This two ton ball of discarded jeans was exhibited last year in China as part of the exhibit "Fashion Slave." About how many jeans I've had to alter my lifetime. I'm guessing.
But every once in awhile, someone shares a simple, obvious, truth that totally rocks everything in my universe. This may sound shallow to tall people, but Dacia Ray's post on How to Hem Jeans did just exactly that.
Dacia will teach you how to do it without cutting off the original hem - so the jeans look just the way you did when you bought them.
I tried out the technique on two new pairs of jeans yesterday. It works. If you have basic sewing skills, you can absolutely do it. I will never, ever, take my jeans back to a tailor!
Glad you found it helpful! The jeans ball is cool. They all look animated!
