Hello Readers. I thought this tablecloth would make a cute top and matching shorts. I was partially correct but problems developed as I got into it. Let me show you what I mean.
Before and after.
I used this shirt to cut out my top. I wanted a loose fit and this top was a great pattern.
I used this sleeve as a pattern to cut out my sleeves.
I had all my shirt pieces ready to put together. Everything was going well.
I added bias tape to the cut edges of the shirt.
I prepared to cut out my shorts. I didn't see my mistake yet.
My pieces cut out fine. I still did not see that I was going to have a problem.
I sewed the shorts together and added a waistband.
And here it is. The flower placement is really... unfortunate. I could wear the shorts with a floral crotch center or a floral butt crack. Either way, this was not great.
I wore them to a watch party at my daughter's house and either way the shorts do not look great. The shirt is fine but the shorts were not a winner in my book. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
Warning- Watch you flower placement.
