I hem my own clothing. I enjoy it. Family members and neighbors used to bring me their things to hem. That was as a teenager. They never paid me a thing. LOL.

@Sooner I had no idea Talbots offered that service- I know Nordstrom does although I believe only on full-price items.

I've been going to an independent tailor for hemming for 20-30 years. His work is great and prices are so low that I wonder how he makes it. The last time I was there, he said he's thinking of retiring in a couple of years and my heart sunk.

I like my pants longer than ankle length, if there is enough hem to bring it down, the place I go to charges $10.00, although I haven't taken any pairs in awhile since retiring he might be charging a little more now just like everything else going up in price these days.

@ECBG Good for you. That's quite a savings.

I'm always looking for a good tailor and a better price since most of my pants need hemming. Ankle pants...YAY! They're the perfect full length for me, but I want ankle length, capris in regular size (not petite) do the trick.

When I do need hems, my cleaners has a good tailor who charges $15 for a hem. For jeans, I like the original hem removed, then shortened and that hem put back on the bottom...think they look more authentic. That costs $25. I usually try to get my jeans on sale to make up for that expense.

I don't know about ladies pants but 7 years ago my daughter's school uniform skirts always had to be altered. The skirts cost about $30 or so. Alterations were at least $20. So glad don't have to do that anymore.
