So here is my cheat's guide to hemming.
Fold hem in to appropriate length. You may want to compare your un-hemmed pair against a properly hemmed pair for the right length. Attach little pins along the hem, to hold it up.
And this is how it looks:
See! Not very noticeable at all. This should do you until you find someone to alter it for you. Or you could wear heels with all your pants.
you funny lady!
ReplyDeleteBut you just stopped halfway. You just have to do a running stitch in black thread and it's finished, doing your own hemming is a big money saver.
I've actually rarely hemmed a trouser, my legs must be perfectly average. So I'm not really a money saving self-hemmer.
Love the word pianoforte.
If I only knew what a running stitch was and how to do one! We should run jelssie seminars on things like this (and that singles seminar we blogged about a while back).
ReplyDeleteWell young Elsie you may not be a professional at hemming ( I could give you lessons for a considerable fee) but you deliver a Bible reading at church most capably.For those of us with hearing problems that is of great benefit.
