How to Hem Pants by Hand - Step by Step

I know this is an older video but genuinely you are a life saver ❤
Ive been self taught in embroidery for years but Im always learning new things and this was explained SO WELL 😌👌

I've never sewn before and always felt useless when a hem needed fixing. I know if I asked my aunt to show me how she'd do the job for me which I appreciate her doing, but it shouldn't be her job! Now I can show her my new skill and she'll be proud. Thank you for your video.

thank you I try it and it is fabulous thanks for the knowledge ❤

Thanks so much for this amazing video! This worked beautifully; and I was able to do this on 3 pants for my boys! 🙂

Clear and useful instruction. Thank you.

Please I didn't see the hemming. It was not clear. Can you please make it clear.

Not enough light to actually see clearly.

Thank you!

Wow n thank u

Thank you! Made it so much easier.

This is very helpful and you included easy to follow instructions. Thank you.

Thank you for this! I was so afraid to hem my sons tux slacks, but I followed you step by step and they turned out great! Thanks for an easy to follow how to! I am a fan!

Great video just a shame the lightning was so dark

Much like so many people on here, I needed to learn how to hem my pants over a weekend before a funeral, and this video was so easy to understand and helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’ve never hemmed pants before and you made it sooooo easy!!! ❤

Thank you. this helped my

daughter out soo much 🥺😍🥳😁‼️

Thank you so much for kindly having posted this very helpful tutorial. It was really clear and easy to follow, and my dad is still in shock as to how I actually managed to shorten his pyjama bottoms so well, despite never having altered a single piece of clothing in my entire life(!) A huge thank you once again for your help, it really is greatly appreciated :)

Thank you!! Just repaired my pants hem for the first time thanks to your video!

Very helpful and clear. Thanks a million!

As an FYI, please specify this is for LEFT HAND person. Thank You

Very good tutorial. It was very helpful when trying to teach my daughter who is away at college to hem her band uniform on her own. I love that I was able to share my screen while FaceTiming her! Thank you.

Is the sewing supposed to be delicate right there to not be seen? Seems like they would rip easily.

Thanks you, 8 years later and still very handy 🎉

Thanks! Usually i buy pants that fit me but are way too long, so this really helps!

Thanks very informative

More than 40 years I have done hem stich when my mother and my sister was alive watching and teaching today my daughter gave her pants to do hem I was thinking since a week how to make lucky I found you teaching great help thank you so much ❤️ ❤

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m new to this and I’m building courage to fix my work pants thanks to your video. Is there a special hand needle needed for this? Also what type of thread is best? Thank You

Thank you for this im 15 and need petite pants since im 4'10 but theyre so hard to find and my mum usually hems them but i wanted to learn how to myself :) this is very helpful

Thanks for the lesson.

Wish you had used a lighter fabric and better lighting. Not easy to see but I think I got it.

thank you. best to sew my uniform hem for my cub scout. ur guidance was best

thanks

Ty for your great video! You explained everything so well and the demonstration was especially helpful since I’m also left handed. I can’t believe I actually hemmed my new pants and they look great!

Thank you - I've got to take some clothes to the funeral home tomorrow for my dad and realised the trouser leg has come undone so I'm going to have a go at sewing it up and this helped.

I got choke holes from hot ashes. 20yr old khaki dicks from walmart. Washed til soft.
I wanna try this, but my finga to stubby. I scared poke my self. Then I wont need to color match my underwear. Last time I didn't, I swear it was just really cold.

Excellent tutorial ......

Hi, thanks for making this video! It's really helpful for someone like me who has never done this before. I did have a few questions that I was hoping you could answer.

1. Which side of the single thread do I keep out? Does the know stay in the hem while the other side is just loose?
2. How long should I make my single thread?
3. What should I do if I run out of thread in the middle of sewing the pant leg?

Thanks so much!

Thank you

Would’ve liked that material was white and thread any color that is bright for tutorial purpose. Enjoyed video.

Is this secure? I’m afraid after a couple years it might come loose?

The recording is too dark to really see what you’re doing.

Great job and I am a lefty too

You move to slow and your lighting is really bad

Not enough light 💡

Thanks you’re very informative

Thank you so much!! I’m new to sewing and needed to sew my school pants, very helpful tutorial ❤

Thank you for being leftie like me ❤ I found my new helper today.

Great tutorial and your voice is super soothing

Need to 😊explain ,uptick.
