How to shorten jeans

Often we buy trousers, including jeans, the length of which is much longer than necessary. To shorten the trousers, you can contact the atelier, but today we will show you how to do it ourselves, because the process of shortening the trousers is not particularly difficult.
To shorten the pants to the desired length, you must first measure them. Mark the desired length with crayons or pins with a head. You may ask how to mark the correct length? I do it this way: I ask the one who shortens the trousers to move in them first, walk around so that they sit on the person in a way that suits him, then from the back on each leg I pin pins 2 - 3 mm above the floor so that the legs did not touch the floor. In front of the leg, you can not pin.
We measure 2 cm from the pins and cut off the excess fabric from the jeans leg, first from the back, then from the front, taking into account the fact that we will do the trousers in front 3-4 times shorter.
Bend the fabric inward twice, making a basting - the first time after folding 0.5 cm, the second time - after folding 2 cm.
At a distance of 1.5 cm from the edge of the product we give a line.
To fix the threads in order to prevent the stitch from loosening, you can bind by stitching back 2 cm, or you can stretch all the threads to one side and tie a knot.
At a distance of 2 mm from the first line, you can give the second line and steam the trousers. As you can see, nothing complicated.
