DIY ~ Who Wears Short Shorts?

As we all know I am trying to spring clean and get ready for the big garage sale coming up soon.

I had to get rid of some jeans and I thought "I should make my faves into shorts".

I have two pairs of jeans I have had since 2001.

I adore them and they are so worn and comfy.

But they are gross at the bottom and are a weird old cut...

so why not upcycle them???

First get a pair of shorts that you love the legth of.

Match it up and cut to the length you want.

The first pair I just cut and made some major holes in.

Second pair I added some pretty lace to "countrify them".

Just pin the lace in place around the leg holes on the inside of the short leg. I tapered mine in the center cause I know the lace would bug me on the inside of my thighs.

Then sew!

After, wash your shorts and dry them in your dryer.

This will fray they edges a bit.

Cute eh?

I think so.

Cheers,
