Defiitely 'darn sarf' in Kent.
Edit: Hello, I've tried to post this three times - with 3 different attachments JPEGs - and no joy. I hope you don't mind if I reply to you specifically - because the board might accept a "reply" and not a new post etc. Here goes:
Hello it's me again. I've forgotten how to reply to the right person. I remember it being a bit counterintuitive last time I was here. I'm not complaining though, I'm very thankful for any responses.
OK, I've read the label of the pants - they're Chinos - I had took them to my brother's to try for size. They are 98% cotton and only 2 % "Stretch" . The word "stretched" troubled me y'see. So, they've seen better days - they're Practice Pants. The first picture I'll post is the original hem. It is a short hem and the stitch appears to be a kind of running stitch. Is it also a Top Stitch? The second is a very crude hem stitch I did - just to see if I'd got the length right. I had, but it could do with further shortening by half a centimetre.
So, I'm between sewing machines and I'd like to try and replicate the original hem. So I'd be sewing by hand - some sort of running stitch (?) on a fabric with a very slight stretch quality to it. Any advice?
