Nine pairs of shorts, and they’re all done! These may be a bit . . . um . . . boring? We tend towards the utilitarian when it comes to bottoms around here. We almost always grab a tee and jean shorts when dressing the little ones (and ourselves, for that matter), so it just made sense to stick with denim for the majority of these.
I wrapped up Jamie’s shorts’ list with four pairs of Inside or Out Pocket Shorts, three denim, one khaki, all with outside main pockets and cargo pockets on the sides. I added a Night Owl’s Menagerie tag to each pair for a little splash of fun.
Charlie got three pairs of denim IOP Shorts, one with outside main pockets and two with inside pockets. His have tags from my favorite online sewing board. I also added two pairs of unhemmed french terry AJ Bottoms Shorts to finish up Charlie’s list. (Those are exactly the same as the ones I did for Jamie during the Kids Clothing Week Challenge.)
Love the back pockets on these!
Shorts are finished, tops are done, rompers all checked off and undies are sewn. Only one pair of pjs is left on each list.
Great job on the shorts! They look so professional! Did you use a double needle on the denim hems or two rows of topstitching? I enjoy your boy pictures. My two boys are all grown up now and one has a boy of his own. I miss having those little people around and sewing for them, but I am starting to sew again for a whole new generation.
