For my nephew, I am making some cargo shorts for his Christmas present. I bought the
Inside-Or-Outside-Pocket-Pants pattern from
Fishsticks Designs through Etsy. These pants/shorts have side leg cargo pockets, inside pockets at the waist, a flat waist band at the front with an elasticised waist at the back. This was the first time I had ever used an e-pattern, so I was a little nervous. Stick-taping all the pages together was very easy and the pattern came up a treat. I traced it out, cut the fabric and away I went! I started this last night and finished it today, so it's been pretty quick.
Fabric was all bought from Spotlight - I just picked up some soft cotton drill. Since I was making two pairs of shorts, I picked a blue camouflage fabric for one set of shorts and a skull & crossbones fabric for the other pair.
Here's the camouflage shorts.

I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I just hope they fit now. :)
Awesome sis.
ReplyDeleteEver thought of another set for a larger kid ?
Hopped on over from EB, really like what you've done. It looks like a great pattern too.
ReplyDeleteThese look great. You've done a great job finishing them off with the top stitching on the pockets. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Yes, I'm particularly pleased with how these turned out. Very easy pattern to follow and the fabric was great to work with. :) And it all happened pretty quickly, which is always a bonus.
