Turn Old Jeans into Cute Shorts: an easy upcycle

Worn at the knee or simply too short? Happiest Camper shows you how to cut old jeans down into cute shorts, including how to get the length right and hem the openings for a neat finish.

This is the perfect scrap-saving project, and a brilliant way to rescue jeans the kids have outgrown. Take your time marking the cut line so both legs end up even.
