My mom became a fantastic hemmer as I was growing up. Don't worry about feeling small. You tower an entire inch over my mother. The Weakonomist’s last blog post..Weaky #11: Sweet Home, Nigeria

I love this clever idea! My friend has this problem with her growing daughter too. I had the opposite problem. My oldest was in the 5% for height, so 95% of kids his age were taller than he was. We were always rolling up his jeans. He's now 20 and is about 5'7". momstheword’s last blog post..ARE YOU WAITING TO BE FINANCIALLY RESCUED?

That’s a really cute idea. I actually have some eyelet on hand. I may try this. Thanks!

Another solution that could get you through the winter and could really look cute, is to add a bit of eyelet cotton ruffle to the bottom of her pants. You could either buy this at a fabric store (it comes in various widths.) Or make ruffles yourself out of fun kids fabrics. If you don't like ruffles... add a "cuff" out of fabric. You could then make a matching tee by taking one of her existing t-shirts and appliqueing on a patch of the fabric or adding a strip of it to the bottom of the sleeves and around the neck.
