Can you hem shorts

Last week I was psyched to spot a pair of shorts in my size in one of my favorite prints — She Sells Seashells.

This print is a few years old but I have a popover in the patterns and it is easily my most worn Lilly item. So, I was pumped to see these shorts. I decided to hem them and it was so simple I knew that I had to share. All you need to be able to do is sew a straight line! First I laid out the shorts with several other pairs to determine how much I wanted to shorten them by.

Look at all the other lengths of Lilly shorts! I simply used a ball point pen to mark the cut for me. Then, I tried the shorts on inside out to ensure that I liked that length before cutting.

My biggest tip for dummy proof sewing is to iron a lot. This makes it so there will be no frayed edges, even inside the shorts. From simple hemming to elaborate pleat removal.
