How to shorten a jeans cheaply?

VeryMan

hello guys, I want to shorten a jeans and they charge me here in Basildon £9!!! That's a steal considering the jeans costs £15. Is there any solution for this? thanks!

Double sided tape, couple of pounds and plenty left for many more pairs.

Go to your local haberdashery and they will help you, woolworths stocked it but that was a long time ago. Our local Factory shop also sells it and all you do is iron it on. Turn up the hem to where you want it to be, place the tape between the inside hem and your jeans and apply heat.

Would it not have been simpler just to buy the jeans in the correct length ?

I got some of that iron-on tape from the £shop.
