Paper Bag style Shorts for Grand Daughter to go with her Retro Top.
This high waist shorts are popping up in a lot of boutiques here.
The pattern is a learn to sew as it is so simple. Elastic waist and pull cord like a bag at the waist. Has side pockets as well.
Thought this would be a quick one she can make on a visit here as long as I have the size right.
Very disappointed with the instructions not advising to zig zag raw edges or use pinking shears to stop fraying. All other directions were good. I could see a learner spending money and time and have it fray in the first wash.
This fabric was a type of Cheesecloth with a self stripe.
It would have frayed if I hadn't serged the edges.
The cords hanging down the sides you tie in a bow. I know they are too long at the moment but that was how much pattern said.
I thought I would have some fun and put a pre made label on the front.
It says Original by Nanna.
Thanks for looking.
Yes hoping something very simple and quick but smart will get her interested again. When she was younger she was keen but wanted everything finished fast.
The pattern I used is new Simplicity 8651 and price is $19.95 USA. Only the shorts in the pack just 3 different ways to do cords in waistband. My fabric store had a special and I got the pattern for $6.00
