If you are like me you have the short girl problem of jeans never fitting. I buy the short size in store and they are still always an inch or two too long. I came across a Pinterest post a while back about how to hem jeans and keep the original hem. This grabbed my interest because I hate the look of hemmed jeans that cut off the original hem, which results in me just walking around with too long of jeans and tearing up the bottoms.
I really wanted to find an old pair of jeans to try this on in case I messed it up. Luckily I found a pair of Calvin Klein Jeans in good shape at Goodwill and they were perfect for my experiment. I found the link and the time today to try it and it worked really well. You can tell you hemmed them but anyone looking at you shouldn't have a clue. I've included the link below. This blogger really explains the process well:
