Thank you so much for this video. It's really tough for me to find slim fit shorts that I like, going to convert my old pants over to shorts myself instead of bringing them to a place and paying for it!
Glad it was helpful!
Cut off short jeans ❤️👍
Thank you for this tutorial
Absolutely the best tutorial i have followed. Thanks for posting this. ❤
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for your very clear tutorial 😌
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for another great tutorial. I wished I'd seen this before hemming my shorts. I thought I was on the right track with cutting, folding and pressing it evenly, until I started to stitch. Although I lined up the existing side and inseam stitches, by the time I'd sewn all the way to the inseam, it looked like I'd had excess fabric, and it bunched up on the inseam. I might just do a rolled cuff 😂
Let me know how it goes.
Very helpful and clear. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Wow Jan, thank you so much. Was wondering what to do with my old jeans. Much love. Stay safe!!!
Thanks for this! Just what I was looking for. No sewing machine, but I think anybody can learn to hand sew if they have to👍
You are so welcome!
What a great video, so easy to follow, and such great simple examples, thank you for sharing and taking the time to share all your ideas !
You are so welcome!
I,ve got 3 of those dark blue cut of denim shorts . Got them from ASOS online few years ago. UK.
😊
Thanks! : )
You are so welcome!
Thx
Thank you🙌🤗
You are so welcome
What do you do when the bottom of where you cut is smaller than the area on the leg you are hemming it?
Thank you! i’m ready to change up three pairs of capris that are too long.
Awesome!!
thank you so much for another inspiring video. Can you just check this: when I click the link for seam gauge (don't know what that is...), I see a ruler on Amazon. Is that correct? I was really curious for that seam gauge!
Hi Wilma, Here is the correct link for the seam gauge. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. geni.us/LPdIF Enjoy the rest of your day, and thank you for the kind words.
If the scrap denim is stretchy and I want to use it for quilt squares mixed with other denims, do I need to iron on stabilizer to the back of the squares?
No, I wouldn't worry about it. I have used both on the same quilt with no issues.
Hi, will fabric adhesive spray work to keep the hem? I don’t know how to sew
I've never used it for hemming. They do have iron on seam tape that would work well. geni.us/ax2IXDv
Can you do a video on how to cut and sew a jean short from scratch?
I'll put that on my lists.
If the shorts are stretchy, should we use a stretch stitch?
Yes you may want to
Mine keep bunching when I fold them up an inch. Like there is too much material.
Yes, if you're pants have a quick narrowing, this will happen.
Thanks (^∇^)ノ
You are so welcom
I have a pair sitting on my chair waiting to be hemmed.
The right way = method 2 = method 4. Method 1 and 3 should be banished! Especially 3 gives you that sad looking 40 year old mom/dad look.
i love the frayed method! carefree!
@@flickeringcandle Carefree? It feels like a raw bush in your panties. You have that in care-free mode as well?
Yeah.... I probably do look 40 with my shorts like this.... The thing is.... I AM 40! Lolol!
