Well I finally broke down and bought a sewing machine. My kid,
although fitting into 18 month pants for his waist, can't fit the
pants for the length. So I bought the machine in order to hem his
pants. Well the trouble is that the opening at the hem is narrower
than the swing arm so I can't slide it over the arm and sew in a
circle.

Does anyone know a trick to doing this?

Sew the hem on the underneath layer, pushing the top layer out of the
way. (I hope that's clear)
