Yesterday, I hemmed my first pair of pants! I followed this tutorial on keeping the original hem on jeans to hem a pair of C's jeans that were too long, and it went perfectly. They were straight leg and I took 2 1/8" off so now they fall in a smooth line down the back of his legs and break neatly on his shoes instead of puddling and rucking up around the calves. This fit of craftiness was precipitated by an afternoon of shopping in which neither of us found anything that fit, and I decided that well, if we couldn't find anything new, then at least I could make existing clothes fit better. I can't believe I once sent my jeans to the seamstress for hemming; now, I'll do it myself!
