Turn Old Jeans into Board Shorts
Board shorts were originally designed for surfers but these days they’re worn by everyone from grannies to toddlers. A pair of board shorts are beachwear essentials, even if you’re not a a surfer. Saving money on a summer wardrobe is always good so I thought I would share my tip on making your own customised board shorts.
The most simple way to make a pair of board shorts is to take a worn out pair of jeans and simply cut off the legs above the knee.To make these really simply you don’t really need to hem the legs. Letting the hems fray just adds to their character.
Unfortunately wet denim can be quite heavy and abrasive so this style of homemade board shorts is not likely to be suitable for surfing or other water sports. But they look really cool with a vest or t-shirt, a pair of flip flops and a cool pair of sunglasses.
If you are handy with a needle and thread you might like to hem the shorts and add a little customization. One of my favourite customisation touches is to remove the rear pockets and replace them with some brightly colored material. I like to embroider my home made shorts and add a few custom patches and pieces of attractive, brightly colored material. I then wear the shorts with a long silk scarf threaded through the waist band as a belt. My boyfriend loves the way they look.
You might like to start off with a pair of old suit trousers rather than a pair of jeans. These can look really cool when cut down into board shorts, with a few embellishments. You will need to hem most old suit trousers to stop them coming apart. I always like to personalise my home made board shorts with a few custom features. You might like to add some handy side pockets made from brightly colored material or maybe embeillish the waist band.
If you don’t have any old suit trousers why not pay a visit to a nearby charity shop. There are always plenty of old trousers to be found and you’ll be doing your bit for the environment by recycling them into a fresh pair of wearable shorts.
