I don't see the problem either. I am short so always rolling my jeans and especially long sleeved tops. My husband always walks by and says "too bad you don't know anyone who sews" I just answer yes it is! LOL He actually cons my mom into doing most of his hemming and on some things he has sat down at the machine and done it himself.

These are your yard work / painting pants That's my excuse. I always have to cut off 6-8 inches from pants. With jeans I just sew a double stay stitch to prevent to much fraying. I do the same when they get cut in to shorts. And I do not buy dress pants for the simple reason I'd have to hem them. I feel the same about buttons -it has to be something I really love or the waistband needs a button.
