A solution for shortening jeans or slacks is to cut a 1 1/4 inch wide bias fabric piece, matching or coordinating with the pants. Match the pant desired length, plus 1/4 inch. Sew the bias fabric to the hem with a 1/4 inch seam and turn the hem up so 1/8th inch of the pant fabric shows on the wrong side. Turn under the bias raw edge and stitch. There won’t be a rippled effect on the tapered legs because the bias has enough give to produce a flat hem.

Crisp Seams
Sewing Tip:
To get crisp seams, ironed shoulder seams, use a 1 inch diameter dowel piece covered with a 100% cotton or wool casing. Insert this pressing tool into the shoulder and press the seams, then iron the garment flat. It is particularly useful in children’s clothing.
