Introdução
During sport, the hem of your trousers or jacket sleeves may become damaged and frayed. This will often get worse if not fixed, so don't let it get to that stage! This guide is one of two options for fixing this defect, and will result in the leg/sleeve becoming shorter. If you prefer not to make the item shorter, please check the other guide: How to repair a trouser/cuff hem (without shortening).
