it is finally starting to feel a lot like summer in this part of the world. one proof of this is the proliferation of girls in short shorts even inside air-conditioned malls, as observed by a friend of mine just last night, haha! i too have been having a hard time sleeping in our fan room for the past two nights because of this supposed summer heat.
so anyway, for today’s fashion friday project, i thought of working on one of my go-to clothing piece during summer–denim shorts. i love denim shorts because they are comfortable and go well with almost any top and footwear.
instead of buying a new one, i thought of making cut-off shorts from one of my really old pair of jeans. and by really old, i mean from my college days or about 10 years old!
i patterned the size from one of my denim shorts that fit me well. and then i turned the left back pocket into a bow, sewed a piece of lace on the right side of the hem, and embellished the left front pocket with printed fabric.
et voila! 
update 03/16: wore my diy cut-off shorts to the mall today :)
