Day 3 - Shorts

Woof! The week's not even half over and I'm already a bit tired....
I was super excited to try making shorts again though. As you can see, I did finally manage to get them shorts-length. I kid you not, the inseam is 1" long on these babies.
All three of these are made from Rae's Big Butt Baby Pants pattern.
I ordered this elephant fabric just after 5 was born I think, and have been saving it for just the right project. This was definitely it- as soon as they were finished, 5 started making elephant noises and wore the shorts as a hat for half the morning.

This was my attempt at being like those tasteful and refined ladies who like muted palettes, only sew with linen, and do things like handstitching. I didn't do any handstitching. The butt panel was handprinted in South Africa though. It's a precious scrap from my Skinny Laminx scrap pack. A perfect usage if I do say so myself.

It's funny, I didn't even realize until I'd sewn all three pairs that each of them featured animals of some kind. Which couldn't be more perfect, really, for Mr. Animal-Obsessed.

These might be my favorite. I love love love the birds and so does 5- he carried around a scrap of this fabric all day yesterday, talking to the birds. Plus, I finally cut into my stash of Lotta Jansdotter's Echo fabric- yay! The pocket was kind of a last minute add-on. After cutting out the butt panel, I had a pretty big scrap that I knew would get lost in the fabric abyss so it got turned into a bigger-than-I-imagined pocket.

Now we just need some warm weather!

Tomorrow- Sun Hat!
