Another Easy DIY
Here's a little DIY I worked on recently...remember the cut-off jeans I thrifted...
...they were a little too tight for a mom of a certain age...so I decided to try a little DIYon them...first I dipped the jeans in bleach...that whitened the bottom...then I wrapped the jeans in rubber bands and quickly dipped the entire shorts into the bleach...they came out with this great batik pattern on top...love.
...next, I cut open the sides...this is where I added the fabric panels...giving me the much needed slouchy fit that I love...
...it was pretty easy...on a DIY scale from 1 to 10...this is a 4. Well, maybe not a 4...you do need a sewing machine...I wouldn't try to hand sew this...
...look at the cool pattern I got from tying them up with rubber bands and dipping them in bleach...
...I patched a hole with fabric...
The first pair turned out so cute...I did another pair...they remind me of something you would find at Anthropologie or FreePeople...Only, mine are cooler and didn't cost $158.00...
I should probably sell them on ETSY.

Very cute, you could definitely sell, what kind of fabric are the side panels made of?]
