👖 Nondestructive Jeans Hem Keep Original Hem Sewing Start to Finish

Made this video for my dad, because when I lived at home and tailored his pants, I wish I had known how to do this.

Instead of folding the hem inwards and stitched down through all layers, the hem is folded to the outside, with the distance between the inner edge of the original hem (where you will be sewing) and the fold being 1/2 the amount of length you're taking up.

I hem almost the same with one difference. I take excess and cut off to 1/4" and hide inside seam so it looks clean and totally original. I finish off with matching denim hem thread that most sewing stores carry. Wash after wash a better way to go.

I don't have that type of foot for my sewing machine, but I found that the universal zipper foot can get snug against the hem and without the bulk to deal with. In my case it is a win / win situation.

Hi there ! I'm a senior male who has never sewn anything before ! ha ha . I don't understand how this hem will work ? Where does the 4 inches of fabric go after stiching about 2 inches ( some kind of cuff ) ? Sorry, I'm very confused. I have lots of jeans to shorten ha ha.

I’m doing this today. I have about 4 pair to do. Would you please tell me the name of the thing you used that resembled a thick fork to hold down the denim. I may try to order one today. Thanks for the video. Need more new stuff from you. Janice

Would this work well with trousers also? Might be a silly question- new to this!

I'm trying to google 'rocking tool' but can't seem to find anything similar to what you are using. Is it referred to by another name? Is this a tool that should be included when I purchase a new sewing machine? Thank you!

Why do you measure half the length at first?

Hola! En donde consigo o como se llama esa patita para levantar el prensa telas?

[Sweetxcream]

But what if you need like more than 2 inches off from your pants?

[gertieshaw]

Thanks good idea - you really talk fast!

You had me until you ended with leaving 4 inches living on your jeans. Not a good look wash after wash and you would have to iron Hem down after each wash
