To hem a pair of pants, first use a ruler or tape measure to measure both cuffs and pin them to the length you want. Next, iron the cuffs, measure 1 ½ inches from the bottom of the pants, and unpin the cuffs. Then, before you start hemming, use pinking shears to cut off any excess fabric past the 1 ½ inch mark, and turn the cuffs under so they won't be seen. Finally, pick some thread that matches your pants and use a sewing machine or hand sew the cuffs about ½ an inch from the hem.
