Turn Old Jeans into Jean Shorts

I had a pair of jeans that had seen better days, and recently one of the knees gave out. My kids were a little too obsessed about how I ripped my pants and made a deal about it every time I wore them, so I figured the time was right to transform them into something new.

Ok, I don’t want to insult anyone’s intelligence by offering a tutorial about how to make jean shorts from old jeans. I mean, step 1) cut the legs off the jeans above the knees. There, done! Although not quite done – think of this as the midway point since I want to do something else to the shorts. I can’t decide if they need to be more distressed, or have some patches or something. I’m going to have to mull it over some more.
