    I'm fairly certain that the cuffed shorts would also work with jeggings. If you decide to make the non-cuffed version, I might allow a little more length than you think you'll need just because they stretch so much more than normal jeans, but it should work.

    You're like the only DIY channel that I actually want to follow, because you're so good at explaining and actually shows how to do it, in a simple way!

    So glad to hear you tried it out! I've been brainstorming DIY projects for the leftover denim. If/when I come up with something, I'll definitely upload a video on it.

  • @simpleDIYs
    @simpleDIYs  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Of course. You can make them as long or short as you want.

    She's doing a DIY. A thigh gap is only natural if you're naturally skinny or extremely fit I am really fit and don't even have one. In fact I leg press about 550 now and my muscles touch... I will never have one due to big muscles. YOU ALL ARE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL and please realize you will never look like a magazine or a movie because it is freaking fake. BE REAL. BE YOU. LOVE YOU. AND LOVE YOUR BODY. You only get one, don't hate the one thing that gives you the chance to live and breathe in this world. Love it and improve it. But never hate it.

    Which pair? The ones that I cuffed do not fray because the part of the jeans that I cut isn't exposed. If you start to fray the cut-off pair, they will fray slightly every time you wash them (which enhances the look, in my opinion).

  • @simpleDIYs

    Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them.

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I did this with jeans that began fitting me all weird after I lost some weight and now I have the most perfect shorts!

  • @simpleDIYs
    @simpleDIYs  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    the white pencil liner washes off. you can also use chalk. it'll wash right off.

  • @AllThingsMacKinzie
    @AllThingsMacKinzie 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    So far this is the best DIY shorts video I've found :)

  • @simpleDIYs
    @simpleDIYs  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can't guarantee this would work because I can't see the shorts, but if they are a bit too tight, I'd cut a tiny slit/small V on the inside of the leg. You could potentially hide this with the cuff depending on how much material you're working with.

  • @simpleDIYs
    @simpleDIYs  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    No, it is formulated to withstand washing.

  • @simpleDIYs
    @simpleDIYs  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Or if you don't have fabric glue you can iron them

    • @keerthana.b301

    Great video. Thanks for posting. I'm going to try the cuffed shorts with an old fave pair of jeans that are totally ripped at the knee and hem. They're soo comfy that I was thinking of how to repurpose them. =)

    Great video! I liked it so much that I just hit that subscribe button (woop woop!). This was my first video by you, so I cannot wait to watch all of your other DIY videos. I'm a full time college student, so ballin on a budget is what I am all about right now, and your channel will come in handy.

    Everyone talking about how lucky people are for thigh gaps.
    You all are lucky you can wear shorts to school!
    My arms are so long that for my shorts to be finger length would go about 3 or 4 inches above my knee :\

    I wouldn't recommend it. Fabric glue is a pretty cheap option & in my opinion, the better type of glue to use with a project like this.
