All of my children are vertically challenged in some way. What this means? It is HARD to find pants. Normally, pants that fit in the length do no fit in the waist (because usually they are too small) and pants that fit in the waist are too long in the length. As i’ve learned in all of my years shopping for clothes for myself — a size 8 at one store is not the same at another store. As different brands of jeans fit differently, I have yet to find the perfect brand for each of my children. So, they are stuck with pants that do fit in the waist, but need to be french rolled a couple of times to fit lengthwise. If you are currently using this method to “hem” your children’s pants or even your own pants, then you know that this solution really sucks long term.
Alas! To all of my friends who are sewing-challenged I have found a way! I call it the “No-Sew method”. I’m not the first to coin this phrase, so i’m sure if you Google it, you will find it used all over the internet.
So, what is the “no-sew method”? The no-sew method is a way of achieving hems for your pants with out sewing!
What you wil lneed:
- Fusible tape (they have many options. For lightweight fabrics, you will want to choose a lightweight tape and for heavy fabrics, you will want to choose a heavyweight tape). You can find this at your favorite crafty store.
- Fabric glue (for extra hold)
- An iron
