There are certain items and materials that are suitable for resizing your  children's clothes. If you use them correctly, there is nothing to be afraid of!

Strategy 1: Easy to apply "Hemming tape"

"Hemming tape" is a handy tool when you have trouble with the length of pants or skirts.
It is useful to keep in stock.

■ Things to prepare
• Hemming tape
• Cutting scissors
• iron
(Caution) It is not suitable for items with a low temperature indication or delicate fabrics.

■ Procedure
1. Turn the clothes inside out and decide the length of the hem (it is even better if you fasten it with pins)
2. Wrap along the area where the hemming tape is to be applied. Cut into 2-3 cm lengths
3. Cut another piece of hemming tape cut in 2.
4. Steam iron (medium temperature) so that the seam margin comes in the center of the tape
5. Complete by crimping both legs
   (Caution) Depending on the fabric, it may be necessary to use a pressing cloth.

Please refer to the instructions stated on the hemming tape before applying.
The fabric may be damaged when removing the tape.

Strategy 2: Reliable "Handicraft Bond"

"Handicraft bond" is useful not only for handicraft, but also for sewing.
It is a convenient first aid item when you are in a hurry.

■ Things to prepare
• Handicraft bond
*Weight or iron for firm bond

(Caution) Not suitable for thin or rough fabrics. May leave stains on luxury clothes.

4. Wait until dry
   (Caution) Some handicraft bonds come off when washed. Check on this before purchasing.

Check the ''waist'' when choosiing pants

If you choose an item with an elastic waist, you can wear it properly by adjusting it.
Be sure to be careful not to make the waist elastic too tight.
Pants without elastic openings are difficult to adjust. Try to look for the seams.
Adjustment is possible by untieing the seams and passing a new flat band through.
There are convenient elastic bands that can be easily snapped on flat rubber. You don't even need a sewing machine or sewing tools.
