Wide Leg Shorts Sew Along

Wide Leg Pants Sew Along

Shorts Edition

Materials Needed:

• Wide Leg Pants Pattern
• Freezer Paper (optional)
• Main Fabric
• Knit Waistband Fabric

Gather materials.

Trace pattern pieces onto freezer paper.

If adding pockets, mark pocket placement onto freezer paper.

Cut all pattern pieces; two front, two back and two pockets (making sure to cut the fabric with two layers, wrong sides together).  I cut the pattern at the shorts cutting line which results in fairly short shorts.  If you prefer a longer length short, extend the cut line 2-4 inches.

Tomorrow we will construct most of the shorts and then finish the shorts on Wednesday.  The Wide Leg Pants pattern is simple and fast.

Triple Ruffle T-Shirt Dress ... hip-length measurement guide

I was recently asked the question on what the side seam of the shirt you are using for the Triple Ruffle T-Shirt should be.  Obviously the side seams are going to vary when you are using a pre-made store bought shirt.

The following measurements can be used as a guide for the length of a hip-length t-shirt.

T-SHIRT MEASUREMENT GUIDE

The following measurements are in inches.  Length is measured along the side seam, from the armpit to the hem. Sizes are only guides and are based on average measurements.

Please let me know if you have ANY questions.

NEW pattern release ...

I'm actively editing a new pattern.  It is a woven dress and SUPER duper cute!  I'll admit it is definitely categorized as intermediate (NOT beginner) ... but oh my word is it worth the extra effort.

It will be released on Friday, July 7th ... I can't wait to share it with you.  

Sneak peek of my fabric choice above ... this dress was worthy to be cut in Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow coordinates ... LOVE!
