I bought a pair of jeans from Ross when we were in California last month, but they were too long. I cut off a couple of inches and sewed it with a light blue thread since I couldn't find a suitable brownish gold thread that would match the other trim thread on the jeans. I've had this problem before and ended up sewing it with a light blue thread to just match the color of the cloth.
I've been carrying around this sample piece for the past several weeks just in case.
What a surprise to actually find thread that was meant for jeans and it was the perfect color!
I found it at Longs Drugs here in Hawaii which is CVS on the mainland.
Regular thread is usually much thinner so it's not exactly like what you see on jeans. However, this thread is thicker and more similar to what you see on the rest of the jeans. Then there was the problem of getting that thicker thread through the needle hole on my sewing machine. Thank goodness I happened to have this needle threader.
The next problem I found is that because the brown thread is more contrasting, every swerve and dip you make is visible. I would have resewed it but Art said, "Who's going to look at the bottom of your pants anyway?"
If that's the case, maybe I didn't even have to get this special thread. Ah well, I'm happy. I did do a better job on the second leg so if you see me walking around town, please be sure to look at that one.
