Mom Jeans

I really hate that high waisted jeans have been dubbed

"Mom jeans" Seriously Moms are not the only ones who have been a victim of these Jeans and at one time they were in style and almost everyone wore them. Anyways the reason I am ranting and raving is because the other day I cam across some really cute shorts here and I swear I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but they weren't! The shorts were high waisted, apparently this style has come back again? I'm fine with it, personally I like a little high waisted pant every now and again. It got me to thinking about all the thousands of "Mom jeans" out there just waiting to be cut and refashioned. I just so happened to have a pair of old jeans that were high waisted and pretty unflattering. I only wore them to do yard work in, so if I ruined them not a hug loss.



Here are the jeans after I cut them off.

It's important to remember when cutting your jeans off, don't cut too short. This is in case you want to fold them over or if you cut uneven, always longer first then go back and re cut per your liking.

I prefer to fold my shorts over and give them that huckleberry fin look ;)

I really hate the facial expression I'm making. It would be nice if my husband would tell me that I'm making a confused look.HA!

So basically all this refashion in tales is sewing a fabric of your liking to one side of the shorts and hemming the shorts in a fold over. If you choose to not fold over and hem even easier. I will be doing some more of these type of shorts with a little bling added..stay tuned!
