Not a MAJOR Refashion

My DD inherited these lovely GAP jeans a couple of years ago and has worn them non-stop. She lived in them on our camping trips last summer and now, whilst they're a great fit over her cute bottom, they are simply too short.

She wore a hole in the knee so I folded the jeans in half, drew a line above the hole and cut straight across both legs (thus making sure they were the same length right?).
I then folded each leg twice over into a cute turn-up and put a couple of stitched through the side seams to hold, and this neat trick I just learned with turn-ups ... you put a little cross stitch through all but the very front layer which holds the turn up in place but is invisible from the outside. I wish I had thought of this or known about it a looooooonnnng time ago.
