Petites are too short for me, but sometimes a regular inseam is too long, and a regular old grandma hem in your jeans makes it look like, well, your grandma did it. (No offense to granny seamstresses, but if you're gonna wear jeans, y'want 'em to look like jeans, no?)
Well, God and Google have shown me the light. The "European Hem." It shortens your jeans while keeping your original hem -- with its jeans-y details -- intact. You can pay a tailor 20 bucks, or do it at home in the time it takes a Daily Show interviewee to realize this, in fact, won't help his cause and/or business.
Just wanted to share this with my fat sistahs.

It's not mentioned in the tutorial, but if you're hemming the Denim Lites, or any of the jeans with a bit of stretch, you'll want to adjust your thread and stitch accordingly.
Edited to add: mmm... shortening... *Homer drool*
