I am also 5'2 and rarely have found jeans that are the perfect fit (lengthwise especially). I too have been mulling over the option of making my own jeans. I know what you mean, Rachel!

I'm only 5'2", but I have a huge ass, so jeans off the rack are usually way to long for me! (I've got a fresh pair pinned up and ready for hemming next to me right now, coincidentally). Plus, I'm 20 and the younger jeans I see are so incredibly low wasted, bending over tells everyone behind me what color underwear I'm wearing. More mature bottoms, especially shorts that fit me are so painfully dull... I am rambling.
