Today I finished my final project for the Colette
Spring/Summer Challenge! Originally I planned to make a Colette Beignet skirt
with a beautiful teal wool. Then it got really hot and summery outside and I
decided to make my first pair of Colette Iris shorts!
The shorts are sewing themed. I bought the fabric at my
favorite fabric store, Home Ec. in Iowa City. I decided to add the wide ric-rac
at the waistband, as part of my ode to sewing :D

| I positioned the ric-rac and basted it on, before sewing the waistband to
the shorts

I wore the shorts on a hike at the Mines of Spain park in
Dubuque. What a beautiful backdrop for a beautiful pair of shorts!

Next on my sewing table
This week I bought the Violet shirt pattern from Colette
patterns. I want to make a shirt to match my Sew Shorts! I'm thinking white with a black collar.

Thanks!
DeleteLove those shorts! I just made a dress out the same fabric, except it's in yellow. Might have to make a pair of shorts like you---those are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the yellow fabric, that would make such a cute dress. Now I want to make one!
