HAND SEWING a Jeans Hem - Keeping the Original Hem!

Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to spice things up and show you how to do a hem on jeans by hand! No sewing machine, just a good old needle and thread! I really hope you were able to pick up some inspiration or some tricks. If you would like to see more videos with hand-sewing, please let me know!

my jaw DROPPED when you put the stitches in the same direction as the WEAVE of the denim. That's such a skillful detail, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! beautiful mend :)

I have been sewing for 60 years, but learned new tricks today. Thank you!

I'm not a tailor and this is how i've been sewing the hems of my jeans in the past 3 years. Glad to know I was doing it the right way ☺️

Thanks for the clear instructions, I don't understand why some people want to make it seem so complicated! 🙄

[adelaidebraunhill]

I'm sick with covid and feel the absolute worst but the way you explain things is so helpful and you explain it in such a kind way! I will definitely be watching more of your videos

[Teletempo]

Thank you, I get lost in people over complicating things and loose interest.
You have a wonderful way of thoroughly explaining while not to make as dry as burnt toast.
After watching your video I’m going to give it a go .
Thank you again , appreciate

I would have gotten straight As in school if my teachers were as clear and easy to understand as you! Thank you very much for the great video. I can definitely tell you know your stuff and are very passionate about it.

I've been sewing for year's now practically self taught .Also alteration's on the side including lot's of hemming mostly Jean's, i have at the moment a pair of my own white Jean's that i want taking up so i'm very thankful i came across your video , a game changer for sure .Thank you so much .😁💖

Thank you for the clear, easy instructions. Some jeans colors I want don't come in a short length, now I can buy them and hem them up myself without losing the look of the original stitching.

Perfection!! I'm going to use this on 2 new pairs of jeans that just need a little hem adjustment. I was going to do it by the machine, but I hate having to get it out, find thread, wind the bobbin with that color, etc.! This is exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!!!

[lynnettegoldberg]

Thank you so much for your easy to follow direction! My jeans are hemmed and they look just like they did before I hemmed them! You are an excellent teacher.

[winniedesoto]

Instructions were very clear 😂. Thank goodness 😊

[kittencollective]

Thank you, in the time you did the whole hem I got three stitches done but Im on my way to finally wearing these jeans.!

Thanks for this! Yes to shorten Jeans or create shorts from an old pair. Never learned to use a sewing machine but willing to sew by hand for occasional work. FYI: the shiny metal thing is a "thimble"- used to protect your fingers/thumbs from getting pricked!

[margih]

Thank you for making this video to show us how to shorten jeans by hand. Excellent advice and instructions. ❤❤❤😊

Loved this tip on hand sewing hems! My daughter's bf wanted me to fix his jeans I have 3 sewing machines but need to do these by hand because I have some disabilities. I think I can do this! THANK YOU!!!

[lucyroark]

Perfect timing - I have several pairs of my husband's jeans to hem!
Many thanks!

I will do this on my nice bell bottom jeans before cutting 😮. Thank you this is such an excellent method before deciding to cut 😊 Love all your video tutorials. 💕💃🏻
