Thank you for this guide! The only thing I am uncertain about is how determine a good length for the pants. I read in another guide that it would be good to measure with shoes on. So that the pant leg grazes the shoe. Can you recommend the same?

Vielen lieben Dank für diese ausführliche Anleitung.

Die Beschreibung ist sehr gut erklärt und anhand der Fotos kann man sich ein besseres Bild davon machen.

Meine Jeans hat nun die richtige Länge und ich bin sehr stolz auf mein Meisterwerk. :)
