high-waisted shorts out of hideous pants!

We recently undertook a number of refashioning projects for our latest back-to-school/fall fashion blog post.

This amazing refashion turned an ugly and outdated pair of pants into glamourous high-waisted shorts.

BEFORE:


AFTER:




Here's how we did it in WORDS:
-Take one hideous pair of grandma pants.

-Trim off most of pant, a few inches above your knee.

-Roll remaining pant length into cuff of desired thickness and length.

-Stitch two vertical seams on sides of thigh area.

-Remove belt, save buckles for back pocket embellishment.

-Use excess pant fabric to make back pockets, attach to rear of pant.

-Add own colorful belt.

-Voila!

Here's how we did it ILLUSTRATED:


Yay! AWESOME shorts!!
