Hello dear sewers, I'm back with these peaceful shorts made out of remnants, because there comes a time in every woman's life when she must dig into that forgotten bin :)
Stop by RUMS to check out inspirational makes.
Fabric: Stretch fuzzy Peace Signs
Pattern: A slight modification to B5895 from Butterick
And yes..... the shorts have pockets!!!!
Modifications......made shorts instead of pants, omitted the zipper in the center back and the waistband.
All seams were sewn with the serger, therefore I didn't have to add extra seam allowance to fit through the hips :)
Gotta love those hips!!!!
The waistband is folded elastic, which was attached using a coverstitch (CoverPro 1000 CPX). This machine was designed to cease all struggle with stretchy material. It sews a straight stitch on the right side of the garment, but creates a chain on the underside, which allows for expansion.
Almost forgot to mention........ best results with wooly nylon thread.
The center back and side seams do not match..... and this is my excuse "I made these shorts with remnants" But the feel and fit is wonderful! It's a must try pattern. Instructions are extremely easy, give it a go!
