I saw shorts like these in a store in China Town a couple of months back, and have wanted to DIY them ever since. Now that I'm officially on uni holidays, I finally have the chance to do some sewing!

I saw shorts like these in a store in China Town a couple of months back, and have wanted to DIY them ever since. Now that I'm officially on uni holidays, I finally have the chance to do some sewing!

Instructions

  1. Small blog3

    1. Cut out two shapes (I did love hearts) from your patterned fabric. Use a stencil like I did, or fold the fabric over itself and cut the shapes out together in order to get the exact same shape for both sides.

  2. Small blog4

    Now you have two identical shapes on your square of fabric.

  3. Small blog5

    Cut the shapes out from your fabric, and place them onto the shorts wherever you would like them to sit.

  4. Small blog6

    Pin the shapes onto your shorts.

  5. Small blog7

    Using a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine...

  6. Small blog9

    ...sew onto the edges of the shape, all the way around (and make sure you are not also sewing the front and back of the shorts together!)

    You are done! Go you!
