It may just be me, but does anyone else have a hard time with Levi's being too long? As I was getting all my winter clothes out, I found a pair that I hardly wear because they are just too long. So I decided to use this new hemming method I found.
Measure your desired inseam. I like a 30 inch inseam because it hits perfectly below my ankle bone.
Cut off the unwanted length. I know you might be thinking you need a couple of extra inches to fold up and sew, but hold on and I will tell you the cool trick. So, go ahead and cut at the exact length you like.
Now, you know that really cool bottom seam of levi's? The one with the gold stitching that is really hard to mimic? Cut that off your scrap. Do not cut right up to the edge, but leave a scant :) or 1/4inch for sewing.
Now pin that original hem around the bottom of your levi's. Sew right sides together.
Last, iron seam down and you are done!
brilliant....YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!
