First I mark the finished hem length, in this example 40 mm, parallel to the raw edge on the right side of the fabric. You can see how wide the turn-in is on your pattern by the distance between the side notches and the hem.

Here&#8217;s a general tip: I like to use my wooden brush as an aid and place it on the ironed edge. The wood draws the heat and moisture out oft he fabric,\u00a0which makes the folded edge stay nice and flat. [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5426&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5427&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Now iron the double fold in place.

So I tap it flatter with a hammer. I put a firm pad underneath and cover it with a piece of fabric. Then I hit the spot a few times from the inside.

It&#8217;s just a little more awkward because you have to turn the trouser leg more often when pressing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Topstitch_hem\"><\/span>4.

Therefore I topstitch it with 2 mm less width, i.e. with 18 mm distance from the edge with contrasting coloured thread on the right fabric side. The stitching distance from the finished hem depends on the width of the hem fold, as described above.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5434&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;
