Hello Readers. It is August and I really want to get all my summer refashion projects done. I have a few summer items that need to get finished before fall sewing starts. (Fall sewing?? I can't believe fall is coming that soon!) Let's focus on hot weather and summer clothes while we can.
Summer shorts!
These shorts were great. They just needed a little adjustment. Because they were a little big I could make them fit the way I wanted.
I marked where I wanted the new side seams to be. I stitched my new side seam with a straight stitch and cut off the excess fabric from the side.
Actual cutting!
I used a zigzag stitch to close the cut edges and keep my shorts neat inside. This cotton fabric will fray over time. I don't want that.
I had this vintage scarf that seemed to coordinate well. I decided to use it as a belt.
I threaded the scarf through the belt loops like a belt.
Then I tied the scarf in a knot in the front where I would buckle a belt.
The shorts fit better, they are perfect for the heat of August and I really liked the scarf with the shorts. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
***Year End Update- I wore these shorts in warm weather and I love the scarf with them.
