Even for a good male figure, it is not always possible to choose perfectly fitting trousers that do not require adjustment. Most often, the length of the product needs to be adjusted.
You can contact a studio, but you can do such simple work at home yourself.
We hem tapered men's trousers correctly
First, you need to decide how to care for the item. If you plan to wash it at home, first you need to wash the item. There is a possibility that the fabric will shrink after washing.
How to shorten skinny men's trousers
Reference! There is a simple rule for choosing the length: the narrower the width of the trousers, the shorter they are.
If a man's pants have a bottom width of less than 22 cm, they are considered skinny. The recommended length for them is the middle of the heel. In front they gather into one soft fold on the lower leg.
Jeans are tried on in the same way as classic men's trousers. Very skinny jeans cover the top of the shoe without wrinkles, those that are wider gather in front into a crease on the shin.
Important! You need to try on pants with shoes and a belt.
The hem can be marked using pins or tailor's chalk.
Technology for hemming tapered men's trousers
The choice of hem processing depends on the model and the material from which they are sewn. It is best to bend using the same method chosen by the manufacturer.
For suit trousers, the trouser braid treatment is used.
Advice! The braid can be wetted or ironed with steam before use.
Having combined both trouser legs in the belt, you need to lay them out on the table. Using the marks you need to mark the hem line for the bottom. Place the hem line down and trim the excess fabric along it.
An open cut can be processed in several ways:
- process on an overlocker;
- overcast on a zigzag with a home sewing machine;
- fold the edge if the thickness of the fabric allows.
Align the bottom edge of the braid with the hem line of the bottom and stitch with two lines. Fold the bottom of the trouser leg and iron it well from the wrong side. Hem the edged hem with a hidden hand stitch, matching the thread to the color of the fabric.
To fix the hem at the bottom, you can use adhesive web. Place it between the trouser leg and the hem and iron it well from the wrong side.
Attention! Today, many people have a modern sewing machine at home. Among the special feet there is a foot for invisible hemming of the bottom. In order for this hem to be invisible, you need to select a suitable thread to match the color of the fabric and loosen the thread tension. Set the narrow zigzag mode and make a blind seam.
Hemming denim trousers is done using a finishing stitch.
First you need to make sure that the sewing machine sews the thick side seams without skipping stitches.
Jeans can be hemmed simply by folding the edge with a “closed hem” seam, or you can keep the frayed bottom edge of the trouser leg.
The second option is more complicated, but in some models of denim trousers you cannot do without such hemming:
- First you need to carefully undo the hem seam;
- cut off the old hem, stepping back from the old stitch by the width of the seam;
- from the hem line marked in the fitting, step down the width of the seam and cut off the excess fabric;
- overcast the bottom edges of the trousers and sew on the signature frayed hems, precisely aligning them along the side edges;
- iron the sewing seam;
- Using a sewing machine, make an even finishing stitch on the front side of the trouser legs.
Some tips
For high-quality hemming of jeans at home, you need, first of all, a beautiful finishing stitch. The thread for the finishing stitch should be of a suitable shade and thicker than for regular stitches. Some sellers call it denim thread because of the thickness and quality of the fiber.
There are special needles on sale for sewing denim; they differ in the shape of their point and improve the quality of the stitching.
Advice! Home sewing machines do not always cope with thickenings such as hems in the area of the side seams. You can make the machine's work easier by pre-cutting the seam allowances at an angle.
You can hem the bottom of suit trousers without using a sewing machine. If you don't plan to wear the trousers every day, you don't need a special braid.
The cut of the bottom of the trousers can be hemmed with a goat seam. This seam securely secures the hem of the trousers and prevents the fabric from fraying.
If braid is not selected for hemming a suit, it can be replaced by cut fabric from the bottom of the trousers.
Good luck to everyone in fitting your favorite pants, it really is an easy and enjoyable job!
