I have five pairs of jeans and some fabrics, can you ladies post some ideas on how to refashion these jeans? They are all high waisted except one pair! I was thinking of using the fabric for the pockets but can you tell me or post pictures of any other ideas , and what I could add? These are mainly going to be for summer!

Is the white one a lace? If it is I would cut some holes in tge legs of the darkest pair and then sew lace in! I would probably do the pockets on one as you mentioned before and then on another pair I would cut one of the back pockets off and replace it with the red bandana fabric and also sew the same fabric over the belt loops just to add something else! If you're interested in making shorts then I would cut them off a little longer, sew one of the fabrics around the bottom inside, and then cuff them so you can see the fabric :) Just a few ideas, hope it helped some!

You could diy them into high waisted ombré shorts? That would look totaly cute and there are tons of videos how to on you tube!

You can cut bows and stick them on wherever you like. You can also cut out some of the fabric and stick it on the back pockets like this. (:
