    DIY tip: instead of actually cutting rips in the shorts to distress them, just use the tip of the scissors and do a back and forth scratching motion on them.

    • @spiveylas
      @spiveylas 5 років тому

      Or poke holes with the tip. That way it leaves some cross threads. :)

    If you want an actual distressed hole, cut two slits horizontally (distance apart depends on how big you want the hole to be) and then use tweezers to pull the vertical strings between the two holes. Hope this makes sense lol there’s videos on it if you want to look it up

    In the early 90's I used to do this. I also sewed lace to the bottom of acid wash jean cutoffs. Another variation I used to do was to buy a smaller waist size and cut down the thigh from top to bottom and sew in a flannel plaid insert to make them fit - if that makes any sense. I thought I was very cool :)

    I can’t with that length. I would rather cuff my jeans a few times, or wear regular shorts. I feel like shorts should fit a little looser on the leg. And those are an odd length. Gap has an awesome “boyfriend” short if your looking for cute shorts.

      @annanicoleeb 5 років тому +1

      McCall McRae I get its for religious reason but it doesn’t make sense why so long. For instance. I always went to a Christian camp and they were all about being modest. The dress code was that the shorts had to just have a three inch inseam and no shorter. That’s still modest and cute. Having shorts to your knees are almost capris.

    • @kaella463
      @kaella463 5 років тому +3

      In our religion we wear undergarments that reach mid thigh, sometimes longer on short people. So if we had shorter shorts our undergarments would poke out and nobody wants to see that! 😂😂 it definitely gets hot in the summer, but it is worth it! And it's a personal choice whether to wear the garments or not, nobody is forced.

    A little tip in wanting to distress your pants take any pants that you’re willing to distress I put something hard in between maybe piece of cardboard. And I take a butter knife I find works best and just start rubbing back-and-forth and you’ll notice the material to start to bunch away and start distressing you could also do the method you used With a scissor and then just pull the threads out of the pants a little

    I have similar story with a power drill. At about 6 years old I thought I’d play mad scientist and check to see if my older sister had a brain. I held the drill a little bit away from her head and pulled the trigger. Her hair got wrapped around it and a huge chunk of her hair got pulled out. I ran and hid in a closet, certain that my sister would hate me forever, haha. She wasn’t mad at me. But she did have to wear her hair with a part for quite a while to hide the bald spot. =)
