How To Sew Booty Denim Shorts?

This DIY tutorial teaches you how to turn old jeans into stylish shorts by cutting off the majority of the pant legs and folding the edge of one leg opening under. This will make the jeans easier to handle without extra material in the way. To create the desired shape, put on the shorts and fold the edge of one leg opening under.

A Levi’s® Master Tailor shows how to create the perfect pair of cut off jean shorts in about 15 minutes using one of three easy methods: cuffed edge, hemmed edge, or frayed edge. The inseam (inner thigh/crotch area) should be longer.

To make your own high waist cut-off shorts, fold the jeans in half long-wise, smooth out and even, and cut both legs at the same time with sharp scissors. Try them on and fold up one side of the shorts to determine the desired length. The inseam should be longer than the outer thigh/crotch area.

To create the basic shorts, choose your jeans, decide the cut length, add cuff or hem length, and cut off the majority of the pant legs to create knee-length shorts. Put on the shorts and fold the edge of one leg opening under to create the desired shape.

To make the jeans bleached, stick the jeans in a vat or tub filled with a bleach solution of two parts water to one part bleach for 20-60 minutes, depending on the desired color. This DIY tutorial is a great way to save money on denim cut-offs and create unique and stylish shorts.
