| not to brag but this is my man &i made these silly shorts just for him ^..^ &im realizing now (as im uploading these pics) that i didn't get a snap of his butt in the shorts (you can see the back in the mirror) so i guess that's what we'll be sure to accomplish whenever he decides to take these shorts out for a spin [below] left :: the bobbin bar is expanding! right :: his one fitting, lol |

| i used two 100% cotton fat quarters (the nasa print) for one leg &about one and a quarter yards of 100% black cotton for the other leg, the lining &waistband &about a quarter of a yard of 100% purple cotton for the trimmings *shrug* ive never made pants bottoms before &i know these are shorts but shorts are just ... short pants *eye-roll* i simply traced his favorite pair of basketball shorts &made this janky pattern of only the legs of the shorts (waist band/bottom cuff not included) &then i used my straight &curved rulers to create smooth lines *click* on any pic throughout my site to open the file to its full resolution *back* [hit the "back" button to return to this post] i obviously cut up a lot more pieces in various shapes and sizes &yes i did not create a pattern for these pieces lol &yes there are no drawstring holes cause i designed my way around creating buttonholes cause ive yet to do one lol #notsorryimnotsorry so yea if you want to make these shorts yourself go for it! as far as the pockets are concerned ive been making pockets for all of my dresses since the beginning of time so yea #notsorryimnotsorry they're also fully lined cause i have a thing about how all the stupid-fucking seams OF ALL CLOTHING are on the INSIDE against the body which is just so fucking lame *booooooo* so i will be fully lining everything i make cause yea it's just how ima be! #notsorryimnotsorry so yea i do not pattern everything cause im pulling from decades of random-ass education and experiences so im no help to any "beginners" out here *shrug* there are other better people who can teach you how to sew i promise. [&the pattern is stashed on the 선 Sartorialism | Sketchbook page] |
when i first sewed on the pockets, i accidentally sewed them into the bottom leg holes
lol
but it was an easy fix
cause i just cut them off and added more purple than i had originally planned
*easy*
&im constantly being amazed by how much further i can go (&faster) now that perfection is no longer my metric.
