D.I.Y: Long Trousers to Cute Summer Shorts in 5 easy steps

How to turn a pair of trousers (or pants if your irish!) into a cute pair of summer shorts. And it's farrr too easy with these simple step-by-step pictures!

I should really add to turn the pants inside out before you mark with a pen/chalk/whatever your using.
Try to keep a straight cut, it will effect the way your shorts end up otherwise!
I cut just above the knees, you need space to turn them up for step four. Remember this!
I also straightened the fabric down using my hair straighteners for extra neatness before sewing. Any excuse to use my ghd’s once again! :)

Just sew a simple straight stitch along and knot neatly. Easy as pie right? And for a fiver you can’t go wrong!

Happy Altering!
XOXO.

Very nice. I don't think you could quite call it shorts-season yet in the UK, but not long to go now!
