Cut Off Jeans

today i'm sewing...i'm finally getting the hang of cutting off blue jeans and making them into shorts...i'm not sure about everybody else, but for a 41 one year old woman, its hard to find shorts...i refuse to wear "mom jeans" shorts...i mean i'm old but not that old...my legs are not what they used to be...there is some serious wear and tear on them...i can't wear booty shorts either...so i chose to make some myself...

the first pair that i tried was some that i purchased at aero for about $19...i never really cared for the way they fit me..boyfriend cut...i chopped them off last year and just wore them with the strings hanging...this year i decided to go a little more "classy"...LOL...

pair number two came straight from the good will...they looked like i just purchased them at american eagle...i paid $2.94 on 1/2 off day...how can you beat that deal? they were a short so it didn't matter since i knew before hand that they were getting chopped...

and finally the third pair...i got them for $1.00 after a semi trade on facebook...they are also the aero boyfriend cut...

southern girls like cut off shorts...but as an older "girl" i like mine not so short...i just made a reversed hem...they sort of look like i just rolled them up one time...i'm happy with them...
