Hemming/Turning Up Trousers

Blind hem stitch??

I do them by hand - very OldStyle!!

I must admit, my first thought would be to do it by hand. But then my machine only has a flat bed, not a free arm & is very old & basic.

But I have to confess that I had to do the hems of the trousers I am wearing at the moment, last week .... I used wundaweb.......

I usually hem my trousers by hand, but if I have to take up jeans I use the machine so I get the stitching round the bottom.

I love making my own clothes and have just started again. You will really enjoy it when you get into it. There will be no stopping you.

I use pinking shears to cut the cloth then just tack up about an inch with wonderweb.

I told a professional seamstress this and she was horrified, but hey, I'm a bloke.

I only do this with cheapo trousers and jeans, for anything really expensive I would get a tailor to do it.
