    I just found this video, thank you so much for posting it! I'm overweight AND short, and of course, clothes designers assume if you're overweight, you must be at LEAST 5'5"! It's nearly impossible to find any clothes that fit me properly, so I took the plunge, bought myself a sewing machine, and I'm learning to make alterations. Your video was simple and easy to understand!

    You are simply THE BEST. Easy to follow you. I’ve had my sewing machine for 18 years. This is the first time I used it. I hemmed my 96 yr old dad’s pants. Not great but definitely wearable 😅. Thank you so much for your great video

    Thank you for this easy to follow, straight to the point video about hemming jeans! I hummed and hawed for about three weeks as I had to have a pair of black jeans but they only had the long length. I had to wear them for an event this weekend so I bit the bullet and shortened them on Friday. They turned out perfectly 😊. Can’t thank you enough!

    You didn’t mention to use a denim needle. I think it’s important as it helps to prevent needles breaking especially as most denim nowdays is much thicker and stiffer. Also, it would be helpful to show people the little ‘tool’ that can help machines go over a thick seam without skipping stitches.

    remove the extension table on the machine before sewing, you will have a MUCH easier time hemming

  • @raquelmikos
    @raquelmikos Před 5 měsíci +2

    Very informative! Thank you! Also, I don't know about your machine, but mine has a little compartment that holds my sewing feet, ect, in the front of the machine, that can be completely removed. When removed, you would be able to put the whole pant leg around and under the needle area, making the sewing process for something like this much easier. Does yours have this?!

  • @MsRafab1
    @MsRafab1 Před rokem

    Hello. Very helpful tutorial. Would love to know what model Brother sewing machine you have. I plan on sewing thick fabrics (machine quilting) and I think you said that your machine works well with thick fabric -- at least for the jeans you hemmed in the video.

    • @Xpresslifetifa
      @Xpresslifetifa Před rokem +5

      I would’ve taken the accessories box off personally. Definitely easier to have the whole leg open around the machine that way you don’t accidentally catch the back side of the pants and have to rip out stitches.

      I agree with you. I don’t know why it’s necessary to put music in the background when they are talking. A lot of these people who share their knowledge has music in the background. Honestly, they don’t need it. It’s so annoying and frustrating to listen to them talk and to try and filter out the background noise.😢

    as a tailor for 60+ years, your title should read-how to shorten pants, as they already have been hemmed...also, when trying pants on to determine correct length, it they are pants that require a belt, it is a must to belt them so that will be pulled into the correct position that the wear will eventually be wearing them in

    I have seen pants that are too long on The Red Carpet. I have had to make my own clothes, alter hand-me-downs, and store bought dresses, pants, or anything else is a luxury. I can’t believe people would wear their pants too long, dragging on the ground, sidewalk, parking lot, and street getting filthy dirty. No telling what ppl are picking up off of the ground as they walk, and taking it with them.

    There was absolutely no valid reason in discarding the original hem if you understood how to include it in your re-Heming video.
    There are multitudes of videos explaining how this is easily accomplished keeping the original hem while shorting the pants to a desired length.
