Video instruction by Indiana Adams of Adored Austin:
Prize: Win a pair of custom jeans from INDI.
INDI makes jeans right, and because you cut up a pair of jeans to participate in the jorts challenge, the person who makes the jean shorts chosen as the best by the folks over at INDI will win a pair of brand new jeans that are custom made for your own body. Can you believe it? These INDI jeans will last you a lifetime, and even better? You build ‘em yourself online, and someone else does the construction for you. Give ‘em your measurements, choose your cut, choose your finish, even choose your pockets, cuffs, and belt loops. Your jeans are built to you based on your specifications and mailed to you and will be yours to love forever. Check out INDI here.

Showcase:
Made This / Love This is a place to DIY together. Projects are easy for newbies but are modifiable so that seasoned DIY'ers can have fun, too. 
DIY projects are like parties: They're more fun with others. Showcase what you've been working on and see how others are doing the same thing. 
Indiana has the tendency to bite off more than she can chew, but she masticates with ferocity unmatched in Austin. She thinks this site is a good idea.
Can’t wait to make some jean shorts!
But I really, really want to make the bikini pants. PLEASE?!?! Why are you so mean, ugggh.
Kidding. I think the turnout for this project will be great!
i’m not a shorts wearer, i’ll do some bitchin capris though.
LOL! My husband and I both saw the bikini pants and went WOAH! at the same time. I guess I should be off to Goodwill in search of some mom jeans!
so funny! I was going to start on this very project this weekend! I am really wanting to wear cut off jeans this spring/summer!
Thank goodness it’s not the bikini inspired jeans! Whew!! My butt’s not blingin enough for those! I’m super excited about the jorts – just in time for warmer weather.
Ah! I love it. Very Mary Kate Olsen.
Can’t wait! I haven’t actually got an jean shorts
Yet!
OMG! I was shocked to see the bikini jeans – nice one. Did you post that on April 1st? Well, I definitely won’t be wearing those, but I’ll try the real project (as soon as I finish my t-shirt scarf).
Can not wait for this one!!!
YES! can’t wait for summer! AND SHORTS!
I finished mine!
Anyone know what is happening with Made This, Love This? Is it just not happening anymore?
It has been hacked and it has been a process to get it restored.
Thanks for the info!
Oh, i missed this one!
I’m still going to try it out although i actually just own a couple of pairs of jeans. I might have to thrift some.
