Fold to the right length, pin, remove, sew?

Google found: http://www.themodestman.com/how-to-hem-dress-pants/ which says pretty much this but makes it sound complicated somehow.

Might be a problem if you can't reach your feet, I guess.

When I bend-over the hem-height changes, but now that I think about it, the roll doesn't move, so it should be easy.

I put my pants on, roll up the edge until it's the right length, then pin. Then mark the edge so that I can turn the pants inside out when I sew.

Learning how to do basic sewing repairs is one thing I really need to teach myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I can sew on buttons though--easy enough really.
