DIY: The Endless Summer

     So this summer, ive really just been stuck at home bored for most days. Until last night, when I got a BRILLIANT idea! Why not cut up some old jeans (they still fit, but were too short), and make then into shorts! And while i'm at it, why not give them a SPARK? I went through a time when I was in LOVE with sewing, I made little pillows and things like that. Id always watched my mom doing it, so she taught me and I picked it up. Now, I think my love for it is coming BACK!
     Thats when I grabbed a pair of scissors, a pair of jeans past their prime, and sat down to work. My eyes slowly wandered over to my desk, trying to see what else I could add onto the jeans. They drifted onto golden ribbon, and then to the GORGEOUS fabric that had come with my Kiel James Patrick purchase packaging. So, I got to work! Ladies and gentlemen, here are the shorts dedicated to my endless summer. Beautiful colors, pretty ribbon, and pretty wash. Enjoy!

If I had more fabric, I definitely wouldve gone around and lined the back too! But oh well, Im really pleased with how the shorts turned out! This was my first time cutting jeans into shorts, and also my first time adding anything onto them.Ive done other sewing projects, but this was my first like this.

So what do you guys think? I worked REALLY hard on them, and I really am happy with the end result! I did them ALL my hand, sewing and cutting etc. In all, they took about 3 hours, with a little break time. Thanks to the lovely people at KJP for supplying your customers with pretty packaging that enlightens creativity!
