...for the initial fraying of cut-off shorts, I highly recommend a seam ripper (or knife) and some sandpaper.
(I don't mean to get on a soapbox here, but capri pants make everyone look shorter and chubbier than they actually are. I mean, I'm 5'11" and they make my legs look like stumps. I am swearing capris off for the summer).
Cut-off shorts don't really require a full tutorial. Let's just say:
- Cut the shorts, slightly longer than the desired length.
- Rub sandpaper horizontally and vertically along the edge of the cut to fray.
- Alternate between sandpaper and a seam ripper (or knife) to further fray the edge.
- Keep alternating distressors until you're satisfied with the look (it'll only fray more in the wash).
- ...and then you're done!
