Note - if they’re not the exact same length after cutting don’t cut again because of the risk of them being too short, just fold one hem up more, pretty self explanatory really.
And you’re done! You saved yourself 20 pound and you’ve got shorts that no-one else does! Do it.
Ps. Always keep your left over material you never know when it’ll be useful.

Ever been to a vintage store? The shorts there are always so nice, and usually handmade from old jeans. But why pay £35 for shorts that another person has made when you can buy your own old jeans! Charity shops or carboot sales are the best target for old-man jeans and usually they’re not expensive! I got a pair of leather trousers from a vintage/junk shop in Germany for 9 euros and they’re surprisingly good quality. MAKE SURE your leather trousers or jeans are too big for your hips and fit on your waist for high-waisted shorts, plus if they fit nicely on your legs then they’ll be way too tight when you roll them up - a common mistake I made a lot! So once you’ve got a perfect pair of jeans or leather trousers, the hard part’s over. All you need now is a pair of scissors. In order to make sure the legs are the same length fold the jeans/trousers in half and cut each leg together. Put them on and fold the hem up whilst you’re wearing them in order to make sure they’re even.
