Hemming jeans with the original seam

I can almost never find a pair of jeans that fit my height, eh. I seen this tutorial online before but wanted to make my own. If your framiliar with a sewing machine it is so easy.
So heres the jeans before..

 

Next your gunna want to fold them upwards as if your cuffing the bottoms. Then pin all the way around the leg.

 

after measuring the length you want off and folding and pinning your gunna want to start sewing around the pant leg, make sure you dont sew the two pant legs together though. sew along the hem line as closely as possible.

 

After sewing around all sides it should look like this

 

See the top brown colored stitch is the original and mine is the smaller brown one on the bottom. Next you can cut the excess if you want I did because It felt kind of bulky on the bottoms with the excess jean material

 

Taaaa daaaaa! Yay for being short.

 

Oh and excuse my lovely christmas socks. Grandmas always give the best gifts.

 

 

ugly pillow cover up

So I found these hideous pillows in my basement and thought they needed a makeover so I made a tutorial for (super) EASY pillow covers.
Youll need a sewing machine, fabric and a pillow to cover.

 

Step 1: To get the size youll want to lay a piece of fabric down and then lay the pillow on top cut down the side and then flip the pillow so its doubled and keep cutting untill the size is twice the size of the pillow.

 

Step 2: Grab one short side of the fabric and fold it over a few centimeters and start sewing. I used a heart stitch you could really use anyone you choose

 

Step 3: Sew down both sides of the short ends leaving a third of a inch or so at the end

 

Step 4: Your gunna want to lay your fabric out Print side up then fold each end into eachother like shown.

 

 

Step 5: Showing how you want it folded to begin to sew

 

Step 6: Sew a straight line all the way down both of the sides that have not been sewn yet (the top and bottom of the pillow case)

 

Step 7: Trim all excess fabric around the sewn edges

 

Step 8: Turn inside out and insert pillow
