1-2-3-4 Shorts

Hey guys! This is my very first post, so I decided to do something super simple-- cut-off shorts. I also like to call these "The 1-2-3-4 Shorts", because it only takes four EASY steps to make them. These shorts are so easy to make that I didn't feel the need to post step by step pictures. Step 1: Grab a pair of old jeans. Step 2: Try on the jeans and put a mark at the length you want them to be. (Remember: you may want to cuff the shorts after you cut them. If you do, mark about an inch below the length you want.) Step 3: Lay the jeans on a flat surface and fold them in half so the the front pockets are showing on the outside. Now cut the jeans straight across where you marked in Step 2. Step 4: Cuff the shorts by folding the newly cut edge outward. If you want, you can iron the cuffs to insure they stay in place. And you can also stitch the sides of the cuffs to realllyyy insure that they stay in place. (Step 4 is completely optional. Some people like the "cuffed look" while others don't. The point of DIY FASHION is to help you create your OWN style.) That's it! Told you it was easy!
Oh yeah, this is my firend Melissa modeling her new shorts!
