Crafty Belles: Hemming pants

Sewing can be very intimidating... Making things look store-bought takes a lot of practice! An easy way to start is by hemming a pair of pants.

First, rip out the original seam on the hem. Be gentle!

Then, find the correct length. Mine was easy - I was lengthening pants, so I just unfolded the hem and used the very bottom fold. If you're shortening the pants, you can just fold the hem up! Then, sew in a straight line.

Lastly, iron your hem! If you lengthened, it may take a wash or two to get the commercial crease out.

That wasn't so hard, was it?
