I finished my shorts today!! I'm so excited. I might wear them tomorrow to celebrate. I think they turned out really great. I got the fabric (classic pink seersucker) at a thrift store months ago. I finally unfolded it and found it's a lot more fabric than I thought. There's like 5 yards there. I made a pattern from some shorts that fit me just by tracing around them. I like them.
That is my first ever fly front! I think it turned out really great, and I can't take the credit for that. I found this amazing video tutorial. Check it out
here. It really ends you with a professional looking fly, and a better understanding of why it looks good.
I got some more work done cutting out my fabrics. I think I have enough now to start sewing. I'm really excited. I think I'm going to start with the smaller ones and sew them into blocks the same size as the bigger squares. I organized my squares and sorted them into which ones I'm going to sew together. After dinner, it's time for sewing! I just wish I had an ironing board...
I also got my cats food bowl secured for the car trip! I got some 1" wide elastic and sewed it on some clips. It works really well. It holds it really sturdy. I shouldn't have to worry about it in the car at all. Now I need some more clips for the water and litter box so nothing moves!
