I haven't sewn anything since household class when I was around 13, but with the help of your video I just fixed up the pant of one of my suit pants that had come undone! Thank you for the tutorial 🤓
I’ve recently gotten myself into hemming my own pants, it was pretty daunting at first being a male and all, and whilst it was purely for cost saving, I have now a new found love for an activity I rather enjoy whilst I have music playing 😃. I originally learnt a slightly different stitch from some other videos but this one is more neat and clean. Very well made video! Thank you! 🙏🏽
Thanks so much for leaving such a kind comment! I'm so glad you have found enjoyment out of altering your own clothes and been able to save some money too :)
Thanks to your video I was able to fix the hemming of my linen pants all on my own! Your instructions were so easy to follow even after having not touched needle and thread in years!
I am so grateful!! A pair of pants came unsewn on half of one leg, and with your guidance, I was able to repair it. I dare say that my hemming, with your instruction, looks better than the original! My mother would have ordinarily taught me how to do this, but she lives on the other side of the planet. I am very grateful for your time and willingness to employ the miracle of video and internet to teach me. Thank you!
What is the benefit/purpose of catching just the hem allowance for every other stitch? I know most hems are done that way, but it always seemed like it would result in a weaker (or at least more delicate) hem. What does that part of the stitch do? Great video, by the way! I'm super excited that you're uploading again!
It's great to be uploading again, thanks! I think the purpose of only catching the hem allowance every second stitch is to allow for such a small shallow stitch. Both the top and lower stitches only go through one layer of fabric to achieve the 'blind' appearance, so I'm assuming going through 2 layers would create less of a seamless look!
Hi I wanted to ask, if my cuff is longer than my fold what should I do? I don't have a sewing machine to sew the raw edge either so I'm doing this byt hand
Hi! You might need to unpick the existing hem and iron it to be the new length you want. The raw edge should already be finished. If the raw edge isn't finished, you should still be able to refold it at your new length without affecting it overall. Hope that helps.
@@SlewLiving I guess you were pulling the thread to the left every time, which makes it more secure. After I tried it I realized that. Thank you! I was able to hem I love my sons dress pants before he went on a 2-year church mission.
I can't quite believe it! I've actually successfully done my first hemming and it looks professional!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! :)

I love that you take ownership when you forgot your tag line!❤
Thanks you sisters 💓
Best tutorial 👌 ❤

Thanks for this video! Will this stitch hold up well in the wash, or would you not recommend?
You're welcome! It will definitely hold up in the wash!
Fantastic technique and tutorial! Thank you so much! Saving $$

Glad to hear it! Thanks for leaving a comment :)
Very helpful 😅
I have to hem my son's pants for prom! Hoping this works for me😂
Good luck!
Thank u!!
I finally did it ❤
Great job!!!
Hi. Just to clarify for me, do you also go through the pants on the bottom stitch or just the hem on the bottom stitch? Thank you!
Just the hem on the bottom stitch should be fine :)
Hi I wanted to ask, if my cuff is longer than my fold what should I do? I don't have a sewing machine to sew the raw edge either so I'm doing this byt hand
If I were to double fold it, wouldn't it make the cuff more thicker?
Hi! You might need to unpick the existing hem and iron it to be the new length you want. The raw edge should already be finished. If the raw edge isn't finished, you should still be able to refold it at your new length without affecting it overall. Hope that helps.
Thanks, very helpful
This was helpful
Thank you
What is the thinner thread called if I would like to purchase?
I believe it's called bonded nylon thread, but you can also search for invisible thread, blind stitch thread and hem thread.
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
I always thought you had to tuck the thread under each stitch to form a knot with each stitch so they don't pull out. Is that not true?
You can! It's an extra step but if you had the time it's a good idea.
