DIY #1

I told you I would so I did my first DIY summer shorties, *claps and shoulder pat*. How to?

1) Find yourself some mommy/high-waisted jeans;

2) Grab a pen or Sharpie to estimate desired length;
(NB: unless you have  already planned to have your cheeks out, leave more than enough fabric then work your way up)

[Consult top left picture]

3) With both legs cut off, mark where you want distress slits;

4) Scissors: "pinch" the fabric to make a slit (or slits, to your liking);

5) Use a box-cutter for smooth, straight and quick cuts;

[Consult top right & bottom left picture, it will fray and puff after the first wash and on]

6) Optional: fold and stitch the bottom for a cleaner look, it will fray otherwise;

7) Clean up and wash&dry!

Ta-dah! And the story behind this pair...well, that will be for another day. Catch this bad boy in action, outfits coming soon ! :)
