I bought these American Eagle jeans about a year ago and I just hadn't gotten around fixing the hem.
Knowing my previous bloopers, I made sure to measure twice before cutting and testing the fit....buuuuut I still managed to cut too much! I was so upset, my heart sank when I saw how short the hem was, I had ruined my pants!! ....well, not exactly. Thankfully, you can still save your pants! I hope this helps!
This is what I originally cut! :/
So I decided to run the actually hem in the overlock machine...
...and basically sew it back on!
Then unfold...
Iron...
Et viola! ...can you tell?
