Here’s another pair of Essential Shorts I made using a dark navy linen. The dark colour was difficult to photograph and still capture the details of the shorts. This fabric was bought from my local quilting store quite a long time ago, they do have a lovely range of coloured linens to choose from though.
I received some gorgeous linens from The Drapery during the week and am hoping to get another pair of shorts made using some of it this week so I’ll be back to share!
Thanks a million for your excitement about this new pattern, it’s always hard to predict what you are going to think about them, so I’m happy when I get such encouraging comments.
The winner of the pattern giveaway is Abbe from Copper Patch. Congratulations! I’ll be in contact to grab your details 🙂
SUPPLIES: Make It Perfect, Essential Shorts pattern Navy blue linen (locally bought)
It’s a breakthrough since childbirth…I finally got my act together and produced a new pattern! Life feels semi-normal again!
I wanted to sneak in a Summery pattern before the weather turns so was motivated to get to work on this new pattern for some easy-to-wear Women’s shorts.
ESSENTIAL SHORTS
Essential Shorts are a wardrobe staple, the pair of slim-fitting shorts you will find yourself choosing over and over again.
Whether you choose to dress them up and have a fun night out or keep them casual for a relaxing day at the beach, Essential Shorts are a Summer must-have.
Essential Shorts feature a flattering front waistband, elastic back waistband and drawstrings for a perfect fit.
Sitting on the knee, they are easy and comfortable to wear for all of your daily duties or night time adventures!
I’ve got to say, I love wearing these shorts. The elastic in the back waistband means that they are super comfortable but the fit is still very flattering. Essential Shorts are suited to most mid-light weight fabrics. I’ve used mostly linens in my versions so far, these ones are made using Yarn-dyed Essex Linen in Denim from Robert Kaufman.
Essential Shorts are an easy fuss-free sew for any sewing level. You can easily make them a little shorter or longer if you feel like changing it up a bit and making a various pairs with different fabric choices will give variety to your Summer wardrobe.
