Every housewife should know how to hem pants, because it is much faster and cheaper to do this at home than to carry long pants to the seamstress. In addition, it is not necessary to have a sewing machine for this!
Method 1
There are several ways to hem pants. To do this with a sewing machine is easy. But here you can also do things differently. So, the first method is the simplest. To do this, you need a centimeter tape to measure everything well, a remnant for marking the places of bending and cutting, scissors, as well as a sewing machine. First you need to correctly measure the length of the trousers, which should remain after cutting. It is very important to do everything correctly so that the lengths of both legs are equal. After that, the unnecessary part must be cut off. From the fold line, it is important to leave about one and a half to two centimeters of fabric on the bend along which the line will be laid. So that the edge of the trousers does not crumble, it must be overlaid. To do this, you can use both a real overlock and an overlock foot-nozzle, which imitates the desired seam. But if there is no such paw, it does not matter, you can always use the thick zigzag! Then it remains only to lay a line that fits the leg.
Method 2
This option of how to hem trousers is somewhat similar to the previous one, but until the moment the hostess is ready to process the edge. In order not to do this, you can double bend, that is, first tuck and stitch the edge of the trousers, and then tuck and lay a line at a distance of about 1 cm from the edge. The result will be no less beautiful and reliable.
Method 3
The first two methods described above, professional seamstresses would call "lazy." But you also need to know how to properly hem men's pants . For this you need to additionally use the braid. Before sewing on trousers, it must be decaturized. After all, if this is not done, after washing it will shrink and pull off the trouser fabric. How to prepare the braid: it is necessary either to iron it well with a hot iron with a steamer, or simply hold it for a certain time in hot water. Next, the braid is attached to the trousers. Some experts advise doing this exclusively on the back of the trousers, some - all over the circle. Here the mistress decides for herself. It is worth noting that the denser side of the ribbon must be sewn to the bottom of the leg. Further, the trousers are hemmed with a secret “goat” seam. Pants are ready, but the seam is not even visible!
Method 4
It is also worth talking about how to hem pants with a tape that sticks. To do this, you do not need to use either sewing machines or even needles. It is only necessary to purchase a special sizing tape for filing pants in the store. Further, having measured the required length, the trousers are simply glued from the inside. To do this, it will be necessary to use only an iron, with the help of steam the glue that is applied to the tape is melted and glues the fabric. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the legs are shortened both by trimming, and just bending the leg. That’s all, the trousers have acquired the necessary length, and you know how to hem pants. But it is worth noting that this method is the least reliable, since over time the tape has the ability to peel off, and it will need to be re-glued.
