I am brand new to sewing with a machine and have been frustrated with so many tutorials that seem to be for people who already know what they're doing. This broke everything down PERFECTLY! Thank you so much for your clarity!
She wielded that machine like a Jedi.
I watched a handful of 'how to sew a pant hem' videos last week. I got confused and had to set the project aside. Today I put out the intention to find a clear video that I could follow and using your guidance, I SUCESSFULLY sewed my 1st set of pant hems as a beginner sewer in my 40's! Turned out great! Thank you!
I’ve been sewing pants alterations for awhile mostly using TH-cam videos as guides. This video is hands down the best beginner video on TH-cam. Well done!
This video is great! My wife has a brother's sewing machine that has sat in a closet the entire time we have owned it. I bought some pants I really like but that were too long on me. I decided I'd try hemming them and this video was a great resource. Very easy to follow along with. Really appreciate the video as I could finally use the sewing machine and make the pants fit perfectly!
Hey Domenica:
Just wanted to say a huge "Thank You!" for this video. I just successfully hemmed my first pair of pants, following your helpful tips and suggestions. And they came out pretty much perfectly.
I just bought my first sewing machine YESTERDAY, and aside from a couple of hours figuring out how to thread the bobbins, etc. my biggest challenge was working out how to figure how much fabric to remove from my (overly long) pants, making the marks, cutting a straight line, and folding, ironing, and pinning the hem.
I'll confess I had to do a bit of practice on scrap bits of fabric. And more than one of my early attempts ended up pretty horrible. But I tell myself that sewing is a skill, and that practice is required. And that each type of fabric goes through the machine a little differently.
I always enjoy learning a new craft or skill. I don't kid myself I'll ever be a master of this craft. But from this day forward, I swear I'll never wear a pair of khakis that drag behind my heels or puddle up around my ankles.
Thanks again, Domenica. You made my day!
Drew Henderson wow! That's awesome 😀. So happy I could help!
Wow a very good tutorial with a woman who does not "overtalk" , lovely accent too!😻
Thank you so much! Had to hem my husband's new suit the night before wearing! 🤦🏾♀️ This was PERFECT!!! 👍🏾🙏🏾❤️
Thank you thank you thank you! After my grandad died 2 years ago he left me a brand new sewing machine because he knew how much I wanted to learn a practical skill. It’s taken me a while but I’ve finally hauled it out of the box and successfully hemmed 2 pairs of work pants thanks to your help! The best instructions I’ve found by far and I’m now feeling way more confident to start new projects (even if my sewing is still a bit wonky lol)
Thank you very much for the tutorial, I have never hemmed anything in my life so your video taught me all I needed to follow your step by step instructions. I really like that you zoomed in to show needle placement. I've always been nervous about cutting off the extra fabric but I went ahead and did it like you showed in the video and I didn't mess up my pants, so that's great, thanks! Small victories!
I'm a guy......and I ruin my clothes all the time. I'm tired of buying new clothes and then ruining them AGAIN. This video is so helpful, I had no idea how to approach this and this video is slow, clear and concise. Thank you!
This was perfect and you explained it on “my level”. Seeing it helped tremendously!
Thank you so much for sharing this video, and sharing your skills and teaching ways: I have successfully hemmed my blue baggy trousers that I have been wearing with an over trail for some time now, and they feel and look so good! 1st attempt as well. Your instructions are very clear, and your camera shots are also very clear and accurate and relative to the instructions. I want to let you know how helpful this video is for me. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I hemmed two pair of pants by following your video and they look great! I've always done them by hand because I was afraid to use the machine. From now on they will be done on the machine!
I know this video is old. But I thank you so much. I just purchased my first sewing machine. This really helped me. Wish me luck on gemming my granddaughters pants.
Thank you so much for this video! I have successfully hemmed 3 pairs of trousers on my Singer Merritt 161 (hand-me-down from my mum!).
Thank you! From a 59 yr old man who has just successfully hemmed his first pair of pants and is working on two more!
Super helpful. I haven't stitched hems in a very long time so this was a great refresher. Well presented. Thank you!
Just did my first hem looks great And did a backward stitch very cool. I haven't used a sewing machine since the 60's with my Grandma Thank you so much and men can't sew. Now I can thanks to you . DJ
Wow, it turned out better than I imagined it'd be! Thank you for sharing! 💓
This tutorial was exactly what I needed. Showed each step clearly and it explained it well. My pants are hemmed now, yay!
That’s awesome 🙌🏻
This was SUPER helpful! Thank you so much. My mother in law gave me the basics the other day when showing me how to use the machine, but this video broke all the steps down so wonderfully. What a great resource.
You’re welcome. Thank you for your lovely comment 😁
Thank you so much. Thanks to your great tutorial I completed my first sewing job. My husband’s expensive work trousers😀. They Turned out really good.
I liked your video, you covered a lot of good points, like prewashing garment and wearing shoes to measure hem. I would suggest using a very small zigzag for knit fabric because the straight stitch might break when fabric is stretched. Thank you for your video.
This is by far the best video I have seen. I just hemmed 2 pair of new work pants fro my grandson and they came out perfect. Thank you for making this video!!
Thank you so much I been sewing for years but always had trouble with hemming now I feel much comfortable after seeming your instructions thanks so much.
Thank you for this very informative and well structured video. I, like many others have successfully hemmed their first pair of pants. Looks great too!
Thanks you so much. I hve always wanted to learn how to sew with a sewing machine as my mom did when we were growing up, but sadly my mum passed away before i could learn from her. Your videos are a blessing. Please continue what you do, i really appreciate your effort to educate others like me
This video is perfect. I'm a beginner and your tutorial is fantastic !
This was very clear and easy to follow. First time doing this and it came out perfectly. Thank you!
I was delighted to watch and listen to the video as it was in English, not American English. The video is very clear and consice, so I going to give it a go
I have some new slacks for work events I’m traveling to this year that need hemming. I’m super nervous about doing it but this video is GREAT step by step. Thank you for all the details 😊
Thank you for putting this video together. Very easy to follow and understand. I feel like a pro.
This was very clear and understandable thank you. Been a long while I used a sewing machine this is a good refresher!!
Excellent tutorial…I wish I could do a blind hem but this is the next best thing and it’s the best I’ve ever seen.Thank you.
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to make it! I found it extremely helpful! Regards!

Really helpful for this absolute beginner. Many thanks.
thank you so much... it has helped me have an idea of how to hem during my sewing exam tomorrow!😊
Thank you for the easy to follow video. I learned how to sew in Jr. high but didn't do anything more for yrs. This video will I'm sure help me to get some good results with my new sewing machine.
Great to hear. All the best with your sewing adventures 😁
thank you so much for the easy to follow and fail-proof tutorial. I had 3 hours to hem my pants for an event, and it turned out well. Thank you so much
Awesome to hear 🙌🏻. Glad I could help 😁
My first time and you made it look easy. Mine turned out great.
Saw the blind stick method, lovely quality. Unfortunately this ones quite blurry. Just informing. Content is much appreciated!
Thank you! I hemmed my first pair of pants based on this video!!!
Very informative and looks easy. I'm going to try this on a pair of pants I had been planning on sending to a seamstress. I think I can do this!
I have to second that last comment. You broke it down big bird Barney style enough for my rusty skills! Thank you!
I love that 😁 thank you for the lovely feedback 👍🏼
Excellent tutorial. thank you for a clearly explained instruction on how to sew a hem.
By far the best and complete video I have found! Now I just need to figure out how to take out my stitch job. I did it backwards lol. Looks like spiderwebs on the other side of the stitch. Not sure what I did. Lol thank you for this video
I learned a lot. Thank you!!
Thank you! I followed along and hemmed my work pants! Very easy to understand.
Jessica H glad I could help!
Thank you Dom. Excellent lesson.
Thank you!! I hemmed my pants and learned how to use my sewing machine!
Sally Mercer that's awesome!
Hello there, thank you for providing great instructions. I will be working on my first pair of pants hem. Only one feedback...please select a lighter color fabric when you do demonstrations such as this or choose a contrast thread like white as a demo for viewers who are new beginners such as myself.
Thank you so much for this video. I am a beginner and of course my sewing class was canceled due to Covid and my Dad needs his pants hemmed and I have been terrified to try it. I've succesfully made masks and your video is so clear and you have given me the confidence to go for it today.
Oh that’s awesome that these videos have helped grow your sewing confidence! All the best with hemming those pants. You’ve got this 🙌🏻
This is hugely helpful! Thank you! 💜
