I made Siena a new pair of shorts! What the?! She has been hounding me to go shopping for new shorts for ages but I kept telling her, that I would make some but I was just really nervous about it - Siena changes her preferences about everything almost daily, so what might have been acceptable last week would not have been ok today!
I am so pleased she agreed to this beautiful cotton striped canvas, you just can't beat stripes, always fashionable! This fabric was used as a big cover for our old lounge and bit by big I have been using it up for different projects.
Look at that fly! I am so proud of that fly, I keep opening and closing it just to see it work! There is nothing more important when sewing up a pattern than clear, concise directions and good diagrams and this pattern had both - I have also made the skirt (view A) for Siena and that too worked out beautifully!

Those look great. The stripey fabric is so cute, and the fly is divine!!
Oh. My. Word. You're a sewing genius!
Those shorts look so cute. And the fabric looks familiar. I often wear a cute bag over my shoulder that looks similar ;)
Most impressed with the zippering. Nice work Soph!
So impressed!
Very clever indeed - they look way to advanced for the likes of me.
Hi Sophie - Great Shorts!
Unrelated: I came stumbled across this site and thought you might be interested: http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/2009/02/you-capture.html
It's called 'You capture' and is run by 'I should be folding laundry'. The lady who runs it sets a weekly photo challenge. It sounds like the sort of thing you were thinking of doing.
Awesome shorts! Love the fabric and great zipper work.
