Sewing Tutorial: Hemming Pants with Cuffs
Although I teach three Tailoring Ready-to-Wear classes on Craftsy, there are a few alterations that many students ask about that were not included in the classes. One of the most common questions: “How do I hem pants with a cuff?” Hemming cuffed pants is very simple, but its important to pay attention to the measurements or you run the risk of hemming the pants too short.
To get started these are the supplies from WAWAK SEWING you will need:
Let’s Get Started … Hemming Cuffs!
STEP 1: Mark the hem. Try on the pants and turn up each pant leg. Mark the bottom edge of the new hemline with chalk.
STEP 2: Measure the amount to be hemmed: measure from the original hemline to the chalk mark.
Designer Tip: Be sure to measure both legs, as quite often there is a difference!
