Put the jeans on, find where you want your jeans to lay and pin it. Easier if you can have a friend do it. Roll the jeans up so that the original hem is slightly above that mark, and pin it.

Sew right next to the original hem. You can do it by hand, but a sewing machine is MUCH better.

Cut off the excess below the hem

Without the extra fabric

Unroll and iron the hem.

Yes, if you know how to sew, it's easy to change hemlines. How is this new information?

As a seamstress - this only works if the legs of the pants are straight. Do not attempt on yo bell bottoms, homies.

Yeah, I was really confused. Just flip your pants inside out, fold to the right length, and sew. Hem done. This seems more complicated.

The point is so you can keep the original hem on the end so it doesn't look like you altered them.

When you do what I said (a normal hem), you create a new hem that looks like the original, and it's less work...
