How to Blind Stitch Men's Pants
If you need to adjust the leg length on a pair of men's pants, you should know how to create a blind stitch hem. This sewing technique creates an invisible, neat hem that will give your men's pants a tailored look. Blind stitching is simple enough for beginning sewers to master with ease, and it's an essential stitch for both casual and serious sewers.

1
Fold the hem to create your desired pant leg length and pin into place.
-
2
Thread a needle with sewing thread that coordinates with your pants. The closer you can match the thread to your fabric, the more invisible your blind stitch will be.

Begin sewing the hem at the pant leg's side seam. Beginning under the folded hem, push your needle through to the front. You should sew right along the hem's upper edge.

4
Pick up a tiny section of your pants front with the needle's tip and feed your length of thread through. Gently pull to create a firm stitch with even tension.

5
Sew into the hem's top edge and a tiny section of the men's pants front every half inch.

6
Check your tension as you sew; slowly pull the thread through each stitch tightly enough to secure your hem in place, but not so tightly that your fabric begins to pucker.

7
Sew until you reach the point at which you began stitching. Tie a knot and clip the tail.
