How do you shorten the hem of cuffed pants?
This a pain, but here's how you do it. First remove the cuff. If it's a turn up cuff, then release the stitches holding it in place. This includes the tacking at the seams, and the hem stitching. If it's a sewn on cuff, clip the stiches, and lay the cuff aside. Then measure the pants and cut them to length, reserving 1/2 inch for seam allowances. Reattach the cuff if it is sewn on. If you must make a new cuff from the material of the pants, leave two inches extra to the pants. Turn the cuffs under 1 1/2 inch, and hem. Then flip the cuff up and out over the length of the pants and tack the cuff at the seams. Iron and wear.
