How to Cut the Bottom of Your Pants
- 1). Put on the pants. Check the bottom of your pants and decide where you would like to cut off the excess fabric. Place a safety pin at the point where you would like to cut the bottom of the pants.
- 2). Measure the distance from the bottom of the pants to the pin using a ruler. Measure and mark the point on the other pant leg with some tailor's chalk so you will have the same length. Mark the point with the safety pin with tailor's chalk and remove the pin.
- 3). Cut off the ends of both pant legs using sewing scissors.
- 4). Sew along the edge of the hem using a sewing machine or a thread and needle. Fold the hem up 1/2 inch to 1 inch and sew it in place using a sewing machine or a thread and needle.
