DIY: Scallop Shorts

I have these old pair of white shorts that was barely used, and I've also seen a lot of scallop shorts lately, I've been meaning to buy one, but I thought, hey, I could make one!

(BEFORE: LOUSY WHITE SHORTS)

Tools/Materials:
*A pair of shorts
*Scissors
*Pen and Cardboard for making the scallop pattern

Because the shorts were naturally cuffed, I cut the thread connecting the cuff. As you can see in the first  picture of this post, I already removed the cuff.



STEP 1:
Using the cardboard, pen, and scissor, make a scallop pattern. It depends on you on how big or how small the scallop should be.

STEP 2:
Trace the scallop pattern on the shorts.


STEP 3:
Using a zigzag stitch, sew the outline of the stitch and then cut the rest, leaving only the scallops.


VOILA! Scallop shorts :D I'd have to say, it turned out better than what I expected :D




Have a great day guys! :)
