Wow, I have three pairs of jean overalls that need to be shortened so will definitely be giving this a try. Thanks for the clever tip! Thought I would come back and let you know that this did indeed work but not exactly as shown for me. I used a heavy weight top stitching thread for the lacing stitches. I could not just pull the thread at the end but instead had to start at the beginning and work the thread around by pulling the stitches individually. On the second leg I left a longer tail so was able to pull the thread from both ends and knot them together which worked better. I then pressed the hem and stitched it down in the inside with long stitches about 1” apart. Will definitely use this technique again as no cutting and sewing machine needed.
I get the 1st part of the stiching and pulling it tight to get it up, amazing, but i dont gdt the second part with the other leg? Can someone please explain to me. Thanks
I do the same but I cut the doubled over and then put bias binding as a hem finish, otherwise I find it a bit bulky, depends on the thickness...but I do have a sewing machine although for the hem finish I sew by hand..thanks for that anyway! 🎉😊important to press really well the join.
Awesome! I’ve watched other videos about how to hem with the original hemline and I like to sew but it looked a bit tedious. Just the still of this video made it look doable with one photo. Thanks!
I assume that this can't work for flared jeans😕

I did this too, but I used glue gun, it was very warm in the winter because the extra fabric trapped the wind from entering your legs

The best video i have watched so far. Others make it look so complicated
Can I do the same with trousers?
What thread is that??

Can we do this for wide legged jeans too?
I wish I knew about this sooner. It will definitely make hemming my son's pants a bit easier. Thanks so much. 😊
Quite a clever strategy!
Прекрасный способ укоротить джинсы без швейной машинки!
Как вовремя нашлось это видео !!! СПАСИБО !!! Как раз надо брюки рабочие укоротить , а швейной машинки нет .
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing this, I am definitely going to try this!
