Steps:

1. Press the pyjamas with an iron to ensure there are no creases.

4. The left line indicates the desired length line.
5. The right line indicates the one inch line for the new hem you'll be creating.

6. Use scissors to remove fabric below the lower one inch line created from the chalk marks to shorten the length. Do this for each pant leg.

7. Take a needle and about 30 inches of thread and put the thread through the needle, then immediately tie the thread off.
8. Be careful with the needle as minor injury may occur if not handled carefully.

9. Fold the pyjama from the one inch extra line so the desired length is achieved, and then hem with the needle.
10. The needle needs to pass through both layers of the folded fabric to start the hemming process.
11. Do this for each pyjama leg.
12. There should be at least 45 stitches on each pyjama leg.

13. At the end of the hem, take the needle through the thread three times to secure the stitch.
