Trouser Hem, arrrggghhhh
15 Answers
One for the ladies probably. The hems on my trousers keep falling down, now I can sew but it's a painful process and the results are not very impressive. Is there a modern solution? Ie something that takes hems up quickly and efficently, probably iron on or something? And if there is where do I get it? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

one for the ladies.... have you ever wondered why most professional tailors are men? hmmm?
Wundaweb tape is the way to go - don't buy the cheaper ones, get the branded one. You can get it in Woolies, John Lewis, most habadashery stores and some good supermarkets. Don't touch the cheapo market stall stuff with a bargepole.
Or, you could always ask your dry cleaners to sew your hems up - they do repairs.
