It isn't real hard. You just sew a straight seam. If you are hemming it quite a bit, you cut off a lot of the extra. Then roll it twice (so there isn't a rough edge), iron and sew. If you are just hemming it slightly, you roll it up and iron it so it stays flat, then sew the straight seam. At least that is the way mom taught me.
ETA: I can't believe I'm giving you instructions on something that I haven't done in 23 years. My mom has done all my mending since the girls were born.![]()
thanks!!

I don't think so, that's a $100 better spent for Disney.
I hemmed loads of pants in Tau Beta Sigma, for Marching Band. All of the pants were like 38 inch inseam and unhemmed. TBS kept all 300 members of the Marching Band in proper length pants. The worst was when the brand new uniforms came in and we had less then a week to fit uniforms and hem pants for everyone in the band, as they wanted to use the new uniforms for the last football game of the year. Twenty of us in TBS hemming divided by 300 pairs of pants equals many pairs in a short time because some cannot hem. Why the pants did not come with snaps like the jackets I do not know.
