HOLY COW! There is so much inspiration out there for denim shorts! Usually I'm more of a skirt/dress person in the spring and summer, but I'm just really feeling all the cool shorts out there and wanna be a part of it all. I wish you could all come to my house and have a big ole' DIY party, sip on mojitos, laugh, and have a good time. Instead it looks like the hubby is gonna be helping me out because I can't wait any longer to do this. Originally I was going to wait on this post until after I finished making the shorts, but I just couldn't wait. I mean can you tell how excited I am about this?
Okay, so I can't tell you ALL the ideas that are running around in my mindthat I'm sure is run by mignons, then there would be no element of surprise. But here are a few...
Tonight I am going to the Airmen's Attic to scout around for good denim that I can turn around and destroy. The Airmen's Attic, which is on base, is like a goodwill but FREE to certain ranks and their families. Last time I walked out with a like new Ann Taylor sheer blouse and a Jessica Simpson dress that still had the tags on it. But tonight, not only will I be looking for myself but for my daughter as well. I figured since I'm gonna have the dye out and getting dirty anyway I might as well make her some shorts to match mommy. She will really appreciate it...after all, at her age (4) she still thinks mommy is pretty cool.

Tomorrow I'll go get all the materials I need (dye, paint, etc) and then start having fun. Hopefully the weather is a bit nicer than it has been so that I can do all this outside on the porch. Come Monday I will post tutorials and pictures so that you can try it out to! YIPPY I'm overflowing with excitement***Also don't forget to enter the giveaway HERE because it will close out tomorrow (Friday) at midnight eastern time.

I'm the same way! Just not willing to pay that much for any of these shorts when I know that I can make them for so much less. I'd love to see how yours turn out when you're finished.
DeleteGreat inspirational post!

Ahh, this makes me so impatient for summer! It's raining here in Cali today, and the weather has been teasing me. It was shorts weather just a few days ago, and now it's freezing. Can't wait to get some dyed shorts!
