Sew it seams

oy brother-in-law bought a pair of jeans that were rather too long in the leg, so my sister set about taking them up for him. She took about four inches off each leg and was very pleased indeed with her sewing skills. However, when my brother-in-law tried them on, he found that one leg had been done twice! oy sister and he looked at each other and broke into laughter.
