I got these Levis pants at a local charity shop, and they were 5 dollars, so I decided to buy them, and see if I could turn them into a pair of shorts. And it turned out great, and it was so inexpensive. So here's before and after pictures of the pants/shorts. As you can tell they were not pretty at all, and they were way to big for me. But the shorts fits perfectly.
