I don't have a hawaiian shit, nor would I want a piece of one on my shorts. I'm just gonna be following these up to step four to make some nice slim fit shorts.

This is sweet I usually just cut the legs off of my old pants and then you sew a stitch about 1/4 inch above the cut. After you wash them it will frey but not go past the line it looks really cool.
