Shorts! Shorts! Shorts!

It’s starting to get very warm out here (high of 90 today), so shorts are becoming a necessity. I decided it was time for me to try to make some from a pattern.

I was inspired by these lovely shorts:

Capture

Banana Republic. Love! $55. Ouch.

Now, I’ve never made pants or shorts from scratch before, but I figured you gotta start somewhere, right?

Here is how they turned out!

I like them!

They’re pretty high wasted…

all the way up to the belly button area

all the way up to the belly button area…not sure how I feel about that

But other than that, they’re super lightweight (linen-type fabric) and adorable!

Hubby told me to show off the back... here you go. the back! :)

What do you think of the pattern? Too much? Or super cool?
