Introduction
If you've got pyjamas with pant legs that are a bit too long, there's no need to worry. This guide demonstrates how to easily shorten them, with no sewing experience or sewing machine necessary!
-
-
Take some fabric chalk and measuring tape, then measure the desired length and then make marks on each leg as follows:
-
The left line indicates the desired length line.
-
The right line indicates the one inch line for the new hem you'll be creating.
-
-
-
Use scissors to remove fabric below the lower one inch line created from the chalk marks to shorten the length. Do this for each pant leg.
-
-
-
Take a needle and about 30 inches of thread and put the thread through the needle, then immediately tie the thread off.
-
-
-
Fold the pyjama from the one inch extra line so the desired length is achieved, and then hem with the needle.
-
The needle needs to pass through both layers of the folded fabric to start the hemming process.
-
Do this for each pyjama leg.

Congratulations; you did it!

It is a great and clear repair guide! You shot good photos for every step. Your actions were all well-captured in the photos by using the flip-book style. Properly use of markup also made the guide easier to understand. Also, all the instructions described the actions clearly so it is easy to follow.
Great work!
