Denim hot pants revamp, Hilfiger stylee part 2

So once you have finished cutting both sides you should have something that looks like this

Now you need to rough the edges up, this being said its by far easier, and looks better if you use a pair of REAL denim jeans rather than these elastic cotton mixes as they don't Frey so well, it takes more work to make them look authentic. I find the easiest way to do this part is with a cheese grater but you can do a good enough job with just a pair of scissors, open them half way, as though we're about to make a ribbon curl, and in the same way you would pull the ribbon, pull the denim along the sharp edge .....BE CAREFUL 


This part can be tedious, but just keep going with it and don't be afraid, it's not really something you overdo!!

 Next get your material that your going to use and cut out the shape you want, for mine, I'm just going cover from under the pockets on the front
