Here they are my 1st home sewn pair of short that fit. Yes there was a vintage pattern pair before that dont fit eek and will need serious alterations!

Using again the lovely wool fabric from the market. I has some spare and as this year is my “use up craft stash before you buy” I knew the practice pair should be dont out of what was already in the scraps box.

Rather happy with them.

A couple of alterations from the pattern. Waistband top stitched to ensure crisp edges with bulky fabric. Left out the cuff... Again wouldnt work well with this bulky fabric.

I have two sewing machines. One much loves home sewer machine by Brother I got for my 18th birthday. Our latest machine is a big Brother industrial machine! I cant wait to make coats and winter wear with it. At the moment it is focusing on quilting projects, it gets thought thick layers easy!

Now these two machines are great but one day I would love to fill my home with antique machines. It would be so beautiful....

I really cannot recommend Deer&Doe patterns highly enough. This is the second one I have tried and the pieces fit together well and the finished dresses have always been gorgeous.

Next I need to try and sew a pair of their shorts :)
I may actually use the same fabric as I think it will make a really cute outfit with a black tshirt or polo neck!
