Thank you so much. All of the videos that I found were for frayed edges and none of them showed how to do the outward rolled cuff. Also, this video explained the process very clearly.

Thank you so much for this video. It's really tough for me to find slim fit shorts that I like, going to convert my old pants over to shorts myself instead of bringing them to a place and paying for it!

Thank you for another great tutorial. I wished I'd seen this before hemming my shorts. I thought I was on the right track with cutting, folding and pressing it evenly, until I started to stitch. Although I lined up the existing side and inseam stitches, by the time I'd sewn all the way to the inseam, it looked like I'd had excess fabric, and it bunched up on the inseam. I might just do a rolled cuff 😂

Thanks for this! Just what I was looking for. No sewing machine, but I think anybody can learn to hand sew if they have to👍

What do you do when the bottom of where you cut is smaller than the area on the leg you are hemming it?

Can you do a video on how to cut and sew a jean short from scratch?

@JanHowell 3 ай бұрын

I'll put that on my lists.

@byusaranicole Ай бұрын

If the shorts are stretchy, should we use a stretch stitch?

@JanHowell Ай бұрын

Yes you may want to

@LisaLisa-zl9vu 4 жыл бұрын

If the scrap denim is stretchy and I want to use it for quilt squares mixed with other denims, do I need to iron on stabilizer to the back of the squares?

@JanHowell 3 жыл бұрын

No, I wouldn't worry about it. I have used both on the same quilt with no issues.

@lovingjesus5184 2 ай бұрын

Mine keep bunching when I fold them up an inch. Like there is too much material.

@JanHowell Ай бұрын

Yes, if you're pants have a quick narrowing, this will happen.

@bob-o9865 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, will fabric adhesive spray work to keep the hem? I don’t know how to sew

@JanHowell 2 жыл бұрын

I've never used it for hemming. They do have iron on seam tape that would work well. geni.us/ax2IXDv

thank you so much for another inspiring video. Can you just check this: when I click the link for seam gauge (don't know what that is...), I see a ruler on Amazon. Is that correct? I was really curious for that seam gauge!

@JanHowell 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Wilma, Here is the correct link for the seam gauge. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. geni.us/LPdIF Enjoy the rest of your day, and thank you for the kind words.
