Jeans Hemming Tutorial for Beginners

"Learn how to hem jeans by measuring the desired length, cutting off the excess fabric, and sewing a new hem. It’s a beginner sewing project! Buying clothing from the store is great except that it fits an average measurement that doesn’t actually exist. It’s always hard to get the exact right length of jeans so it’s great to know how to hem jeans. The great thing about this hem is that it will make the hem look brand new and it won’t look faded or worn at all. This is great for nice looking jeans or if you like to cuff your hem."
