I've been meaning to post a link to this tutorial on hemming jeans for months, but I'm just now getting around to it.My jeans are always too long, so they always get raggedy on the bottom. But I've never hemmed them because it just doesn't look the same as the original hem. But then I found this method of hemming jeans that kept the original hem. And it's so simple! The whole thing took about 10 minutes.
So, without further ado, here's the post: How to Hem Jeans.

This is really cool. I saw you do hem a pair of jeans while we were visiting and couldn't believe how easy it was and how good it looked. I've been sewing over 40 years and had never seen this done.
guess that should have been 'I saw you hem a pair....
I too was quite impressed with this little trick when I saw it in action.
