I made B another pair of shorts here is the before and after.
The shirt was a Large fitted long sleeved mens shirt. I had to use every single bit to make a boys size 8 shorts.
I used the clean slate shorts pattern form Melly sews. A really great pattern the instructions are easy and the sizing is right on. My one and only complaint is that it only goes up to an 8 which B is already too tall for :o(
Here you can see how I fit the pattern pieces on, I discovered that it didn't matter if my pattern had old seams in it because it really isn't that noticable with the print.
As you can see I used every last bit of the shirt for these shorts!
I used the existing shirt pockets for the back pockets, I think it worked out great even though I had to do some tricky maneuvering!
Quick, comfy and cute = a perfect sewing project!
