MOM Tip: As your going through your children’s clothes are you finding a lot of pants your kids have out grown? Why not reuse those small pants and make them into shorts?
Step One: I simply cut a couple of pairs of jeans to the length I wanted and went at them a bit with the scissors and a quilters blade. Several washes later and they were nicely tattered and worn in spots with some nice fringing on the hems, all ready for the finishing touches!
Step Two: You can either leave the hems as is, roll them up (as seen on Abby), or hem them (as seen on Wyndham).
Step Three Tip: You could also do this with baggier pants for little girls, enlisting an elastic sewn into the hem to create a bubble short effect. This would look absolutely darling paired with tights or leotards for the fall! Perhaps I’ll get on making a step-by-step tutorial for that one soon.
