Add lace or other fancy accessories along the hem of the fabric for a more stylish and innovative look. There, you are now ready with a pair of new shorts, designed and styled just the way you like it!

Craft a Printed Denim

We all have that one pair of jeans we love. We wear them so much that they become faded and worn. You don’t have to get rid of them, your love for the pair can continue and even grow once you are done transforming them.

All you need is some fabric paint or dyes to give your old pair of jeans a new colourful look. You may make use of some pre-designed blocks made for the purpose of fabric block painting or even design your own. Try to maintain consistency and uniformity for the best results.

Turn Old Tees Into Workout Shirts

You don’t need to buy shirts for your workout session. Take a look in your wardrobe and consider the potential there to turn your old tees into workout shirts. It may seem tricky but it’s really fun to do.

To start, cut out the neckline of your old t-shirt. You may remove the sleeves and the bottom hem as required. Experimenting with the sleeves is a good idea, that way if you mess up, you still have room to completely remove the sleeves, leaving you with a simple workout shirt.

Once you are done cutting the extras, twist or braid the shirt into a racer back, then tie the upper part to seal it. This shirt is a great look for your workout session or a casual day out.
