My DIY

My first year out of high school was spent at Kwantlen, doing my first year of their Design and Technology degree program. Sadly, after that first year I realized that it just wasn't for me, but I did get the opportunity to create a lot of my own designs, turn them into patterns and then out together the actual garment. And so I have these clothes lying around that I've made, and some of them aren't exactly my style, so I did a little fixing, using my favourite vintage cut offs as a bit of a length-determiner. 

For this particular garment I created, (high waisted denim trousers), we had to also make a mock version, and so I did my mock in leopard print, (why the heck not, right?). At the time they were very outlandish, but I'm soo glad I chose leopard because now they're hot high waisted shorts! I also chopped the denim pair, and wore them out that day! 

Except for that I got a little scissor happy and cut them too short so you can see my bum, but I came up with a very exciting way to fix this: a ruffle at the back. I know, sounds odd, but just trust me, it'll look great and I'll post a picture when they're finished.
