Girl Charlee Fabrics is very excited to announce the arrival of the Made with Moxie pattern line to our growing family of independent sewing patterns. Creator Jill Dorsey has just launched her first pattern, the Prefontaine Shorts! Inspired by running shorts from the 1970s, these versatile sewing patterns are available in both adult and children's versions, and best of all they can be made from both knit fabrics AND specialty woven fabrics. Here is a little more information about Jill and her patterns.

We wanted to see what these shorts could do so we sent Jill some selected fabrics to try out. She sewed up a pair using our uber comfortable French Terry fabric and we all just love the results. Read Jill's experience on her blog, Made with Moxie.
We love how you can dress these shorts up, as well as keeping them casual. Use a specialty woven or ponte de roma to create the perfect shorts to go out on the town.
Thank you Jill for showing us how amazing this pattern is with so many different fabric choices to sew it up in!
