You may or may not can tell this, but I'm a shortie! Yes I'm only 5'2-5'3 or something of that nature. Really, when it under 5'5 does the exact measurement really matter anymore...lol But bringing it back on topic, store bought pants rarely ever fit my height. I usually end up with ruined hems where I've stepped on them constantly, especially when it rains. So, instead of paying for a tailor or dry cleaner to hem them, I got to work on researching how I could possibly do it. And I found several vids, pics and articles on how to do it for free at home. Cuz free is so me!!
original length, I was stepping on them...
Step 1: Fold and measure.
Pin and try on to make sure the length works before you sew.
(This I didn't do and had to resew one leg.)
I sewn the top and cut off 2 inches
Fold down and you're done
All done and a perfect fit for me!
