Being a pack rat finally paid off!!
I have a tendency to hold on to things for too long. I have definitely come a long way in this area. But I can't stand to see something wasted! Well, with 4 children in the house, three of them being boys, there are bound to be many knees of jeans worn out! But...throw them away! I don't think so! So for a couple of years, some of these jeans have been just sitting in the closet. Some of them are "newly" worn out. Does that even make sense? Hopefully you get the idea. But I only got my sewing machine about 2 months ago. So holding on to all those jeans finally paid off. I cut the jeans off where the hole was. Not a lot of measuring and figuring. I just cut them right at the hole. Then I slid those babies in the sewing machine...and wah lah! Shorts! I have hemmed a total of 7 pairs of shorts (one is not pictured). The way I see it, my machine nearly paid for itself! What a savings! That's 7 less pairs of shorts I have to buy this summer!!

That is too crafty Shannon...This is so exciting to me :) You did a great job on those shorts!
Great idea, Shannon. It is always good to be thrifty with our stuff. A boy can never have too many shorts.
Goodness! Did you really take that camo pair and make them denim? Ha! You're so talented! You should enter Project Runway!
