Making your own cutoff shorts

[Jazzy1]

Did you made your own cut-off shorts from a pair of old jeans?

 

[Aunt Bea]

Yes!


Shorts and improvised swimsuits for boys and girls!

I remember using a needle or safety pin to pick out threads and fray/fringe the leg openings.

I was not allowed to wear shorts in public. To this day, I do not own any. Funny how those things stick with you.

I did that with old jeans. I don't think it was unusual. No one ever commented on it.
