I’m really bad at posting on this page.
But since I just finished a few pairs of jeans with “original hem”, and 2 with “new hem”, I thought I should post some photos.
Some jeans work better with original hem treatment and some, because of fiber content or the shape of the leg, just work better with a new hem.

The first photo is flare jean that took nicely to an original hem treatment, which isn’t always the case it if must be shortened by a lot.

The second photo shows the top 2 pairs of jeans with original hem and the bottom pair with a new hem.

The bottom pair is a wide leg that had a very broad flair and a deep hem. These had to be shortened by 8 inches, which made the shape of the flare too rounded to use the original hem. So for this pair, I made a new hem with the same 3” depth.

If you need your jeans or pants hemmed, I will work with you to determine the best hem for you.

This is such a sweet article. I love gowns. And I REALLY LOVE ALTERING GOWNS. I want to help the bride or bridesmaids or prom girl or whoever is wearing the dress, feel beautiful in a garment fitted specifically to her body. It’s my favorite kind of sewing.

I knew the proposal was coming. Even if I hadn’t accidentally already found the engagement ring receipt, the Cheshire Cat grin on the waiter as my future husband fumbled with the ring under the table would have given him away. Nearly immediately…
