Pattern Spotlight: Shorts and Trousers
With the holidays coming up we’re thinking of summery me-made outfits! Something that is always good to have is a nice pair of trousers and a good pair of shorts. Sewing these are not as hard as you might think, just keep an eye out for beginner friendly patterns and for example; something with an elasticated waist would be easy to fit. We’ve gathered some of our favourite trouser and shorts patterns so you can get inspired to sew yourself some me-made bottoms this summer!
