Introduction
If your flared corduroy pants are too long here is the guide for you! This guide will use simple hand stitching techniques and few sewing materials to raise the hem of your pants to your desired length. You may have been experiencing heel bite or damage to the bottom of your pants; or maybe they are just too long. This guide will help you fix your pants while keeping the professional look of the original hem. This guide only requires basic sewing knowledge. Because of the specific cut and fabric of the pants, tailoring can often be expensive, but this guide will walk you through how to do it all on your own.

Sew close, using the backstitch, to create the new hem. Remove the pins as you go.
