Mad for Plaid

I grabbed these slacks at the thrift shop a couple weeks ago for $1.50. They fit great in the waist but, as you can clearly see, the length falls a bit short (yeah, pun entirely intended).

But just look at the gold sparkly houndstooth-plaid-y fabric!

So I decided to make them into some cute shorts for the summertime. I even reused the bottom hem to create a folded cuff.

A good way of getting more wear from too short trousers.

Skip the capri length and go right to shorts -- I'm likin' that!
