Hemming Jeans.

i have my grandmother's sewing machine.
which does not make me a seamstress.
so far, i like easy projects.
but, when my friend jen needed to hem her husband's jeans, we decided to try it.

we weren't sure how to do it, so they didn't look homemade-ish.
and so that he would still like to wear them.
luckily jen is braver than i am.
and after we asked dr. google, she took the plunge.

here are a couple of links we looked at to figure out how to hem his jeans.

you can't tell she hemmed the pants.
and now her husband can wear them!
bring on the next project.
