- In this video I share how to make boho shorts. This is a great way to reuse clothing you may have outgrown or upcycle a cute pair of jeans you find that are too small for you.

Love these❤❤❤
So timely! A pair of too small linen capris surfaced in my stash, so your tutorial will serve me well to up-cycle a new summer staple. Thank you
You are so welcome!
I did this same thing back in the early 1970s. Also embroidered my bellbottom jeans, and my jeans jacket.
You have great ideas and designs. Wishing you well. I love pockets! Really like your jumper dress. 😊. Darling. The pocket on a pocket is fun, would be great on kids clothes too. Using a sleeve for a pocket looks great too. ❤🎉❤
Yay you are back!!!
Gorgeous ❤
So adorable! I'm not someone who could cut a pocket off, I just find them to be too necessary! Lol, but these really turned out fabulous.
Sew cute!
❤very these! Thank you for showing the CORRECT way to shorten a pr of shorts!! We've all done it wrong at some time, now we know!!😊
Those blue Jean shorts are adorable! I love them so much❤
❤
Very cute. Great idea.
Love these jean shorts. Perfect use of too small jeans ❤
Those shorts turned out so cute!!
I love these shorts! You are so talented!❤
Thank you so much!!
Adorable! Great summer sew.
very cute!
Sooo cute and very artistic, good job!!❤❤
Do you think you might try a tennis skirt type thing? Like shorts in back with a panel over the front so it looks like a skirt? I could wear that to work where I can't wear shorts. Just an idea 🙂
That is a great idea. I will see what I can figure out.
So cuuute 😂❤
Cool
I don't know if it's an age thing but I hate distressed jeans. I like the look of visible mending and applique patches. These shorts are really cute. Cut off jeans were really in style when I was in high school and I remember how hard it was to cut them off evenly, it never occurred to me to measure first.
So adorable. Need to make these! Thank you so much!
These are so cute. And, I do have a couple of jeans that are too small on me. But, I LOVE what you're wearing? Is that a dress? Tunic?
I'm so glad you like them. The tunic is from this tutorial but I made it shorter.

@@SherryJonesDesigns thank you ❤️
These are super cute Sherry. I'm glad you're doing more boho stuff (though I like everything you do!). I really enjoy learning from you.
I wonder why you (and others) measure from the hem up, when cutting pants into shorts, skirts or anything. If you measure from the hem up, any possible unevenness will be transferred to the upcycled item. Whereas if you measure from the waist down you can be sure that the resulting item will the the right length all the way around. I just think I must be missing something because so many people do measure from the hem up.
And - I'd be happy if you cut less from your videos. In other words, even with these upcycled shorts, I'd enjoy a longer video. Perhaps you don't give yourself enough credit for your entertainment value. You certainly make videos that are good tutorials. I like that a lot. But a little longer would also be pleasant to watch. E.g., this one is 11.5 minutes - I think 15 minutes would be fine! You are nice just to sit with Sherry!
Here's purely my taste - on the sides, when sewing in the added panel, I feel like doing it wrong sides together so teh raw edges show is cute but adds bulk. I.e., if I wear that and look at my hips they are wider because of that seam sticking out. I know a lot of people are OK with that. What I might do it sew the wrong side of the fabric panel to the right side of the denim. That way teh seam will be flatter, but I'll get the raw edge of the added panel.
See Sherry - you inspire so many ideas!
I'm so glad you like my videos so much that you even want to hear me more. I must be doing something right. The reason I don't measure from the waist down is that the waist isn't straight across....it dips down in the front whereas the hem goes straight across and the hem is what I want to transfer.
Aha! Now I
understand measurements from the bottom. Seems obvious now that you say it.
Yes you're doing something right! Friendly, engaging (feel like we're there with you), educational but not complicated.
These are so cute
❤ 😁
Can you share how you sewed the small pieces of fabric and lace onto the front and back of shorts? Did you just stitch around them with your sewing machine? Did I miss that part in the video?
I always just make sure the lace is facing the right way. Lace has a right side and wrong side just like fabric and then you can decide if you want it to be under or on top of the denim and then I just used a straight stitch and sewed it on. Hope that helps.
Hey you stole my idea! Just kidding, but I am in the middle of doing this very thing. I even will cut my pocket off like that! Thanks for the video.
I read your mind......its a secret power of mine.....ha ha
I want to start up cycling some of my clothes but I am curious how long one of these would take from beginning to end.
It would all depend on how well you could sew and how many embellishments one added. I spend more time usually in the design process than the sewing. If you knew what you wanted to make and had it all laid out ....I think 2- 3 hours is likely a good estimate.
I'm new to discord, not sure how to join group. The invitation is expired. I'd like to share my makes using your tutorials!
Here is a fresh new link. I think you have to have an account to get in. discord.gg/Wm2c6nUw
I accidentally broke Discord but I think it is up and running again. So sorry.
Edit (hours later)....Im so done with Discord. It is gone...I'm sorry....it is too complicated for me...in more than one way and I will leave it at that.
If you add 4 inches (or more) to the waist/hip circumference, how does that affect the rise fit ?
It doesn't. The rise stays the same. However, I would compare the rise of whatever jeans you are going to use the jeans that fit you well before alterations begin. As long as the rise is right in the one's you want to alter, it won't change when adding width to the garment.
@SherryJonesDesigns I would worry that increasing the size so much, width wise, waist wise, would throw the proportion off. If the waist stayed same measurement, it would be OK, but I think I'll measure first. Altering to wider waist may need to start with a 'high rise' style waistband to compensate for larger overall body size.
Good idea and something that should have been in the video
Cute but not the lace
I also thought about putting red checked flannel at the end of the one I used flannel and distress on but they would be adorable without the lace and probably more functional in reality.
@@SherryJonesDesigns just to girly for me 😂
I actually love the lace!!! But to each their own.
