I’ve been drafting a pattern for a pair of fitted shorts. This time I’m using a commercial pattern and trying instructions from Pattern Fitting With Confidence by Nancy Zieman.
Dressmaking fabrics are starting to become an addiction, which is ok as long as they do, eventually, become clothes!
I couldn’t resist his sateen, which is destined to become a skirt.
The top fabric is a linen blend which I’ve used before in a differnet colour, it’s got a nice stretch to it, I think I’ll make shorts from this. The bottom fabric is a black denim – lots of possibilities here.
This cotton print came from the christmas fabrics table at spotlight. I really like red 🙂
fitted short hey - I look really ban in shorts. My summer uniform is flowing dresses with knee length tights so that my bum doesn't show. It a beaut day today so Im going to wear my uniform out to the garden before the rain comes back tomorrow

Ha! I am sitting here wearing a pair of capris made from that top cotton linen spandex blend. In the other colour of course but I've made 2 shirts fromt he colour you have here. Great fabric choices :-) Good luck with the drafting too!
