    pro tip: instead of going out of your way to purchase fabric chalk, you can just use a SOAP BAR (easy to see on the pants/shorts and easy to wash out). And if you don't have a cutting mat, just use cardboard, and put it in the inside of the pants legs.

    When you suggested using mens Levi’s 🤯🤯🤯 that’s brilliant!!! Higher waist, bigger pockets... now I know what to look for on my next trip to the thrift store.

    I LOVE altering clothes!!! I've been doing it since the 80's!! I always wore men's 501's and would take the legs in making them as skinny as I could get them!!! Like our jeggings today! You can't make a mistake! Just do it...its so fun!!

    @nicqellehessick1565 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thank you thank you! I've been doing it wrong all these years. No I can't wait to get some new men's Levi's and get to work on them! There's nothing better than a great pair of loose distressed denim shorts for the summer. Thank you again!

    @erinbechtold4728 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    this was actually really helpful! great tip about spacing the cuts and so cool how the wash/dry did the work for you. I've watched a lot of videos and not many actually do authentic worn in distressing-but this definitely looks like the real deal-thank you!

    This is my GO TO video for making my jean shorts. I have since made several for myself and friends and family. They all ask where I got my super cute Levis shorts. Guys section at the thrift store. Never fails. I came to watch again to get my go to measurements from you and I am about to cut up my mens wranglers that finally fit me! They are going to be killer. 🔥

    Probably the best one I've watched to date; you can also take nail scissors and make tiny cuts around leg openings (about 1/8" apart) to accelerate that process. Thanks, happy Friday!

    • @serenagoodpasture7115
      @serenagoodpasture7115 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome to for us impatient peeps! Vertical or horizontal cuts..?

    • @just.j5302
      @just.j5302 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@serenagoodpasture7115 vertical, at tiny intervals around the leg openings. Then, if you want a mindless task to fill a rainy day, you can take tweezers and pull out the threads to get them started, at various points around...viola! Instant distressing
