Could someone please hem my pants?
They are dragging on the floor and it is annoying.

I thought they would be ok, but apparently I was wrong.

1. Might I suggest Stitch Witchery?
It's a 1/4" fusible (iron-on) bonding web for zippers, seams, trims, pockets & celtic bias.

I know for a fact that it works for hems (for a while, anyway). ;)

6. Tape is a great temporary fix, but

you might want to buy a needle and some thread --it's really not rocket science, or even darning socks!
:-)
on edit: advise from another "old mom" (with applause to SoCalDem for her enlightened thread)!

8. Ah, the danger of making that decision --
is the question for real -- or not.
My apologies for making the wrong choice! Too early in the AM for me to recognize a joke, I guess.
