Ways To Shorten Denim Jeans?

This tutorial teaches how to cut jeans into shorts, a chic and easy solution for warm spring and summer days. The process involves measuring and marking the desired length of the jeans, cutting off the majority of the pant legs, adjusting the cut offs, hemping the jeans, distressing or embellishing the jeans, and washing the cutoff jeans.

To create the perfect pair of cut off jean shorts, first slip on the jeans and use chalk to mark the desired length. Then, take off the jeans and lay them on a flat surface. In four easy steps, you can convert battered jeans or paint-splattered khakis into custom-made shorts.

To cuff the hem, fold an even amount of fabric around each leg opening and press with an iron. If desired, you can fold up twice. The tutorial also includes steps to choose your jeans, decide the cut length, add the cuff or hem length, and wash the cutoff jeans. This step-by-step DIY shorts tutorial is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of style to their jeans.
