Shorts Story

13 08 2011

I’m participating in a shorts swap on CNA at the moment. I can’t show off the ones I made yet, but I’ve also made another couple of pairs this week that I can share now.

I made these for my Tom and Jerry loving 5yo son. I bought the fabric a while ago and for once I’ve made something before the love has faded. I still have plenty of fire engine fabric from my older son’s “Nee-Nah” obsession of a few years back.

He’s delighted with them and has plans to wear them with his T&J pants from a previous swap, which are still much-loved and holding up well with frequent washing. Incidentally the Bat pants from that swap are number one son’s favourites and the drawstring bags were filled with toys for the trip to Grandma’s last week.

C is sad that he doesn’t have a T&J T-shirt to wear with his new shorts, but he does have a long-sleeved T&J shirt so I am now under orders to make some T&J trousers as well. I’m a victim of my own success. ;-)

While I was on a roll with the shorts sewing I also made these pink spotty ones for the shop which have sold already.

The shop is closed for our holiday now. There’s not much stock there anyway because I’ve been busy sewing custom orders, but hopefully I can rectify that when I re-open at the end of the month. Maybe this year will be the one where I’m actually prepared for BBM in November, but I wouldn’t count on it! ;-)
