeans” song stuck in my head...🎶 Jeans🎵 Feel good on yo bod- aye...Jeans....🎶 So cute & 🆒 👏 ♾☮️
Interesting video. Growing up we were very poor and we were 7 siblings so a lot of hand-me-downs especially pants so a lot of times the pant legs were above the ankles and we would all laugh and tease each other with the phrase "Where's the flood"? Amazing how in a little over 60 years what was a sign of poverty is now fashionable. I guess people have taken grunge and slimming to a new level. Of course even today I smile and laugh and ask "Where's the flood"
Uffff. I'm a simple guy. First leg took me almost a day, broke 2 needles, lots of swearing and result is .... disaster. Second leg was straightforward, easy and great result! 🎉 It's not so easy and requires skill but I think I can mange from now on😄 Thanks for great video.
Thank you! I learned from my mom and seeing thrifted garments that were altered. There’s also more on RUclips about this! One particular that I have linked in my description ☺️ thanks for watching 🙏
My poor momma is 5’0” and she always has me hem her pants. This video helped me so I could keep the original hemline on all her jeans, she’s so happy now so thank you💕💕💕
I know this technique and used in my several jeans but unfortunately it works perfectly for straight jeans only. With tapered jeans I had to sew the side as well like a slimming up way to match to the tapered leg to keep the original hem, turned out great :) Now time to figure out how can I keep the original hem of flared jeans! Oh, boy, wish I was lil bit taller
Have you tried a method on flare jeans? I just bought a wide leg and a flare that are too long and I'm trying to find a method to keep the flare while shorthening.

Love the fold, no cut method... that'll be great for my kids jeans so I can let down as they grow
Oh wonderful! I'm so glad its helpful for you!

Wow watched so many videos and your 1st method by far is the best!
thanks so much! its an age old tailoring trick of which I am not the author! I am so glad I could help!

omg i thought the hammer thing was a joke until a hammer popped up on the screen
LOL i get that haha!
it’s actually so essential!
@@MZ95 so is irrelevance.
Short people realising long jeans are trendy now 👁👄👁
ahah yaaa
Uhm well mine are litterly a whole foot way too long 👁👄👁

I can't even find mom jeans for my height
@@patriciabitanga5524 i don’t know if this is a little late but h&m ankle jeans fit me pretty well and i’m 5’0
Needed an example to follow for my jeans, great job. Such a soothing voice as well.
Oh wonderful! So happy it was helpful!
I just shortened a friend's pants like that and you can't tell it has been altered! Thank you soooooo much!!!

So glad I could help! And thank you Vaia!
I think the cutting method looks the best, but the no-cut method was SO SMART because you can change your length back as the trends change! 👌🏻
Thank you!!
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. You’re everything I needed and more! Thank you so much! 🤩🥰
You are so welcome!
GREAT tutorial! I was dreading hemming my jeans because I was terrified of messing them up. But your tutorial is straightforward and easy to follow. Thank you!!
Oh thats great to hear!!
This is a brilliant tutorial. Followed along and my jeans are *chefs kiss* now. Also, your voice is so soothing 😍 Thank you!
Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful!
You’re literally so freaking smart wtf. THESE LOOK SO GOOD
Thank you!!
THIS IS SUCH A PRO! THANK YOU
Idk why RUclips recommended this I am 5'9 but I'm still watching.
Im glaad you’re here 😊 not all of us are as vertically gifted 🤣 😭🤣 but you can use this method for shorts!!
Thank you so much for your video - I have 2 pair of jeans I need to hem and this helps me a great deal! You are awesome !!!
I am so glad to help :)
The most intelligent ways ever!!!! Very logical n neat...
thank you!
This is so clever. I learnt a lot of new techniques. Thanks!
You are most welcome 🌸😊
Ohhh, I never thought to open the hem and hide the rest in there!
Yaa it changed ma liiife!
Yeah me either. I have used both of these techniques but I never hid the raw edges. Now I know!! Thank you
This ist the highest level of hemming i saved the video to refresh my memoriy if i forget it .. i thank you very much for giving us this amazing idea🌺🌸
Thank you so much that means a lot! 💓
Thanks for this video! I have used this method myself for years, but I have been doing it differently and this way is so much more simple. Thanks!
I am sooo happy to help!
OMGGGGG I should’ve done this before I cut my jeans, I’m so upset rn I literally just cut my jeans yesterday and god was like here’s a video on how to make ur life easier 😭
Oh no! Next time!!!
@chrollo, can't you just sew the original hem back on like lydia did in her first method?
Excellent tutorial. I’m short & must always cut off excess length on my pants but jeans are the hardest to get the look of an original hem. And I’ve just bought a pair that are sitting in my alterations pike that need doing. I found this just in time, thanks.
So happy I could help!
High waters
Wow I would never have guessed you could do this, after years of shortening Jeans.Thank you.
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
honestly this is genius idk how i've never thought of this!

Thanku so much.. you’re such a genius. Really good idea to do hemming with original bottom
Such a nice person you are 😊🥰
Thank you so much 😊
Awesome. You are vey talented.
Funny how baggy jeans are in trend now, back then ppl made fun of me for wearing loose jeans🙄
Well, trends come and go, live your own personality and don’t be pushed around by the Lemmings of society!! 😉💕
Baggy jeans are back? I see nothing but tight jeans for the last several years. I'm kind of sick of it.
@@butchvito do you live under a rock? Baggy jeans were back since 2019, in the younger generations at least

Yaay I am so glad I could help in the nick of time!!
@@LydiaNaomi YES you definitely did, I looked up so many videos but this one by far is the best one I've seen. thank you sm! Immediately subbed:)
Good job! I am a seamstress but never wear jeans. Many of these tutorials here on yt are just bad. Yours, esp method 1, is very good!
Huge compliment, Thank you Laura!
Best I watched so far
thank you so much!
Your jeans turned out very well. Very professional. Not sure I could do as well.😊
Thank you so much! and Oh you CAN! its not so hard, the first time i tried it back in the day it really sucked. But ya just gotta get up and try again! :D
I came across your video. I have subscribed as feel confident in your abilities to teach.
Thank you so much!
Thanks to this i managed to shorten my jeans seamlessly even without the machine!!!
Wow amazing! 👏👏👏
Cute Shoes! ❤

Omg! You’re so talented!! Thank you so much!
Thank YOU 💕🥰
So you’re a talented seamstress and a gifted singer?? Woow XD. Thanks for the tutorial!!
Thank you! And your most welcome 🤗
Neat. I thought, you would just leave the seam visible on the inside, but this is really clever!
i did that once in the past and never wanted to wear my jeans (bell bottoms) because I was so afraid they would flip up and show! When I discovered this method I was overjoyed!!
I used the first method for all hems. Thank you for such a concise video ❤
I like the first method 😉
This is so awesome! Ive always wondered how to keep that original hem look. Thank you!
I am so glad I could help! Its a great technique that goes back way before me :)
Good and creative, thankyou Lydia.
i went thrifting recently and got these jeans that fit me perfectly on the waist but are super long (im 5’1) this is a life saver :)
I am sooo happy to hear that!! Rock them jeans!

Great job 👏 Sometimes that's how it goes, exasperating right? Skill is gained by practice it's as simple as that! You're on the right path!
Interesting, I’ve never seen the original seam line removed and resewn with the seam allowance incorporated. Great job!

I know this technique and used in my several jeans but unfortunately it works perfectly for straight jeans only. With tapered jeans I had to sew the side as well like a slimming up way to match to the tapered leg to keep the original hem, turned out great :) Now time to figure out how can I keep the original hem of flared jeans! Oh, boy, wish I was lil bit taller
Awesome, you are an experienced sewer I see :)
@@LydiaNaomi yeah, seems really easy until you try :)
Have you tried a method on flare jeans? I just bought a wide leg and a flare that are too long and I'm trying to find a method to keep the flare while shorthening.
I like method 2, easier & less work/ tools needed etc.
This really helps me to make new ideas. Love it.
Awesome I am so glad!
Loved this and the lady can sew and dance as well 🎉 lol
Why thank you!!
