If you don't have access to a sewing machine then don't use a hand running stitch like that (it won't ever look right), do some sort of invisible stitching on the inside.
Thanks, I'd worried about that. I'd watched someone on YouTube promising, "How to hand sew like a machine " and I looked at her efforts at a hem and wasn't entirely sold on the idea. Still, she was talking at the same time as stitching so I thought...well I won't be compromised and can go at my own pace. I think you're right and some sort of invisible stitch is the way to go. Trouble is, that "just pick up a few threads from the outside of the garment" seems a bit risky on a pair of jean-like pants. Would it be a weak hem? I know I said the chinos were only practice sewing - but I'd want to get it right for other trousers etc.
I looked at the images I attached and I'm sorry they're such monster sized! My bad.
