TOO SHORT
When a garment has become too short, an attractive way of lengthening it is to add a false hem in a contrasting material. To do this, extend the pattern to the length you require. Add on a seam and hem allowance. Unpick the side seams of the garment a little way up from the hem. With right sides together, sew on the extra fabric. Finish the side seams and hem.
