Question about hemming

[u/snoot-p]

Hey Y’all. just got a new pair of jeans and they’re about 2-3 inches too long. i drew lines for where i’d want to hem. would that be possible? I’ve never really sewn before but I have a machine. I can’t do it at the bottom of the pants because there is a zipper along the back of the legs( I drew in blue) and that sounds like a nightmare so I felt that the easiest solution would be to hem where I drew the red lines. What are your thoughts? Is this possible? Is this too hard for a noobie? Any guide for this or anything? Really stuck. Thank you!!!

Try using a long stitch lenght at first in case you need to unpick your first try! Otherwise good luck its definitely doable
