Yes Christi.adell, where did you get that pattern? Very cute and a good length. I don't understand why girls want to wear shorts so short these days. Makes it very hard to shop for a pair of shorts. Might need to start making my own.

I don't understand why girls want to wear shorts so short these days.

Sorryfftopic:


It blows my mind when I see 15-year-olds strutting around with their parents in those short shorts. I just can't believe they let 'em out of the house like that. I'm no prude but they just look.... easy... and cheap.

 

[Christi.adell]

Wow! Thank you guys so much. It makes me feel better about them since my husband thinks they look like granny shorts (but what does he know!).

And I'm sorry I didn't post the pattern, I usually try to since if I see something I love I hope the pattern is posted. It's Simplicity 2654 and I did View C even though I left off the cuff and tabs. It's still in stores, just bought it the other day.

Hailey Greenhat - Thank you. I actually have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to hair but I've been experimenting the last few days.

Buddy5909- I agree. I hate modern shorts so much. Too short and too low, but I've always thought that way. Of course it's worse now that I've had a baby and the too low part is just hideous!

I recently finished this Anne Adams scalloped dress, circa 1940s.

Modern pattern but I was in desperate need of shorts. Plus you can't beat $3/yd fabric.

Wow love the whole outfit, and I am going to have to try and steal your hair do!!! lol Very cute!

I am kind of stuck in some bizarre tutu land right now lol. I made one for a friend, then ended up making about 15 more for other friends! In between I made this. It's my new swim suit. I didn't make bottoms, I think I may just buy those since I am not that confident when it comes to putting in the elastic leg holes.

Here is one of the tutus...

I love this swimdress! It's so sweet! Did you use a pattern?

 

[SheBear74]

I used Simplicity 3780. I left out the zipper, then left off the bias tape until the very end. I cut one long piece that runs all the way around the top, and is used as the ties. If that makes any sense. lol

 

[Miss Molly]

Very clever! It's really lovely

Thanks Christi.adell, I went and bought the shorts pattern at JoAnns today because it was on sale for $1.99. Can't beat that!!!

I wish you'd posted this picture too, what a neat scallop detail!

Here are a couple of things I've finished recently:

First is Butterick 5152, I made the short sleeved version for a summer robe. I love it!




And the other is a super simple skirt, Simplicity 2614, in a woven red fabric, super comfy, I've made a couple other versions of this too, that's how much I like it.

 

[kamikat]

Your robe is very cute!

Awesome! I hope you like it.


Velvetounge- I love that color and the scallops. Very cute.

Theswingingbee- I've been wanting to make a robe forever. That one's great!

 

[Christi.adell]

Wow love the whole outfit, and I am going to have to try and steal your hair do!!! lol Very cute!

Thank you! Hair wasn't too hard I guess. I wet set it with velcro rollers since my hair is so short. And then messed with it until it looked halfway decent.

I love this skirt! Thanks for posting your picture. That pattern is now on my wish list -- even better since it comes with a cute blouse pattern as well, which has cup sizes options.

 

[deadpandiva]

I love that robe TheSwiningBee. Where did you get that fabric?

 

[Land-O-LakesGal]

Ok not a dress or sewing but my sewing needs improvement. I made these birdbaths a few years ago I need to make more.
