The other day I got the itch to make LM a pair of shorts for the summer. I had an idea of what I wanted them to look like but I needed a base pattern to work from, so I searched through my stash of vintage patterns until I found one in her size that I could remix.
After a little chopping and tweaking, as well as the addition of some ties in front and a pocket in back, this is what I ended up with:
Overall I am really happy with the result! I am loving the extra details and the contrasting fabric. I know these shorts will get a lot of use this summer and I just may end up making another pair. Have you ever remixed a pattern? I thought it was fun to add a little personal touch.

ReplyDeletethose shorts are just darling! I have not tried making any clothes, but would like to. right now, it's a bit intimidating!
ReplyDeletethese are too cute! how incredibly talented you are!!
ReplyDeleteI linked to this post in my blog today. Your cute shorts inspired me to use some very uninspiring brown cord I had in my stash. Next time I am at the fabric shop I am keeping an eye out for a prettier colour.
