Can you hem jeans?
Do You Mean How To Sew Normal Jeans Into Skinny Jeans? If You Do.... 1) turn your jeans inside out. 2) sew from the knee down to however skinny you'd like them to be. 3) flip it back the right way, & wear them! TIPS- put on your future skinny jeans before sewing and mark where you'd like to sew with chalk. then, after you flip them over, carefully trace back the markings with sewing pins. you may want to keep a seam ripper by you in case you sew it too skinny or too wide. Hope It Helps! x
How can you tell if your garment has a good hem?
A good hem on a dress or a skirt should be almost undetectable. Stitches should be spaced just far apart enough to support the hem, not too close together to pucker the fabric and not too far apart so as to gap. The deeper a hem, the better it hangs (2" to 3", depending on the style and the fabric). The more shallow a hem, the more likely it will roll; just look at how the hem rolls on a new pair of jeans after you wash them the first time. Also, if the weave of the fabric tends to fray, the raw edge of the hem needs to be prepared (either attach hem binding or apply stitching to prevent fraying).
How can I make my boot-cut jeans shorter without losing the boot-cut of the jeans?
Boot-cut jeans are wider at the bottom of each leg than they are at the knee, allowing room for the jeans to easily cover the tops of boots. Shortening the jeans at the hem (bottom of the leg) necessarily removes the wider portion of the pants leg, leaving the narrower upper portion to fall over the boot. The shorter the pants leg, the narrower the bottom of the leg will be. The only way to avoid this narrowing would be to shorten the pants leg at some other point - at the knee, perhaps, or higher on the thigh. But that option would produce an unacceptible horizontal seam across the leg of the pants. The only other option would be to open the side seam of the pants leg and insert a gusset (triangle piece of fabric) to widen the bottom of the shorter pants leg.
