they might be giants...

but i'm certainly not. and neither is my friend lori. at 5', she and i are not just shorter than average, but we're even shorter than what is generally considered short. but that's ok. we live our short lives proudly and pay lots of money to get our pants hemmed...

but no more! i convinced lori that i was capable of hemming her newly acquired jeans, even reusing the original hem. i mean sure, i've paid for this for 3 pairs of my jeans in my lifetime, and at $18 a pop, that's a whole lot of money. but once i got them back and inspected the legs, i realized, heck, that's so easy! but maybe i hadn't actually tried this before. but maybe my sewing machine couldn't sew something so thick... hehe but, but, but... so lori trusted me. brave soul! and guess what! i did an even better job than the tailors did on my jeans!!! here's theirs: notice the side seam through the middle of the leg doesn't necessarily match up with the side seam of the hem. come on! for $18?!? here's the worst of the 2 legs that i did:hey, at least it's close! and here's the better leg:booyah! almost exactly matched. that's the last time i get my jeans professionally hemmed! i'm even more professional! don't pity me for my height. i'll still be carded when i'm 40 and you won't!
