Step 5
now its time to make your pant into shorts. ( you can keep your revamped pants as pants if you want but you wont be able to make a vest later on)
Cut your pant about an inch (2.5 cm) longer than you want your shorts to be. then fold the bottom inside or outside (whichever looks better, i chose inside for these) and hem them. you now have one beautiful pair of shorts! :D -
Step 6
Next is the vest. take one of the legs that you cut off of your shorts and cut along the longest seams (down the leg). cut them so that one side is left with both of the original seams on it and the other has only raw edges (except for the bettom). if needed, hem the edges of your strips of jeans. do exactly the same thing with the other leg. sry, no picture for this step :(
-
Step 8
take one of the strips with original seams on it. it needs to be about 23 inches or 58 centimetres long. if its too long, cut it shorter. if its too short, use the last strip to make an extension. this new strip, we will call #2.
-
Step 9
set the two strips that you sewed together (#1) on your worksurface, with the good side facing up. since it's curved like a banana ( we sewed the two strips together on an angle) make sure the curve is going to the right. take the strip we just worked with (#2) and place it perpendicular to the other strip so that a 90 degree angle is formed. make sure this strip has it's good side up too. sew these together.
-
Step 10
bend strip #1 to meet the other end of strip #2, forming another 90 degree angle. it will make strip #1 into sort of a rainbow shape. Both the inside edges of strip #1 will be sewn onto the ends of strip #2. your vest is finished! put it on by holding it behind you, putting your arms through the hole and pulling your arms back to your side.
-
Step 11
to make it even more trendy and fitting, add a button to connect the two sides. if you want to make your vest match with your shorts, you can put a strip of lace between the neck part (the back of it) and the part that wraps around your back (imagine a line of lace going down the racerback part of my tank top) .

Step 12
if you have any leftover materials, you can make bracelts with them and be really matchy and fun! :)
