Jean shorts

I have no idea what’s in style anymore… I can’t believe that I’m such a “mom” that way… but it’s also freeing — I just wear what I find to be beautiful, or fun, or whatever.

So I’ve had this pair of (boot cut) jeans for almost 8 years now, but I’ve never really been happy with them because the inseam (I think that’s what it’s called?) curved around to the front of my left calf (ignore my “mom” body… I’m no model). And now that it’s summer and I need a pair of shorts (a longer, more modest pair), I decided to make a really girly pair, with ruffles and all…

I used seam binding/hem tape on the inside and outside, to finish it off smoothly…

Now I want to make a tank top to go with them, but that might be waaay too girly… we’ll see if I can find some way to make it a bit rough/unfinished, or something.

Anyway, this is what I’ve been up to, instead of making that petal top. Now my husband and I are going to try to make a room divider from old closet doors … and then I’ll get back to the petal top — really!
