Date: 3/24/12 9:21 PM Yup, good idea removing some seam to reduce thickness. I'll remember that technique.
But I have to ask: Everybody is always talking about hemming jeans. I've never had to hem jeans yet. Is that because I buy men's sizes, which come in whatever length you want? Are women's sizes not available in different lengths? Just wondering! ------ A sewing machine is just a welder for textiles. |

Date: 3/24/12 10:00 PM Al women's jeans are not sold by inseam length. If you are lucky you will find petite/short, average, and tall/long. Each brand is different. I am tall and have always needed tall/long but I can't always find that. If you are shorter, you may need to hem the jeans.
BTW I have done something similar; it makes good sense to me. |
