I know is not the perfect time to be showing new shorts, as in a lot of places they are having huge blizzards with a lot of snow, but here in Florida the weather has been quite good to us... even if it is more cold than always is not that hard and we can wear jeans or shorts.
The pattern I used to make them, was from the BurdaStyle magazine 07/2013 and I used a cotton blend fabric which is very thick and perfectly for my needs (remember I have 3 kids and I'm always in the ground).
I decided to make this shorts because I wanted new shorts with a bold print but not in bold colors... which are pretty difficult to find. I love that they are so loose like a little skirt, that these have nice and comfortable pockets and that it had some pleats which gives them a kind of nice touch.
These shorts are supposed to have the hem outside but when I was doing it I preferred them without it as I didn't want them that short.
The only thing I didn't liked at all is that I used a metal zipper and I though it would be the right size but it was a bit larger and I didn't knew how to cut it so I was really messing things up until I could do it.... next time a plastic one. I washed them before wear them and they got a lot of wrinkles even in the belt so I will need to iron them every once in a while.
Oops!! One photo is upside down, I'll try to fix it later, I hope you like it as it was a fun thing to do and I really like them!
lOVE!!
