-
-
Line up the seams to match on both sides.
-
Mark where you would like the new bottom of your pants to sit.
-
Using a straight edge, mark a line going down from the initial mark down to the leg of the pants.
-
-
-
After the guide lines have been drawn out, cut off the fabric marked off leaving roughly 1cm for seam allowance.
-
-
-
Thread your needle with a thread close to the color of the pants you are altering.
-
Tie the ends of the thread into a knot large enough to not go through the fabric being sewn.
-
-
-
Pull thread through the fabric and reinsert leaving about 1mm in between.
-
Insert the needle on the back side of the fabric about 1mm away from the previous stitch.
-
Insert the needle back into the initial stitch to create a backstitch.
-
-
-
Continue backstitching all around the marked line.
-
Tie off the thread once you reach the end by tying a knot into the final stitch.
