Tip turn your jeans into trendy shorts

Do you still have a pair of jeans that fit, but are no longer your thing? Tip turn your jeans into trendy shorts. There is nothing more fun than turning an old pair of jeans into trendy shorts. You don't need a sewing machine for it and the homemade shorts will certainly attract a lot of attention. Make your own trendy shorts with the tips below.

Warm weather is time to wear shorts

The last few days it has been exceptionally beautiful and warm, especially for the time of the year. So it's time to give your summer clothes a place in the wardrobe again. A pair of nice shorts should certainly not be missing in your wardrobe. And why buy new shorts when you can easily make them yourself? All you need are some jeans that still fit you, but can be cut above the knee.

Supplies

  • Jeans (must still fit at the top, otherwise you can't wear the shorts)
  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape
  • Pen or marker
  • Needle and thread
  • Needles to secure fabric
  • Piece of lace (can be purchased at various stores)

Tip turn your jeans into trendy shorts

From now on you can make your own shorts that no one else has and with which you will certainly make your friends jealous.

Lay the pants flat on the floor and mark the length of the pants legs with a tape measure and pen. You do this on one side, after which you put the trouser legs together

Now cut both trouser legs at once. Preferably use special fabric scissors for this, which will give the best result.

Now you can decorate the edges of the trouser legs. This can be done by sewing a lace trim around the bottom of the cut trouser leg. If you have a sewing machine, you'll be ready within a few minutes, otherwise it won't take that long by hand. Before you start, it is best to secure the edge with some needles, so that the fabric stays neatly in place

Once you've been around and both legs have a lace trim, your trendy shorts are complete.

Tips for more variety

  • Of course you can also use other pants instead of jeans
  • Prefer no lace trim? Then make a fabric flower border around it
  • Cut the trouser legs into fraying, creating a completely different and above all special effect
  • Do you think the shorts themselves are still too boring? You can decorate the shorts with studs, buttons, flowers, bleach, etc.
