DIY: Doily Shorts


I love wearing statement shorts in the spring and summer, it adds a unique touch to any outfit and these ones really brought out my inner grandma.  The idea was really basic and only required a few things that you will probably have at home.

To start out, you're going to need: a pair of cutoff shorts, a needle and thread, and a few doilies (I recommend mixing sizes and textures to give them a patchwork vibe).


Once you have your supplies together you're going to want to arrange the doilies is the pattern that you want on your shorts, don't be afraid to overlap them when your arranging them on the shorts.  Once you have the design you want cut off any excess fabric from the doilies so them line up with the shorts. Now with your needle and thread sew the doilies onto the shorts, this was probably the most tedious part of making the shorts but the result was so worth it.


These shorts are perfect for spring and summer and can be worn with practically anything you already have in your wardrobe.  A post on how I style these shorts with be coming up soon. Love Always..
