Quick Fix: Resizing Jean Shorts

This is something I am very new to within the DIY world. I have been trying to find new and easy ways to fix different types of thrifted finds. Here is one of the most popular trends when fixing thrifted denim.

First You are going to cut down both sides of the shorts.

Then you are going to measure how much you want to take off and mark the line.

From there you will hot glue along the line.

After this you are going to fold over the excess fabric and hot glue it down facing the backside of the shorts.

Fold the jean shorts back to normal and the sides should look something like this.

This is what they are going to look like from the front. They fit very well. Even though it isn’t as professional as sewing it is a fast and easy fix! This project was a very easy way to go about fixing thrift finds, but I would definitely suggest sewing for a more permanent well done look.
