Creating cute overall shorts from the plain, straight-legged overalls that are used for gardening is a fun activity and is worth the time.Overall shorts can quickly become a cute bottom that goes with virtually any top.)
Step 1: You can find a pair of overalls.
A good pair isn't getting worn because they are unfashionable.Any color can be used, from navy to white.Try them on and see if they fit.You're turning them into shorts if they are too short.
Step 2: To mark the inseam of the overalls, use a pen.
Do you want your shorts to fall?The overalls should be taken off.
Step 3: Measure 3–4 inches below the mark you made at the inseam using a ruler.
You will cut the shorts here.You can always cut off more if you run on the long side instead of the short side.
Step 4: Measure how far from the bottom of the leg the mark is.
It's important to note that measurement.Measure the outer seam of the leg and mark it at the same location as the mark on the inseam.Cut the leg by making a line.
Step 5: Take the overalls and divide them in half.
Cut off the extra on the other pant leg when you line up the legs.
Step 6: The overalls can be Bleached.
If you want the overalls to be a lighter color, put them in a large plastic tub.Halfway with water.Add a small amount of bleach.Allow time for the desired color to be reached (anywhere from 2 hours to overnight).It's time to rinse the overalls.They should be put in the washer on the spin cycle.
Step 7: You can add color.
If you want the mellow, stained look some jeans have, fill a large tub halfway with hot water.Add one cup of coffee grounds and stir until you have a deep brown liquid.Let the overalls sit overnight.Remove the overalls.They should be put in the washer on a spin cycle.
Step 8: The overall shorts should be put on.
Do you remember how you cut them?Roll the shorts up twice to get a finished look.To achieve a frayed look, use a dull knife and pull the threads at the ends of the shorts and cut the really long threads off.)
Step 9: Please add whatever you want.
It is possible to glue on rhinestones.The paints are permanent.There are fabric paint designs that can be added.Cool patches can give them a boost.Have fun with them!
