Tutorial where you will learn how to shorten the hem of pants and keep the original worn fold, using a homemade sewing machine.
1. Mark and trim the fabric to adjust the desired length
2. Undo the fold and cut excess cloth.
3. Locate the piece in the ring with the rights facing and turn on with pins.
4. Sew with straight stitch 7mm from the old stitching.
5. Cut the excess cloth at the side seams to reduce the volume
6. Apply textile glue to prevent fraying
