{DIY} Fabric-embellished shorts

I have another pair of spruced-up shorts to share. This project was inspired by Emma at Food Coma. I loved her southwestern shorts and the idea of adding fun fabric to denim shorts. I stowed that idea away in my brain for awhile, then came across these linens (placemats, maybe?) at an antique store for two dollars, and thought they would be a perfect addition to my little ol' shorts. The fabric is just cut to fit the shorts, then sewn on... with a little fringy fringe at the bottom!
