A Jean Transformation!

So today's post was totally last minute! Trust me, I am not that blogger that sits down the night before or two nights before and writes more than one post at a time. No no no...I am the blogger that gets up in the morning and then decides what to write and then I frantically try to finish usually before noon. Well the past two days it hasn't quite worked out that way. And you know what? I am okay with that!

So last night I was cleaning out my closet, which I do before the summer comes so I know what I am looking at for the upcoming months, and I found one of my favorite pair of jeans. Here is a picture that I blogged in the very beginning! They seriously are my favorite pair of $15 jeans from the Gap Outlet.


Well the hole in the knee was getting a bit crazy. Every time I would put them on, my foot would go through the hole, making it bigger and bigger each time. I definitely didn't want to throw them out because I seriously have had these things for a few years and they were apart of the family! So this morning I woke up with a mission; figure out how to save these pants! Oh and I did!! I decided to turn them into shorts. Yea jeans shorts. I wear them. What are you going to do about it?

So anyway I got to work! 


Holding back the tears, I cut them to about mid thigh. It definitely was hard to do! But it had to be done!



I folded the ends up one time and then began to sew. After I finished I cut the excess fabric off so when I went to fold them up again, it wouldn't be too bulky. 





I then folded them up one more time and then put it under the machine one last time. There you have it! Ridiculously easy!!!

Here are a few shots with them on.

Caution white legs ahead!



Told ya. They are pretty white! So there you have it. Jeans turned into shorts in literally 10 minutes! Now the next time you are thinking about getting rid of a good pair of jeans, remember they can always be transformed into something else!!! See ya tomorrow!
