As a short person who loves the look of their wide-leg pants puddling on the floor but is forced to hem them in order to walk around, this video is absolutely mind-blowing!!! I am so excited to do this with my new trousers. I am usually so sad to have to hem them just above the ground because I like when they're long and slouchy. And I'm always confused which height of shoe to choose when hemming, because it means I must always wear those shoes with those pants! I just bought 3 pairs of fairly expensive wide-leg wool trousers and I am so thrilled to find your solution!!! Your question at the end: Maybe if the crease is falling down too much, you could stitch the fabric panel halfway down as well, leaving slack above and below? This might give you two creases to fall down ☺ but perhaps with some experimenting you could make it appear natural? Maybe I will try this and report back! 😊 I had another idea for this hack- would there be a way to make a "drawstring" mechanism going vertically that could be adjusted? That way the slouching/creasing might have more support. Like if you create a fabric channel vertically (instead of the patch) and used a string/elastic to cinch the back of the pants up? The string could be secured with buttons or even a small toggle. Perhaps you would need two drawstring-channel mechanisms to get a natural slouched look. I am going to try this idea as well- but I would love to see you apply it with your superior skills! Maybe another video idea? I would be so grateful! Thank you!
I’m glad you came up with these ideas! I think the idea of hand-stitching the fabric while creating creases in the hem is excellent. If you can make sure that the hand-stitching thread isn’t visible from the front, the final result will look even better. I’ll start by creating a prototype. Currently, I’m preparing a video titled “How to Avoid Stepping on Wide-Leg Trousers.” Next, I’ll make a video incorporating kristin7762’s idea for creating natural creases in pant hems. Also, the idea of adjusting the hem with a drawstring was something I hadn’t thought of, so it was very helpful! Since this will be my first time trying a drawstring adjustment, I’ll also create a prototype and give it a try. Thank you for your assistance!
