    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.

      i wish i would have seen this soap comment after getting pencil all over my fabric...

      White crayon,or white colored pencil works as well

    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!!

    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
    @erinbechtold4728 Před 3 lety +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!

  • @AlyssaB25
    @AlyssaB25 Před 4 lety +4

    @thrifthaula5118 Před 4 lety +4

    Fun video! Thanks for showing that you don't really have to pull out all the threads in the slits! I've only seen videos that show you have to pull out the threads! I plan on doing a pair soon!

    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. 🔥

    This is a good technique! I've used a dremel rotary tool as well to get immediate results on place like the the pockets, zips and waistband.

  • @just.j5302
    @just.j5302 Před 4 lety +11

    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 Před 3 lety

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

    • @just.j5302
      @just.j5302 Před 3 lety +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
