    buy some stilts?

    seriously, you can have them taken up at an alteration shop for like a fiver.

    or just turn them up.

    i think you can buy sticky tape stuff that will keep your jeans up without having to sew them. You maybe have to iron it to get it to stick, but no sewing!

    I only used 1 staple, and I don't think it was noticable :D

    I don't know why I did it, I just remember doing it.

    I'm not like, really weird or anything :p:lol:

    It so is too. Like, I used it, watched my trousers once and it went all shit. :|

    So I got my mum to sew them back up.

    My mum brought some of that to turn up my jeans, but it didn't work and we couldn't work out why. It kept sticking to the tea towel you put on top, or it would melt.

    Anyway, as that didn't work, my mum put a few stiches into each seam (the ones joining the back bit of the leg to the front) and then a few stiches in the middle. I didn't want her to sew all the way around, as you might have been able to see it, but if you only do a few stiches in blue (or whatever colour the jeans are), you won't be able to see anything, and it worked fine.

    If you really can't do a few stiches, then can you ask friends or family if anyone can do it?
