diy: american dream shorts


Made these at the weekend, yay! I said I would make them last week I think, and I actually did, which is a good thing because I always say I'll make stuff and never actually get round to it. Obviously its not very neat, but it was my first try, so if I do it again maybe it'll go better, I dunno, but I'm quite please with how it turned out! Basically I just used some crazy masking tape skills and painted it with fabric paint, and then sewed the patch onto a pocket. At first I was going to make the patch out of an old tee, but weaved-type fabrics (really not good at describing it but non stretchy things really) are way easier to paint! Oh and I cut some jeans and rolled 'em up for the actual shorts.
looking a bit of a mess! But the taping took the longest
Painted! Looks like it's bleeding
