Pomona Pants, shorts version.

In Blog, DIY by ShannonLeave a Comment

I haven’t really been a shorts person in my adult life. Not sure why, but I will say that it’s hard sometimes, when you have a bit more junk in your trunk, to find cute shorts that fit well. I still (and will likely always) have that riding-up-in-the-center situation, but I think that has more to do with my thighs wanting to spend time together than anything else. BUT! I have made oodles of shorts with the Pomona pattern, and I am digging the whole thing with two shovels. It’s a great use for rad quilting cotton, which I have a decent little stash of. So, without further ado, here are my so-far-completed Pomona Shorts:

This fabric is so great! I initially got it with the thought of making a Wiksten Boxy Jacket, but I don’t really wear the ones I’ve already made, so I wasn’t feeling super motivated to use this for that. But as shorts? YES! It’s a canvas fabric from Bolt.

This is the first pair I made; in Essex yarn-dyed. I’m wearing them right now, matter of fact.

These are the best! Rollerskate shorts – yeehaw!! The fabric is quilting cotton.

And these, also in quilting cotton, are the ones I made for both LJ and myself, so we are twinning!!

Hoping the desire to sew hits me this weekend! If so, I’ll share more pieces with you next week. I have a bazillion things I want to make, but I’m the kind of person who loves to keep making one thing over and over, so we’ll see what direction I go on this…
