'My Precious'

This is my blog post that i promised AGES ago, on how to DIY shorts. You may have seen my Levi shorts, that i wrote a post about, with a material patch on half of them. They cost a fortune to buy Levi shorts remade, so i thought it'd do it cheaper!  So bought some Levi shorts of Facebook for £7! The material was an old skirt i had, that i have never worn! After receiving the shorts, and cutting them down so they weren't so long, i drew out a pattern, just by putting paper over the shorts and drawing around the half i wanted. I then pinned this to the skirt, and cut it out. I hand sewed it on to the shorts, which isn't really that hard, making sure i turned the edges over, so it doesn't fray! I am proud of how they turned out at such a small price too!

Some small tips i have:

 Tip one: iron your material and shorts first.

Tip two: Don't cut your shorts too short, like i think i may have!

Tip three: Make sure you don't sew the material all the way through round the pockets, else you won't have access to your pockets! Just go through the pocket and not the actual leg!

If anyone needs any help with their shorts, just ask!
