Hem Your Jeans: Machine & Hand

 Just a single fold and a few straight-line stitches would do the trick.

1

Measure the length you need to shorten from the original hem of the jeans and draw a straight line. 

2

Next, measure the width of your original hem.

3

Draw another line above the previous one, at a distance equal to the width of your original hem. Continue drawing the line, all around.

4

Put a pin just above the original hem.

5

Fold the hem up, lining up the pin with the line at the top.

6

Take care to line up the side seam of the fold to the original side seam of the jeans.
