its time to re-vamp those old jeans you have in your closet!
what you need ::
blue jeans
scissors
fabric
coordinating thread
sewing machine
pins
start by trying on your jeans and marking where you want them stop.
cut off both legs.
measure the width of the leg and double it. This is the length that you will cut your fabric.
cut two strips of fabric that are the width you measured by 5 1/2".
press them long-ways and wrong sides together.
Sew the ends together so that the fabric makes a circle.
flip your shorts inside out and match up all three raw edges.
Pin in place.
Sew all the way around and repeat on the other leg.
Flip your shorts right side out.
Press the cuff you mad up and wear them proudly!
Cute!! Nice job!
