I pinned them at the length he picked.
I changed one leg of the pins so that original hem was pinned at the desired length.
(then I pinned the other to match. Keep the second pinned as a reference while you adjust the first leg!)
I put a zipper foot on to get the stitches as close as I could. A zipper foot is not necessary.
sew sew sew - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - take the pins out as you go!
Here it is, all sewn up. Where is the new seam? Right?
It's there.
I kind of regret cutting the material, but for how much it was shortened, it seemed kind of necessary to get rid of the extra bulk.
(If you used a zipper foot DON'T FORGET to put a regular foot back on.)
Fold the original hem down and iron.
After ironing the fabric, I sewed the sig-zagged part of the pants surgery above the hem seam (inside). In simple straight stitch in a color that didn't really stand out.
