This pattern is perfect for some fun colour blocking. I used a woven dark blue from an old pair of pants, a stretch denim and a stripey tablecloth (Ikea) for this pair.
It's a pretty easy sew, the pattern instructions are clearly written, with enough pictures for a visual explanation. Just make sure you pin down the pockets with a lot of pins while sewing them into the front and back part. I rushed a bit through that part and as a result it didn't line up evenly at the top for attaching the waistband. It was easily fixed, but I'll take more care next time.
Unfortunately we're heading into winter over here, I'm hoping this pair will still fit next spring and summer. If not, I'm sure I'll be making both the rascals a couple new ones!
What a nice shorts with the big pockets! I pin't (I don't know it's the right word ;) it for the sunny days!
ReplyDeleteThese are very cool! Ande I love that the pattern goes up to 12 yrs - it's definitely going on next summer's sewing list (already!) for both mine!
