LeTarte Crochet Shorts
I do have a nice assortment of various fabrics, including this light blue cotton sweater knit.
I made my own pattern for the shorts, but a basic pj pattern would have what you need to do this. Te only issue with using a sweater knit fabric, it comes unraveled pretty easily.
To add some detail, the waistband is elastic inside the shorts, and satin ribbon on the ends.
I know they aren't as girly as the crochet version, but sometimes you have to compromise and work with what you have at your disposal.
I'll have to look up the link, but I saw a short tutorial that mentioned sewing the pattern (or at least the outline of the pieces) before cutting the knit fabric. Hope that helps in the future :]
ReplyDeleteI've done that before too, which sort of worked. Sometimes it's just hard to sew on knitted fabric, that was a little more of the problem. This project is proof that the serger needs to be fixed.
