This week Chris & EllieĀ show us how to shorten and finish the hem on a pair of trousers by hand.
Ā
TheyĀ use two different stitchesĀ with a contrasting coloured thread, so you can see how neat the inside of the trousers look once finished. This technique is also great to use on skirts and dresses too.
By taking a few moments to mend one of your garmentsĀ and giving it a second life, you can not only preserve yourĀ favourite items but also help keep textiles out of landfill.
Ā
