Sew the Hem

Turn Pants into Capri's

Stitch up the hem.

Using a needle and thread, or sewing machine, sew an 1/8" away from the bottom of the hem, all the way around.

Sew the top of the hem, 1/8" from the top.

Now that your capri's are finished, try them on in the mirror and check to see how fabulous you look. Try wearing a neck tie belt with these for a funky look.
