Rileyy 388 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 So I got kinda in a crafty mood today and I was wondering if anyone had experience turning normal jeans into jean shorts. I watched a ton of YouTube videos on the subject but wanted some advice, so I came here wondering if anyone here had done it! The jeans I picked are not my favorite jeans and I think they make me look fat but I also got them at a thrift shop for very very cheap so if they get completely destroyed it's ok. I have some pictures of them so hopefully that will help. Thanks!! I know I'm fat btw I'm working on it, sorry??? -Riley Gemgirl 1 Link to comment
Gemgirl 659 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The simplest way would be to try and server them in one straight cut so the legs are even. Possibly place them under a solid object that's hard to move. Thus holding them down and giving a line for where to cut. As for you. To be honest, you are Hollywood pudgy at best. And this may not be relevant but I do find pudgy girls cute. Link to comment

I did it and they don't look as bad as I thought they would. They make me look way more boyish but idk?? I was standing on a piano bench to see them in the mirror??

Although I do like them now and if it doesn't work out you won't be able to lengthen them again... actually maybe shorter would be nicer. Link to comment

If I go shorter will I look like less of a boy while wearing them??? I'm just worried it will make my legs look even fatter if I go shorter but idk. I could also fold over and see the ends so the have the brighter end so it's flat? Link to comment

Gemgirl 659 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I love them. They really show off your legs. Which in my mind is a good thing. ? Rileyy 1 Link to comment
Brittanybunny 1,494 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Well depending on some jeans, most jean shorts are a bit loose in the legs, so maybe fine a pair of jeans that have wider leg room, and once you cut them, hem them about an inch, it really depends on your body and how you want it to fit, and based on denim, it frays very easily when cut, so if you put those in the wash the part where its cut will fray a ton, trust me, as someone who has worked in fashion and with denim stuff, based on just the simple cut you did with regular jeans they look great! Id say look up a tutorial for hand stitching a hem, so they dont fray everytime you wash them Link to comment

From the pictures I see, you have a nice body. If you leave the length you decided, you can fold them two times for this look. The Dark Wolf 1 Link to comment
