Sewing An Original Hem (Often Called A Euro Hem)

In this video, we’ll show you a great technique to use when hemming your garments. The hems of certain garments, such as jeans, are an important element of the style. Jeans have a signature distressed look along the hem that gives them their classic, lived-in look. If you shorten the length of a pair of jeans using a regular hem, it is almost impossible to recreate that professional distressed edge. The hemming technique shown in this video will allow you to shorten the length of a garment without sacrificing its original hem.
