Decorating Shorts with Fabric

Hey! This tutorial shows you how to easily stitch some fabric to a pair of shorts to kind of "zoozsh" them up!
You'll need your shorts, fabric, scissors, straight pins, a pencil, and a needle and thread.
Step 1: Lay the fabric over the spot you want to cover. [i.e. the pocket]
Step 2: Take the pencil and lightly trace the outline of the pocket.
Step 3: Cut out the shape.
Step 4: Pin it to the pocket.
Step 5: Get your needle and thread, and sew the fabric to the pocket on all 4 or 5 sides. Don't accidentally sew the pocket shut!
That's it! Yes, it's easy!!

I got my fabric from the Hobby Lobby clearance section for $1 and some change. You can sew the fabric to any part of the shorts you want! You can do the front side, front pockets, back pockets- anywhere!

A Rosy Outfit

Heyyy! Here's an outfit I put together, and I'm in loooveee with it!!
It's a lace, floral, spaghetti strap shirt with some red high waisted shorts. The shirt scrunches in the middle with a draw string and also has straps, but I tucked all of that in to make it a strapless blouse! Yep, it's that easy!

DIY Bandeau!

Hey y'all! This is a tutorial on making a bandeau! I've seen them in stores just about everywhere, but instead of just buying one.. I decided to make my own! I used items that were laying around the house, so it was free to make! It's really simple and anybody can do it!

You'll need a fitted tee, scissors, iron-on hemming tape, and an iron [of course]
Step 1: Try on the shirt and mark where you want the top and bottom of the bandeau to be. Remember you'll be hemming the bandeau, so add a little extra room for that!

Step 2: Cut the shirt. I started by cutting everything from the sleeves up off, then cutting the bandeau to the size I wanted.

Step 3: Turn it inside out. Fold the top and bottom about 1 inch for the hem. Iron the fold.

Step 4: Take the hemming tape and place it on the hem. Make sure that the tape is touching the piece you folded AND the "body" of the bandeau. Just follow the instructions on your hemming tape and it will make sense!

Step 5: Turn it right side out and try it on! Like it? Me too!

You can wear your new bandeau with some high waisted shorts, a high waisted skirt, and with just about anything else!

Ripped Boyfriend Jeans!!

Hey! These are probably my favorite pair of jeans, honestly! And they were sooo easy to make! All I used was an old pair of my dad's pants and a knife! Okay, let's go! 

Step 1: Get a pair of jeans and a serrated knife.

Step 2: With a little pressure, cut/ scrape horizontal lines on the jeans.

Step 3: Place the knife perpendicular to the cuts and scrape back and forth until the jeans begin to shred and the white strings are visible. Do this as many times as you want, in any pattern you want!

Step 4: Wash and dry the jeans as you would a regular pair. The washer and dryer is what makes the threads fray, and makes them look all cool and stuff.

Step 5: Because these pants previously belonged to my dad, they were too long. Sooo I rolled and cuffed the bottom to make a pair of capris, but do what you want!

Now wear your new boyfriend jeans with a wife beater and some sneakers or even a cute tank top and some heals!

High Waisted Shortssss!

Hey! This DIY is my favoriteeee! I make distressed shorts ALL OF THE TIME because they're so easy! I have a million pair, all different. Well, let's get going!

Step 1: Get a pair of high waisted or "grandma" jeans. I get all of mine from the thrift store.
Step 2: Cut the jeans into shorts.
Step 3: look at the side hem of the shorts. Cut it like shown in the picture to give it a kind of "scalloped" look.
Step 4: Get a serrated knife. Using the tip of the knife, cut/ scrape horizontal lines on the shorts.
Step 5: To shred the jeans,
Put the knife perpendicular to the scrapes and go back and forth until the white strings begin to appear. Do this as many times as you want. Don't forget to decorate the back!
Step 6: Wash and dry the shorts as you would normally. This is what really roughs them up!

Now wear your new high waisted shorts with a tank top and some sneakers or a corset and your favorite pair of pumps! Make it your own!
