Supplies: fabric (1 yard)
pair of shorts
The warm weather is almost here and it inspires me to start sewing summer pieces. Shorts are such a small piece of clothing that you can add color and prints too. I've always loved the victorian, shabby chic type fabrics and what a cute pair of shorts they made. I'm not fond of making pants/shorts...they never fit well. This time I drafted a pattern from a nice fit pair of shorts and it worked out perfectly.
Draft a pattern from shorts and copy where to sew. Find a pair of shorts that are simple to recreate. These had the zipper on the side seam which was perfect.
cute...
So cool and very individual.

ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable - and I can't decide which I wish I could do more - get inside your lovely and creative head for a day or raid your closet! :)
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog! It's cool! I was searching for t-shirt remakde ideas or something like that. It was fun to find the lace skirt from an oversized shirt, since I just made one myself, only, not white, but mint colour. Cost me less than a pound, or less than 2$ where you from.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and happy Easter!

Where did you find this fabric? It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteis this Waverly fabric? I have the very same print on my living room window treatments. Beautiful!!! I love the shorts you made.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, these are the absolute cutest! Love the cut, idea...and especially, the fabric! How thick was this fabric? Or..what kind of fabric was it?
ReplyDeleteI have an old pair of leather pants from 1984 (think MC Hammer style, lol) that I want to turn into a great pair of shorts. If the waist wasn't 20" I would have just made them skinnies, but alas, who has a 20" waist besides an 8 year old? haha! So glad I found this site for the inspiration! You are so creative!
