Emergency Hemming With Staples |
|
|
I bought a last minute pair of thrift shop jeans when I found I went off for a weekend without them. New $5 - good deal. But they were too long and I didn't have needle and thread with me. My crafty husband suggested I staple the hems up and you know, the silver color of the staple doesn't really show against the jeans much at all. I'll do that again.

i agree it does work in a pinch. BUT i work with a doctor mind you who has either taped or stapled ALL of her clothing together. i have never seen her wear something that wasnt just holding together with some kind of help from staples or tape.

How ingenious! You have a real "gem" of a husband, I'd say. Thanks for sharing this very good tip.

I did this all the time my three sons were growing up. If I hemmed the jeans, every time I had to wash them, I had to rip and re-sew. By stapleing them, I just took the staples out, washed them and re-stapled them - with the long solid part of the staple on the inside.
