They can be saved!
I had some good news for her and sent her this tutorial!
Im sure Im her hero right about now!

Its hard to believe that soaking her jeans in 1 capful of baby shampoo and water is the secret!
It relaxes the fibers of the fabric when soaking.
She rinses them and then she rolls her jeans in towels.
After that she gently starts stretching the fabric lengthwise, making them longer.
She lets them dry flat.
After they dry, she tries them on, and voila!
They are the length they were before they shrunk!
