This is my first refashion project. My summer blue jeans got torn and I decided to try and cut them to shorts. You need basic sewing skills and a sewing machine.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 x Sewing Machine
  • 1 x color of choice Thread
  • 1 x Scissors

Steps (7 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, I cut the pants to the length I wanted.

  2. 2

    Then I sewed a piece of fabric, cut on the bias, right side to pants' wrong side along the cutting line.

  3. 3

    Then I turned the piece of fabric right side up and attached to the pants' leg (right side) with pins and hand sewed a basting stitch.

  4. 4

    Then I sewed two lines with two different types of stitches but this is optional.

  5. 5

    I did this for both legs.

  6. 6

    Then I sewed some sturdier patches for the inner side of the thighs...

  7. 7

    ... and sewed them on. And then I sewed more patches to the spots where the fabric was thinner. I used an old shirt for the patches and hems.
