Cut the strip, remove the liner paper, and place the iron inside the fold. Fold the hem and iron around each leg to optimize the hem of the pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before you make the seamless hem, you&#8217;ll need the following ingredients:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Legs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a tape measure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A pair of scissors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An iron<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A strip of iron<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shorten a seamless hem, step by step:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start, pin the desired hem length of each of your legs.
