How to: Jean Burmuda Shorts

Ever had a pair of jeans sitting in ur closet that you just cannot seem to part with. Maybe it cause they fit really well on top but flare out at the bottom (eww!) or maybe its cause you bought them a little too long and have been trailing under your soles? Why throw them away when you can find ways to re-invent them? This is one of easiest way to turn an older pair of jeans from old and shabby to new and sheek. If you dont know how, good thing you've kept reading past the first sentence because im here to teach you. And its needle and thread free!

Things you will need:
  • an older pair of jeans in decent condition
  • fabric cutting scissors (or any scissor that will cut a straight line w/o ripping the fabric)
  • an iron
  • a small tip marker
1st Step:
 Lay out a pair of Jeans on the floor. Make sure the the length and waist seams match up. You do not want to have one leg longer than the other/
2nd Step:
Mark a line to about the length you would prefer you bermuda. Remember to make the mark a little longer then where you would want it to sit on your leg. If its easier for you, put the jeans on and mark them in front of a mirror. Dont forget to mark both pant leg on each side of the seam.
3rd Step:
Cut below the line. If you cut above you dont give yourself enough wiggle room for error. Make sure earch pant leg is even in length.
4th Step:
Roll up each leg evenly. (The jeans that are pictured were rolled up twice, each roll about an inch wide.) Press a hot iron ( A duh!) on each fold for about 5 secs.

Try them on =)

I paired mine with some sneakers from H&M
