How to hem jeans

Ever wondered how to hem jeans?

I think most people are scared to do it because they have flashbacks to some kid in 5th grade whose mom hemmed his jeans. And they screamed “HIS MOM HEMMED HIS JEANS!”

Don’t be scared.

It’s way easy…just one straight line.

Awesome tutorial with pics here.

See? You can barely tell they’re hemmed.

This particular pair is for a customer at my sister’s store. Go see her if you want your own pair.

    I've done this! and it really is so completely and utterly easy – and really does look great!

  2. How did I not know about this before? Seriously. I have 3 pairs of pants waiting to be hemmed to 28 inches. For some reason they don't make 28" pants unless you're a 12-year-old. Sheesh. Thanks for the info!

  3. I wish I needed to hem my jeans- I need to find out how to lengthen them and have them still look good! Jean choices are so limited when you have long lanky legs.

  8. OK I totally hemmed my jeans. I am 5'3" and for some reason I didn't buy SHORT jeans once. They fit at the waist so what was I to do?

    I told my husband about 47 times yesterday "did I mention I hemmed my jeans" He wasn't as impressed as I was.

    Thank you for your craftyness. My short little legs look fantastic.
