DIY the Perfect Summer Mom Shorts in 5 Minutes
Here, I’m going to show you how to DIY the perfect summer mom shorts in 5 minutes or less.
Grab a pair of high-waisted jeans, either from the back of your closet or the thrift store, that you want to transform, and let’s get started!
Tools and materials:
- Jeans
- Measuring tape
- Tailor’s chalk
- Scissors
1. Mark inseam
Grab a pair of jeans and lay them flat.
To get your pair of shorts to be the perfect length, you want the inseam to be 3.5 inches (9cm).
Put your measuring tape at the crotch, measure this length, and mark it with tailor’s chalk.
2. Draw line across
Lay the measuring tape across from this mark and draw a line with the tailor’s chalk.
3. Cut jeans
Proceed to cut along the line. I’m using electric scissors, but an ordinary pair of fabric scissors would work just as well.
Then, proceed to cut the other leg.
4. Distress shorts
If you want to distress the shorts then you can - you can cut holes in them and/or tousle the bottoms with a pair of scissors.

Give these shorts a go for yourself!
