✂️How to shorten trousers at home (without a seamstress)

🔢 Steps:

1. Test and measure

  • Wear the right pants with the right shoes

  • Fold the hem to the desired length

  • Pin or mark with chalk

  • Check with the tape measure that the two sides are equal

2. Prepare the fabric

  • Cut off the excess fabric, leaving  3–4 cm  for the hem.

  • Fold inside and iron to secure the crease

3. Hand sewing

  • Sew with  hidden stitches  only on the inside of the fabric

  • Keep stitches even for a clean result

  • Secure with a final knot

4. Finishing

  • Iron again to flatten the creases

  • Make sure the length is the same on both legs

5. You’re done!

  • Pants shortened and ready to wear — without spending a cent at the seamstress!
