How to sew jeans?

Surely you have repeatedly faced with the problem, when the width of the pants sat perfectly, but the length does not match the growth. This often happens with the owners of the non-standard figure. But there is no reason to despair, because it is not so difficult to sew jeans on the bottom. To do this, it is enough to have the most primitive sewing machine, possibly left as a legacy from the grandmother. Even sewing jeans flares will not be a problem if you know a few tricks.

How to sew jeans on a typewriter?

Before you sew jeans, you need to determine their length correctly. Put on your pants and stand without shoes in front of the mirror. The extra length should be tucked inside and stabbed with pins. In this case, the fold line should touch the floor near the heel, it is allowed to leave even a little more. This is necessary if you are going to wear heels.

Now it is possible to determine the fold line beforehand. The next step is to put on shoes. Carefully look at how the chosen length looks. If you triple everything, we finish the fitting. All measurements are necessarily controlled by one of the pants (right).

We lay out trousers on a flat surface, smooth and smooth along the length. Using a ruler and a piece of chalk (it can be replaced with a piece of soap) we draw a line of the final length of the product. We retreat to the bottom one centimeter and hold one more line. This centimeter is left to the hem.

Now let's see how to sew jeans on a typewriter. We turn the product inside out. We bend the jeans along the first line, then the second time. For convenience, it is better to iron the place of the hem slightly, then it will be easier to lay a straight line. Next, let's start the sewing machine.

The color of the thread is better to be purchased according to the pattern of cut parts. You can immediately buy the thread after buying jeans. To sew up with the same thick threads that the manufacturer used, it will not work. It is enough to buy a strong thread in tone.

How to sew jeans by hand?

What if the machine is not at home, and does not have time to go to the studio? There is no cause for grief, since you can sew jeans manually. It takes more time. Fitting is no different. Chalk lines for the final length and for the allowances are drawn unchanged.

We bend along the line of the trouser leg and sew it with the usual seam "forward needle". Next, bend the second time and a little ironing. Now it is necessary to lay a more accurate and even seam. Its name is "for a needle". Outwardly, it will not differ in anything from the machine line. Everything depends only on accuracy. The needle moves from right to left. First we make the first stitch, then pass the same length. Now we bring out the needle in the same place where the first stitch has ended. Thus, purl stitches are obtained twice as much as the front stitches.

How to properly shorten jeans: another way

When the appearance of the trousers is decent and only the bottom is worn, do not remove the jeans for a summer residence or a house. There is one interesting way how to sew jeans. In the shop for needlework, buy a regular zipper, which is sold for a meter (without a lock). Now cut off the frayed bottom. Lightning is divided into two parts (halves). Apply the snake to the edge of the jeans and lay the machine line. Try to make a line as close to the zipper. We wrap the seam inwards. We are laying one more line. From the edge we retreat about one centimeter. This method allows the edge of the jeans not to rub at the toe, and the zippers of the lightning become an additional decoration.

For the most lazy or hurrying there is one more method. This method is often used by bachelors, whom the sewing machine seems to be a miracle appliance. We measure the length of the trousers by a familiar method, not forgetting the allowance for a hem. Take the glue "Moment", slip the first bend, strongly press. Next, we process the second fold in this way. Iron on both sides of the hem.
