Inspired by Meg, I decided to try my hand at the Coastal Cargos by Blank Slate Patterns. Oh man, these bad boys nearly killed me. So many details. Too many details.
I skipped the zipper fly, bias tape inseam, and belt loops, and yet I still felt as though I'd never finish. Until I did. And now I am so glad I pushed through. I love them + Jude loves them = victory; sweet, sweet victory.
They are made of a cotton bottom weight from Joann, plus I eeked out enough left over houndstooth from these shorts for the details. As always, I have been so very inspired by all the amazing garments filling up the flickr pool. If I didn't know there was a wonderful group of gals sewing their hearts out, I probably would have thrown in the towel. All right, my brain is officially fried, so I will leave you with a few more pictures.
Hooray for another successful Kids Clothes Week!
