She asked her husband to put on shoes , and folded her jeans so that they would remain about 1-1.5 cm to the floor and stabbed them with needles.
She asked me to walk around the room several times , to sit down. During this time , the trousers twitched up a little , and I let go of the length by another 1 cm.
How to hem jeans
bent it and stabbed it with needles.
After my husband took off his jeans , I decided how many cm , I should shorten the length of the legs
. It turned out 9.5 cm. Decided how many cm to cut off.
Turned the legs out , and twisted it 4.7 cm .
Moreover, I measured 4.7 cm from the bottom to the native hem. I measured 4.7 cm.
I measured a distance of 4.7 cm along the entire hem. And pricked with needles. Needles , of course , stuck across the movement of the foot of the machine.
Pinned with needles
Then stitched on a typewriter. I gave a line along the edge of the native hem , as in the photo below.
I stitched along the edge of my native hem
To calm down , in order to check whether I measured the length correctly , I asked my husband to try on jeans.
Long is ok. After that, I measured 1.5 cm from the completed line and cut off the excess. How to hem jeans while maintaining the seam
Cut off the excess , leaving 1.5 cm.
An important point! Since , when cutting the leg , I cut the side , stitched native seams , it is necessary to connect them as evenly as possible. So that it would not be visible that the seam was cut. In the photo below, the seam has moved to the side. This should be foreseen either immediately or corrected.
Open the stitching and line up the seams. How to hem jeans while preserving the seam
This is not correct , it should be redone
In the photo below , I did it as it should be.
The seams are evenly connected.
I took it to the workshop , overlay the seam. In order not to wait , I agreed that the master would overlay with black threads , since the color of the threads is not important here.
Now , so that the overlaid seam does not bend down , I gave a line along the very edge.
Here is an important point! Threads should be selected as much as possible to match the fabric of the jeans. I gave a line along the very edge.
Pay attention to the photo above. I marked with arrows a white stripe , it is native. This strip will distract attention from the stitching , the seam that we made when cutting the jeans.
And this effect will intensify after washing. Next , I made bartacks , 1 cm from the front side , on the side seams , These bartacks will not allow the seam to bend down. And the bottom of the pants will not puff. I made the bartacks , trying to get exactly into the seam , as in the photo below.
I made a fastener in the seam.
Actually, that's all. It remains only to steam off the stitched , so that the seam has a finished look.
For comparison, I photographed jeans , which I hemmed in the usual way - on the left in the photo , on the right - jeans , hemmed according to Tanya's advice.
This is how you can hem jeans while maintaining the seam. Everything ingenious is simple! When I sewed it this way , I was just amazed. Sister , thanks!
