Help, oh wise ones!
Ds1'a school trousers are far too long. I need to take them up by about 10cm. I tried on one pair just folding the 10cm inwards and making a sort of big hem, which I sewed on the seam at each side, but of course it wasn't stitched in the middle so he put his foot into the pocket if spare material I created and broke it.
What's the best way to shorten trousers? I am loathe to cut the material off as I am hoping once he grows I can just lengthen them, or am I being naive that school trousers will last that long?!
Can i use one of those iron on things to hold the flap bit togethwr?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge and terminology, I am hoping someone will be able to decipher what I have written!!
