Default Jean hemming - when you can't use original hem

Anyone have any ideas/hints? I went looking for ideas or tutes on the internet and found that my pathetic ripped jeans seam to be "in". Here's a link to make your new jeans look like mine:

Anyways, there was a lovely link to how to hem new jeans, and since I'm short I could have used it when the jeans were new. I have the jeans (orange) thread, the heavy duty needle, a couple a older machines that like challenges - anyone hemmed jeans to make a new hem to look like original hems?
