Jeans Too Long, Keep the Original Hem
August 23, 2008
So, you bought these great pair of jeans, they fit great, but they are too long. You want them altered to fit you, but, you want to keep the original hem, you know, the yellow thread, the nice factory pressed hem, well, I’ve got the place…or the lady, so to speak.
The Jeans Lady is Margaret Stott. She’s really good at what she does. You can check out her stuff at her website www.thejeanslady.com…you’ll see.
Not only does she alter hems, but she does some other cool stuff too. She’s go this thing she does, “Senior Overalls” which at first I thought, “OK, yeah, old people wear overalls…I guess there’s some sort of hemming or something…”
Well, it’s not those kind of senior…it’s the school kind of seniors. This is probably quite obvious to most of you…I feel silly now.
She showed me one that she was working on and it was really cute. Man, this lady knows “cute”.
So, the way I know her is I designed and built her website, and I took most of the pictures for the website…I also did some flyers and her business cards. She’s been posting her flyers around with those little tar off phone numbers around town, so you might start seeing them.
She also does this great thing to T-Shirts…she turns them into dresses. They are really cool. She also alters them to “fit” better than a T-Shirt…check out her site…there are some great pictures on there.
Well, anyway, The Jeans Lady is one of the sweetest ladies I know, and she’s really good at what she does.
She also creates towel wraps with velcro fastener and matching flip-flops, monogrammed koozies, monogrammed backpacks, and I’m sure she’s got all sorts of other ideas she’ll offer in the next few months.

KELLIE LEWIS (who operates NORTHGATE VINTAGE and runs her own company/store MATERIAL, which is shared floor space) does great seam work!
she hems jeans keeping the original bottom hem among other great sewing work such as the famous aggie-dresses converted from t-shirts.
check her out.
the store is above pita pit on northgate (university drive), sharing the second floor with the corner bar and the barber shop.
