I understand what you mean. The only think I could think of is maybe trying to measure up and mark at three points. Both sides of the pants leg and center where the seem is. This way you follow the original hem line exactly if you’re seeing it’ll create a dip and curving in the hem line. Let me know if this helps.

Eureka! I have a question about step 2. I was also taught this is the proper way to lay out the legs but sometimes I have issues. If the pants are relatively straight leg, side seam to side seam (SS to SS) usually works ok. But sometimes I have issues doing it this way. I notice that sometimes when I lay the legs SS to SS, the hem edges won’t lay flush and the inseam will curve slightly up. I can see this happening a bit in your picture. I have also found this to be tricky on tapered pants because you can’t cut at a right angle to the edge of the leg which results in a v-shape at the front and back of the legs. Do you have any experience or insight on this? Appreciate you!

Thank you – I hemmed a pair of pants for my mother and (afterward) she mentioned her legs were not the same length due to hip replacement – both hips! Your information was a blessing as she has difficulty standing, walking and I needed something that would work with one fitting if I planned for it to work at all! Thank you again and again!

Thank you Pamela I’m happy to hear it was helpful. OH man I got them at the thrift stores years ago. They were like new. Looked like they were never worn. I don’t even know what brand they are since I’ve actually donated them to a friend 😀 Sorry.
