HOW TO SHORTEN and HEM PANTS with a Sewing Machine – Fast & Easy

I am going to show you how to shorten and hem pants with Singer sewing machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). It is fast and simple to do. With the need to return to the office, I bought 9 pairs of new wrinkle free performance pants ( https://amzn.to/3HXnQqo ) , however they are too long for me. I needed to shorten and hem them but my local shop was closed.

In this video my Mom taught me how to shorten and hem pants in the fast and easy way using aThread Kit for Sewing ( https://amzn.to/3leLqoN ) and her Singer sewing machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). It takes about 20 minutes per pair of pants to shorten. The first one took an hour learning.

HOW TO: CONDITION LEATHER – EASY DIY – Keeping my 15 Year old leather jacket from DRYING OUT

HOW TO: CONDITION LEATHER – I kept my 15 Year old leather jacket from DRYING OUT and cracking by conditioning the leather every 8 – 12 months with Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( https://amzn.to/3FmqUKC ). I show you how I have been doing it for my trusty leather jacket.

NOTE: If you love your leather jacket or apparel, then bring it to a professional leather cleaner to have it properly cleaned and conditioned. Use this info at your own risk. I have been conditioning my leather jacket for over 15 years, you should bring your jacket or leather to a professional.

The leather conditioner adds oils to the leather to keep it supple. After drying, the surface of the leather is not greasy. Its super easy to use and apply. It takes about a day or two completely dry after being absorbed by the leather. Keeping leather supple prevents leather from drying out and cracking.

Stuff used in this video:
Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( https://amzn.to/3FmqUKC )
Microfiber towel ( https://amzn.to/3DLP5l9 )

  1. I usually clean my leather with a moist warm microfiber towel ( https://amzn.to/3DLP5l9) to wash off any dirt off the leather. I dont use soap. Just water. and dry off with microfiber towel.
  2. Let the leather surface is dry.
  3. Shake the Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( https://amzn.to/3FmqUKC ) well and apply to microfiber cloth.
  4. Test the conditioner on a small area hidden area of the leather to see if how the product reacts to the surface (color change, texture, smell). If test results are good, then continue.
  5. Shake to mix, and apply to towel.
  6. Work on one leather panel at a time for consistency.
  7. Wipe on a thin coat to let it absorb into the leather.
  8. Wipe off excess.
  9. After applying to entire piece, let dry and review for missing spots or extra dry or flexible leather areas (shoulders, under arm, pipping )that need conditioner for added suppleness.
  10. Review the next day if second or third coat is needed for color consistency or more leather suppleness.

Repeat every 6-12 months depending on leather condition.

I have been using Miracle Gro water soluble Bloom Booster – flower food ( https://amzn.to/3f7NbA9 ) and all purpose Plant Food ( https://amzn.to/3tsF86k ) and my Ortho Dial N Spray hose end sprayer ( https://amzn.to/3o0waw3 ) to fertilize my front and back gardens. I am getting great blooms. I wanted to do more “morning dew” shots with water on the flowers and petals so I got this mist sprayer.

This sprayer is an airless pump design that uses all the liquid in the reservoir and can be sprayed UPSIDE DOWN. This is great for hard to reach places. The handle pressure has very low fatigue with the pressure pump system.

Overall I am happy with the simple use and the fine mist it produces.
