Blue Jean hems - an historical perspective.

 For 11 years I took in sewing, mending, and alterations to raise a little more money for us.  My "bread and butter" was hemming blue jeans for my customers.  I was thinking about that this morning and how when I was a girl, we did not hem jeans that were too long.  We just folded the hem up, like this!


This reminds me of the old adage, "The cobbler's children have no shoes."  I will happily hem jeans for other people, but for myself?  I put it off and put it off.  I've finally just returned to my roots.  :)
