BIY: Highwaist Denim Cut-offs

In preparation for my holiday, I raided my loft for old pieces that I would revive for the new summer season. One of the things I was searcing high and low for were denim shorts. Unfortunately, the ones I found were just not up to scratch (style-wise). And after the torture I'd endured in the vintage store (I HATE the smell of those places) after my MEGA-HEGGA thunder thighs wouldn't fit ANY levi's cut-offs...I decided to embark on a BIY sesh.

 1. Get a fugly pair of old jeans.

 2. Mark out where to cut the jeans.

Tip - always better to mark out longer than necessary 

 3. Draw a line right across the width of denim & using scissors, cut along the marked line

4. Fold up denim to desired length

 5. (Disclaimer - for those WITHOUT mahoosive thunder thighs) FINITO

 (Disclaimer - Only continue if you struggle to pull up those babies past your knee *blush*)

6. Cut along the hem of the inner-thigh until desired length of which denim will be rolled-up

 7. Fold up to desired length. FINITO

 And there you have it...not so hard to rock this season's hottest essential at no cost at all!
