Can anyone recommend an easy tutorial for shortening pants? I've only done it once with my Grandma's supervision I'm a bit intimidated to work on a pair of DH's dress pants...

I do super simple, hand sewing hemming most of the time. I turn the pants inside out, put them on to get a good length, pin them up to where I want them hemmed (I check with shoes and sitting down), take them off, and hand stitch the new hem with a thread color that will blend in.
It's not too difficult to hem on a sewing machine, but the hand stitching is just so easy, and I actually like how the hem looks on dress pants. Plus, it's easy to take out and redo if the length is off.
