I turn the pants inside out, put them on to get a good length, pin them up to where I want them hemmed (I check with shoes and sitting down), take them off, and hand stitch the new hem with a thread color that will blend in. </p> <p>It's not too difficult to hem on a sewing machine, but the hand stitching is just so easy, and I actually like how the hem looks on dress pants. Plus, it's easy to take out and redo if the length is off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sewing-bees-shortening-pants-tutorial#post-2495610 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:09:17 +0000 winter_wonder 2495610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anyone recommend an easy tutorial for shortening pants? I've only done it once with my Grandma's supervision :) I'm a bit intimidated to work on a pair of DH's dress pants... </p>
