My fave pair of pajama pants has really started to come undone recently. I've had them since before uni, so from around 2018. They lived through a lot so I really wanted to finally give them some repairs.
As you can see the hems are destroyed: holes and tears! Luckily the pants are quite long so it was possible to totally cut off the ripped portions and have enough for a small seam. I did this on a sewing machine with my mum's help but totally forgot to take pics of the process! So here's sort of how it went.
1.I cut the ripped parts off in a straight line, so the length of each pant leg was the same.
2. I folded the bottom hem twice to make thin seams.
3. I did a temporary stitch to just keep the seam in place and of equal size all around.
4. I took it to the machine and went over the temporary stitch with a proper back-stitch. Then I removed the temporary stitch. Voila!
I also added a very basic patch from the leftover textiles to the butt of the pants where there was a random hole. And so the pants live on, to many more comfy years!
