How to save a buck

Remember how I mentioned that I really don’t sew?  Well, even I might be able to do this.  You know how you buy jeans, and they’re too long, but if you cut them off and hem them, they look — well, as if you cut them off and hemmed them?  If you take them to a tailor, you can have them professionally done, and they have some sort of trick where they keep the original hem on so they don’t look funky.  Don’t ask how, it’s a mystery!  Or rather, it was a mystery, until today.  I found a fabulous little tutorial that finally describes the process in a way my non-seamstress brain can understand.

It’s pure brilliance.  Go read all about it at Holy Craft.    Then save yourself some cash and hem your own jeans!
