The Making of a Memory Bear

Another quick and easy how-to on hemming pants/jeans. The best part is no one will know what you did! Your pants will look like you bought them that way!

YOU’LL NEED:

• The pants
• Sewing machine
• Thread
• Scissors
• Iron

HOW-TO:

Measure the length you want the pants to be. Remember measure twice, cut once.

Turn the piece you cut off inside out. Pin to the bottom of the pants.

Sew along the hem using the same color thread.

Cut the excess material off.

Turn right side out.

Iron to lay flat.

WEAR!!!
