Turn old to something new

I've had these jeans shorts for ages and this spring I took them out of my wardrobe thinking "hey these shorts are actually really cool, why haven't I worn them more often?" When I saw this DIY-project I wanted to create my own version of studded jeans shorts. Here is my tutorial for you about how to make your old shorts look like a totally new piece of clothing.
 
Here's what you need:
 
 
Rip off the outer corner of the back pocket. When you fold the lose part of the pocket it should form a triangle. Attache the corner with a stud to the other side of the pocket. If the fabric is too thick for the stud to go through you can simply sew the corner and add the stud as an ornament (as I did). After this add the studs to the triangle area at the outer corner of the pocket.
 
 
If you have leftover studs or you just prefer to locate them somewhere else than the back of the shorts feel free to use your creativity with the studs. Only your imagination is the limit!
 

 
 Finalize your work by cutting of the extra threads and sewing the places that aren't looking tidy or the places that might get caught to something.
 
 
Last polish the studs with a soft cloth if there are finger prints left.
 
 
And here's the result:
 


Don't hesitate to let me know your thoughts about this post!



with love
