(I pinned every 2 inches and measured exactly 2 1/4 at each pin).

Step 2: Sew!This is going to feel weird, but trust me!

You will place your needle next to the original hem.

You will sew RIGHT NEXT to the original hem.

Stitch on the RIGHT side of the hem (the farthest from the bottom of the jean).

Sew all the way around the folded edge.

Repeat on the other leg of the jean.

If you have trouble sewing over the seam with your machine, try using a thicker needle.

Step 3:Turn the legs of the jeans right side out.

They may fray when washed if you do cut them off.

Thats why I just iron them really well on the bottom.

Believe me, nobody will be able to tell when you are wearing your jeans.
