Thanks dear Pamcasso (squareoldsoul.blogspot.com) and Kate (makedostyle.blogspot.com). They have both drawn up lists of essential wardrobe basics and as I only have one other pair of short shorts, I have been inspired to accomplish number 21 on Pamcasso's list -denim shorts.
As I had in excess of ten pairs of jeans, I thought I would do a touch of D-I-Y (do it yourself) and make a pair of denim shorts from a pair of Levi's 501's that I didn't wear much.
New shorts made by moi!! 
We are going to Eastbourne (a beach resort on the south coast of England) in August, so these will be ideal to wear on the beach-my days of wearing short shorts on the street are long gone-ha ha!! They will also do for wearing in the garden on hot days when we have the kids paddling pool out or when we have a barbeque. Thanks again for your style inspiration, Pamcasso!!

Great DIY idea! I need some denim shorts and may do the same!
You've inspired me to diy some very weird denim shorts i have.
It would be lovely to trade links. Cheers.
they look great. I have done it last summer, at first I feel a bit bad about cutting them, but then, it was ok.
So clever Sharon! I need too a pair of jeans shorts Do-it-yourself.
Hugs.

Perfect! Don't you love making new things out of clothes you never wear.
I should do this more often!
It's cherry season? I'll have to grab my umbrella and head on over to the shops to buy some! Yum!
Trust me, my days of short shorts anywhere but the beach are long over too :-)

Hi Kate-thanks so much!!
Hi mey-A lot of girls wear these shorts with black tights underneath!!
Hi Nic-yes, saves buying a pair!!
Hi pamela-yes, go for it!! Have swapped links too!
Hi atelier-yes, I know what you mean-it takes me time to get used to the newer style too!!
Hi alice-yes, you should go for it!!
Hi fashionable obsessions-I most probably wouldn't have worn them as jeans anymore-so at least I've got my shorts now!
Hi winnie! I'm sure cherries are in now-hope so!!
Hi wendy-LOL-yes, totally agree!!
Hi Kamel-thanks for your lovely comments!
Hi pamcasso-you should go for it-it knocks another one off your list!!
Hi danz-thanks so much!!
Hi aizat.cinta.goddess-Yes, this style is always in fashion!!
oooh these are cute
nice job!x
I have been wanting to do this for a while but I am scared to ruin my jeans and end up with 2 unwearable things! You seem to have managed it very well, so I may give it a go. x
hi sharon!
i have a pair of self-made denim shorts too, and..well i don't quite dare to wear them on the street either. their high time was last summer, when i was going jogging with my best friend in the countryside ^^
The shorts are so lovely, dearest Sharon! Now you can't wait for August to come, right?:)) Have a great day!
HEY
GOOD POST
MY POST ALSO SAME
The shorts look really nice and comfortable :).
Nice job, I see these shorts in all the shops right now and I keep wondering why people don't just do this themselves. Who doesn't have a pair of old jeans around the house?

i hope you enjoy every minute of your busy life
you are fantastic!!!
a kiss for you, my dear friend!

yes
or
no

Hi kirsty-thanks very much!!
Hi wendy may-I would suggest not cutting too short and then cutting higher if needed-you can't do this the other way round!!
Hi cate-yep, I love the shorts but wouldn't wear them everywhere!! At least you have age on your side!!
Hi Ida-I really can't wait to have some beautiful sunny weather and then hitting the beach in August! Hope you are having a good day too!
Hi rohit-thank you! Yes, we can exchange links
Hi nadine-thanks a lot!!

Hi misshauttefashion-thanks for stopping by my blog-yes, it feels like you're getting a new piece of clothing again!!

Hi fashion is poison-yes, that is the only trouble-maybe next time start at just above the knee and go up very gradually!
