Burda Style For people who sew
Step 12
Finished! The leg will curve to the back but it will look surprisingly straight when the jeans are worn. Isn´t it amazing where 1 1/2 inches (8cm) on extra-length just disappheared! And no cutting needed. So... If I ever wanted to open the darts up again to add length, it is possible! I use only one dart (sewn to hem) if I need to shorten the denim 1/2 inches (3cm) from the back, but leave the front un-touched.

This is such a great idea – thank you for sharing! I’ve been cutting off legs for years! Is it possible to do this if front of leg is too long too- ie: add another dart to the front leg hem?

This is really nifty! I always have this problem and this is a super alternative to hemming. Thanks!
