Attention DIY junkies, petite girls and fans of well-fitting pants! You may remember our Scarves 101 video series, in which Lindsay showed us the many mod ways to tie a scarf. This week, Emily utilizes her incredible seamstress skills to enlighten us less-gifted fashionistas on the best ways to hem a pair of jeans.

Woah! I’ve seen this type of hemming before, but never really knew how to do it myself. Looks so easy peasy and AWESOME.
