I had been putting off some little hemming and fixing that needed to be done on my clothes. So, I finally got to them.
This pair of Jeans which is one of my favorites, had a huge hole in the knee. Online, I found that if you just sew back and forth over the hole with thread a TON of times, it reinforces it and the hole is gone. I know I’m not an expert,but it got the job done. Here is a link to a place that does this professionally so of course theirs looks better.
I also cuffed these jeans since the hem at the bottom was all worn down, and now I have pair of cuffed jeans so woot.
I was able to buy this pair of jeans on ebay normally an $80 pair from Ralph Lauren for $8 with shipping included,but they were over 4″ too long. I was able to hem them using THIS tutorial without needing to actually cut the jeans.
Here you can see I was able to fold it and secure it and use the existing hem.
Here you can see how the fabric is folded inside and tacked on the sides.
So all in all, I am pretty happy with my cheap jeans that now are the perfect size after 10 mins of work!
Have a Great Weekend!
