Or if you're in between inseam sizes, you have to choose between jeans that are a bit too long or a bit too short. Either way, you're faced with jeans that are the wrong length or the expense of taking them to the tailor.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to shorten your jeans and keep the original hem to give it a professional finish. Traditional hemming calls for cutting off the excess fabric and re-hemming the bottom. In jeans, that causes the hem to lose the signature distressed and worn in look of most denim hems. It then becomes quite obvious that the jeans were altered. I'm going to show you how to keep the hem so that the jeans look as close to the original as possible. Even the underside of the jeans will have a clean finish, so if you still wanted to wear your jeans cuffed (for fashion rather than necessity), you could still do that.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\nBefore I get to the tutorial, I want to let you know I have \u003ca href\u003d\"http://skl.sh/2jUsTRf\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003efilmed a version of this tutorial\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/b\u003e and published it on Skillshare.
