Summer is finally here! We've been having perfect summer weather this past week. This means, that it's time to dust off those summer clothes and put shorts back on top of the trouser pile in my closet. It's also the perfect opportunity to upcycle some jeans that you're not wearing anymore. Cut-offs are super easy to make and customize with ribbons, lace, fabric paints, dye, fabric and so on and so on.
I had a pair of simple light blue denim jeans that I never really wore much. Somehow, I just didn't feel pretty in them. They fit great at the waist though, so I thought they'de make a great pair of shorts for the summer.
The process really was super simple:
I think the above process is self-explanatory. Take some jeans, cut off the legs, zig-zag or overlock the cut edges, pin lace to the legs, add some cute flower embellishments here and there, sew all of that in place, and that's it!
Love my new shorts! I hope they'll get loads of wear this summer.
Cute! I love how these turned out. I especially love the little lace flowers on the back, too cute! But my favorite part? Those shorts with the tied white button down. Such a cute outfit together! I'm your newest follower on GFC and FB, you should come check out our blog some time!
