Got another pair of hand-me-downs from your taller or older sibling? Maybe the store didn’t stock the right length for that otherwise perfect pair of pants?

The old roll-up trick is fine if you’re beachcombing, but hardly appropriate for the office or a night out. Fixing the hem in your pants is so easy, and you can save time and money by performing this simple operation yourself.
In this series of free how to videos you’ll get expert advice on how to properly hem a pair of pants. Fashion designer Andrew Boyd takes you through the process step-by-step, from removing the old hem and getting the correct measure, to choosing the best color and thickness of the thread, as well as the right size needle, and sewing in the new hem. By following these simple video instructions you’ll never have to worry about bunched-up pant legs, or tripping over the extra fabric ever again.
