Thank you.

I wonder if this is how you’d do pants for a growing boy. These are nylon, lined and the first attempt gave me puckers (I didn’t cut them off tried a growth tuck of about 3 inches, disastrous results) and holes where the unsewing came in.

I am trying to find out where I can locate a simple guide to what length men’s pants should be, i.e. the front should brush the top of the shoe, the back should land just above the heel? Where can I find such information?

Thanks for your help,

Hey thanks!
I’m an artist and have always bungled hemming but I did it your way and I’m
dancing around the kitchen- more proud of my hemmed pants than my latest
sculpture-

Hi! I am currently fixing 2 pairs of pants for a workmate and when I first did them we left them a little too long and I have now cut them too short (before I do the hem even!) I feel like a twit! How can I fix this? I still have the material that I have cut off and was contemplating a cuff on the bottom of the pants… Please help!
