In sewing terms shortening pants is called hemming. Not all pants are hemmed the same way.
This course includes tutorials for shortening 5 different types of pants.

· Hemming a pair of dress slacks that have a slit at the bottom
· Shortening a pair of pants using the blind hem stitch on the sewing machine
· Hemming athletic pants with a zipper at the hem

All hems will require basic knowledge of the sewing machine, one of the alterations also includes some basic hand stitching.
Shortening pants is practical on many levels. For example, if you are petite and have trouble finding pants that are the right length this gives you the option to buy pants that are regular length and just shorten them. Also, if you like to thrift or pass hand me downs through a growing family, you might frequently need to hem for children.
Too often clothing sits unused or is tossed because it doesn’t fit right (in this case is too long). This class will help you learn a lifelong sewing skill that will keep your clothing in the cycle of wear.
Additionally if you want to make a little money on the side, you could bring in some income by hemming pants for others once you learn to perfect the skill.
