D.I.Y. Jean Shorts



Are your jeans starting to look more like floods, or even capris? That's how mine were, but they still fit perfectly around the waist, and I did not want to let a pair of well-fitting jeans go! I needed a pair of jean shorts anyways, so I took advantage of what I had: an old pair of jeans, and a pair of scissors.

1. Put on your old pair of jeans, and mark with a pen or marker where you want your jean shorts to hit. I suggest cutting 4-6 inches longer, so that there is room to make a cuff.
2. Remove the jeans, and lay them on a flat surface. Cut one side parallel to the original hem at the bottom of the pant legs.
3. Fold jeans in half along the center seam, make sure everything is even, and repeat on the other leg.
4. If desired, roll them up at least 2 times to make a cuff.

Viola! Quick & easy.

Peace & Love,
Natalie
