DIY: American Flag Pocket Shorts

Fourth of July is around the corner! If you don’t have a cute outfit to wear to all the barbques and Fourth of July parties, dont worry because you can make your own. Take you old jean short and vamp them up! I took my old jean shorts and turned one of the pockets into an American Flag! Here are all the steps and supplies you will need!

Supplies:

• American Flag Fabric
• Needle and Thread or Fabric Glue
• Fabric Scissors
• Jeans Shorts

 

Steps:

• Step 1: Cut out one of the back pockets with a pair of fabric scissors
• Step 2: Measure out the pocket and trace it onto the fabric with chalk or a sharpie. Cut out the traced out pocket.
• Step 3: Sew the pocket onto the shorts with the needle and thread. You can also use fabric glue to place the pocket.

With three easy steps you have “renewed” your old jean shorts. 

Renew Your Shorts

Renew your jeans into a brand new summer shorts! Turn your old jeans into on trend shorts in 20 minutes with inexpensive supplies.

Step One: Put the jeans on a draw lines with a pencil where you want the jeans cut. Add an extra inch to leave for mistake and distressing. (Distressing is when you make the jeans look “ripped”. Take of jeans.

Steph Two: Either buy lace ribbon or cut up an old laced shirt. Measure the exact length of each pocket, but do not leave any extra room. Cut lace with a fabric scissor.

Step Three: Using a fabric glue, make a line of glue on the front line of the bottom of the lace fabric. Carefully place the lace fabric in the front inside of the pocket.

Step Four: Repeat all three steps for three other pocket.

Extra: If you’d like to add more detail add lace fabric to the back pockets. Cut out one of the pockets. Measure the pocket’s exact measurements and mark the lace fabric with chalk or a pencil. Lightly glue the back of the fabric and place them on the shorts.
