Emily and I just finished sewing up some new Iris shorts by Colette--they were so quick to make!
To be honest, I was a little nervous because this was the first time I have sewn a garment with legs, but I should have known that Colette would walk me through it and make it so easy!
I used a hemp/organic cotton ticking from Pickering and got a little crazy with the pockets, using a super adorbz little sewing notions print from Anna Griffin. I cut my Iris out with horizontal stripes, taking care to line up the stripes when I cut the pieces and sewed the seams. I love the way they turned out!
Emily's Iris shorts turned out fantastic! She used a hemp denim from Pickering and left out the pockets, so she could sew flat felled seams on the front. So cute!
Summertime, we're ready!
well, those shorts are darling; and with those stomachs and butts, they model very well too!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I never wear shorts but these are starting to tempt me :)
ReplyDeleteadorable! Nice work ladies, your rumps look spectacular!
ReplyDeletegreat fabric choices for your Iris shorts :-) a denim pair are now on my must sew list!
ReplyDeleteI love your shorts! Good job matching up those stripes! I also like the idea of leaving out the pockets. I've never done that kind of seam finish though. I'll have to learn! Do you know a good online tutorial?
ReplyDeleteCheck out my iris shorts on my blog!
