My Denim Shorts Modest Refashion
What do you do when you have a favourite pair of shorts that
are a little on the short side? Well, you fix them =D
Here is how I turned my favourite shorts into
something
special and more modest.
Step 1
For this project I needed a quick unpick, scissors, Iron and
my trusty pin cushion. First off I unpicked the original hemline of my shorts.
I then ironed out the fold marks from the original hemline. Whollah...., longer shorts =D
Step 2
Note: if you like the beachy, casual look you could simply
fray the bottom edge of the shorts). I chose the more dressy look of rehemming my shorts. I simply put in a smaller hem then the original as you can see in
the pictures.

Step 3
Once I had pinned my hemline in place I ran it through the
sewing machine. I chose to double stitch my hemline, you don’t need to do this,
I just liked the look.
Okay, from here it’s up to you, You can leave your shorts
like this or you can add alittle something like me.
I chose to put some lace on my shorts, I recycled the
lace from some clothing I no longer wanted.

I decided to sew the lace just under my front pockets so,
1st I made sure that the inside on my pockets were
pinned
up and out of the way.

2nd I pinned the lace pieces in place on the front of the shorts making sure they looked just right.

3rd I sewed around the edges of my pieces of
lace and made
sure they were well stitched down.
(You can see in the picture below).
I then Unpinned the pockets and Wow, I then had a super cute and modest pair of long
shorts.
