   Lizabeth, it depends on what you have to start with, i.e., ease in circumference at the 3/4 length, and the finished "look" you want to end up with. With that in mind you could check for some variation in styles for that length. A good place to look is at http://images.google.com/ and type in keywords "3/4 length jeans" -- there are about 5 pages of images.

   thanks diday,
   I hadn't thought of google images and found a rather nice 3/4 pair with a 'deep' hem that look compatible with the base jeans that i want to alter. I have printed the picture and will have a go tonight.

   When ever I have shortened jeans I use an orange-y thread and actually sew a visable stitch around the bottom.  During a visit to France a while back, lots of people there were actually heming their jeans using a prick stitch, and it looked so strange.

   I did this a while ago, I did side slits and then bar tacked across the end of the side seam.  Topstitched with matching jeans thread and they looked great when done.  My secretary asked me where I bought them like that! :-)
