How to Sew a Permanent Cuff Pants Hem
As a short person, I am often hemming my pants. Sometimes I will even leave a pair of jeans a little long because I like the way they look with a turned up cuff. This habit has taught me that exposing my ankle makes me look more polished and dare I say a bit taller? I also really love the look of the weight of a turned cuff rather than a simple hem.
Today I am going to be sharing my tutorial of how to get that clean cuffed look without showing your seam allowances. This is a permanent cuff method that will leave your pants cuffed at all times and keep you from having to constantly roll them up.

How to Print Your Size in A Layered PDF Pattern

That means you can easily “de-select” all sizes except you own. So when you print your pdf you are only looking at one line to cut from. It cant get any easer! Often this saves you time as well. You do need Adobe Reader to use this feature so be sure to download it here. And watch this short video on how to de-select layers once you’ve opened your pattern in Adobe reader:
