shorts

Over at Imagine Gnats they are having a shorts sew along. This turned out to be the motivation I needed to make something else for myself. I used the free pattern pieces from Becky at Owly Baby found here. However I made quite a few changes.

Since I have never made shorts before I just wanted something fast and simple to figure out the size and shape so made a basic short. Maybe like a pajama pant? No pockets, no zipper, no cuff, just a flat waist band with some elastic in the back to hold them on. Also had to some length and size the pattern down a bit.

They came together pretty quickly and I did master matching the pattern on the fabric across pattern pieces. Pretty stoked! They are definitely wearable and super comfy but not sure if they are something I can rock on a daily basis.....maybe to the pool as board shorts?

What do you think? Rock them or keep them as jammies?
