Then I remembered that I had a pair of shorts that I loved – except … they were leftovers from a time when high-waisted was the only thing around and now they looked more “Sierra Club hiker” than “Summer of 2011″.
Allright, this isn't me or my shorts, but they look just like the shorts I'm refashioning.
Now I have a pair of shorts that will be a wardrobe staple this summer and I didn’t pay a cent for them. Wish I had thought of this before I wasted all that time shopping for summer shorts.
The shorts I'll be living in this summer!
Check out how I Refashioned High Waisted Shorts.

Eunice over on Facebook asked about the zipper. I completely forgot to address the zipper! So here's my response to Eunice:
There was a zipper, but because there was a piece similar to that on boxer shorts I didn't need to replace it with a shorter zipper. I removed the zipper and left it as is except that I added a small piece of velcro to hold it all together. I've made changes to the tute to include this change along with a pic of the velcro I added.
Very nice shorts! Though I don't know if I could attempt this wihtout ruining them. Great job!

I'm always afraid to make that 1st cut. Using garage sale finds that cost $1 or less has helped me get better at just jumping in, since I'm risking less. Also I like to sew 1st, try on and THEN cut.
