I'm average height, but long waisted, leaving little room for my legs, so pants are inevitably too short on me. I saw a post on maintaining the original hem in your jeans, and thought I'd try it. Sadly, this was my first Pinterest fail (or first that I'll admit to at least). I had trouble sewing close enough to the hem, so it just looked ridiculous. I resorted to my tried-and-true fold and sew hemming method, which means I lost the original hem, but I think it turned out fine. Who pays attention to hems anyway?
Note: I used the credited hemming method with a different project and it turned out great. In fact, maybe I'll post about that next!
