The Best Sewing Trick: How to Hem Jeans Without Cutting the Original Hem!

Introduction
Do you love your jeans but hate how long they are? Hemming jeans the traditional way often means cutting off the original hem — and losing that authentic, factory finish. But with this smart trick, you can shorten your jeans while preserving the original hem, making your jeans look like they were never altered at all!

Why It Works
This method folds the excess fabric behind the original hem and stitches it in place, keeping the original seam visible. It’s discreet, clean, and durable — perfect for keeping that classic denim look.
