Question
I always have to hem up my pants since I am on the short side. How do I know
to what length to hem them?
HI Joan,
you put the pants on and have a friend mark where you want the new hem to be.
or
you get a pair that has the length you want and measure the length and then measure the length of the new ones and mark the difference for the new hem.
