DIY Summer Shorts

Earthsense

The warm weather is the perfect time for wearing shorts, but instead of buying new, try making your own trendy shorts at home.  With a few materials andsome easy tips, you could be showing off your stems in style and save money at the same time.

Of course, and old pair jeans makes easy and always in style cut-offs like Daisy Duke used to wear, but if you’ve got some sewing skills, you could turn an old scarf or sarong into a comfy pair of shorts.  Or take a pair of denim shorts you already have and give them a new design with some fabric paint and a stencil.  Fabric dye is fairly inexpensive and you can create your own dip dye patterns at home…the possibilities are endless.
