I simply cut them across. Folded up the hem 2X and tacked down by hand while the shorts were on me. I managed to not sew myself to the shorts. Miraculous!

Are you ready for some football??
Well football season is in full gear. In the south, they love College football. I am a Saturday widow as my boyfriend spends the entire day grilling and watching football. I prefer to sew. :) I originally purchased these pants in hopes of wearing them for wear but the lace up was not really work appropriate in my opinion. So I decided to turn them into shorts!

I had issues with my camera that day so sorry it is out of focus. I feel very self conscious about these shorts as I didn't think they were going to be this tight. I would not wear them to a public event but I will wear them while watching football. :)

you could use some strips of fabric from the chopped legs to insert at the side seams. You might like them better.

I like Sandy's idea of using the leftover leg fabric as side inserts. If they have French seams you can just carefully cut along the seam and put the inserts behind the seam. that way you still have your French seam without having to take it apart and put it back together again.
