The hem needs to be stitched before the inseam.

To make a hem, first straighten the leg out and tuck the end of the bottom layer out of the way.

Hold the upper layer and make a fold at the notch marking the hemline.

Finger-press along the fold to set a crease.

Now, tuck the raw end of the fabric inward to make a double fold, as shown.

Secure the fold with a series of three to four pins.

Set one end of the hem under the needle and start sewing.

Reverse stitch and remove the pins one by one as they approach the needle.

Ensure that the fold is secured by the stitches from end to end.

Cut the thread and repeat the steps on the second layer of fabric.
