Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Are you tired of pant legs that are too long and get caught under your shoes, causing you to trip or stumble? What if I told you all you needed was some double-sided fabric tape, iron or press, and a ruler to hem up those pants?

First, you want to try on the pants that need hemming.

-
Use a washable chalk marker to mark where you want the pant leg to come up to.
-
-
-
Use an iron or press to create a fold or crease in the pants to the desired length marked by the chalk.

-
Creating a fold or crease will help keep your pant length the same on all sides.
-
-
-
Place the double-sided fabric tape on the edge of the pant legs.
-
I used a total of 4 - 1/2"x3" strips for each pant leg.
-
-
-
-
Press firmly for about 10 seconds on the tape to make sure it sticks to the pant leg.
-
-
-
Press firmly on all sides of the pants for about 10 seconds to make sure the tape adheres to all sides.
-
-
-
Try on the pants one last time to make sure they are the desired length to prevent you from tripping over them.
-
-
You don't need a sewing machine to hem a pair of overly long pants.
