The Summer heat is rolling in and that means it is the perfect time to sew up some adorable new shorts! On my hunt for the perfect shorts tutorial, I stumbled across this wonderful
Summer Shorties Tutorial from Emily of
Nap Time Creations, which includes a FREE sewing pattern that is incredibly easy to follow! All of the little ones in your life will want to wear these shorts everyday. In addition to pairing well with a basic tee or tank, these shorts are perfect to wear under dresses and skirts too! Happy Sewing!
Making these cute little shorties is a breeze! Emily suggests sewing in the elastic on the waistband first with a zig-zag stitch and then folding it and going back around using a double stitch. This way you get a good amount of stretch and a nice and polished look.
For a nice and comfy fit,
cotton jersey and
cotton lycra fabrics would be a great place to start. A few of my picks from the store:
We hope you enjoy this tutorial! We love to see what you sew up so please send 1-2 images of any project you make with Girl Charlee Fabrics to gcblog@girlcharlee.com and you might see your creation featured in our next KnitPicks!
Happy Sewing!
