What a week! I definitely logged some extras hours to complete these shorts, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thrilled to be finished.
I learned a lot of things the hard way on these little bad boys, but I am very happy with how they turned out. I used this tutorial from Made, although I designed my own pocket shape and instead of pants, I made clam diggers that roll up to shorts. My favorite bits are the details.
I lined the pockets in red and added two lines of red top stitching to the openings.
The buttons are from my great grandmother's stash, and I feel like the little roll-up tabs really make the shorts.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure I'll be sewing anything else for a while, I just don't have the stamina. However, I am so glad that I participated in the KCWC. I learned a ton, was super inspired, and ended up with quite a few new things for Jude's wardrobe. He seems pretty happy about it.
I want to thank Meg for hosting such a fun challenge. My favorite part has been seeing all the amazing things everyone else created on the flickr group. KCWC, not easy, but to borrow Jude's favorite word ...
... nice!
