DIY Leopard Print Mini Shorts

I bought some very cute palazzo style pants in my local thrift store recently, but as stipulated by rules of the thrift store, I was unable to try them on (NO TRY MISSY NO TRY!!!). I got home and they were a good 4 inches too short for me ('expecting floods' length) - it is Asia after all. So I decided to make some shorts out of them. Simple job - measure, cut, sew, done. Outfit pics to come.
