Liberty Minsihorts

I ended up with 35 cm left of gorgeous Liberty fabric after making my short/sleeved dress and I had this idea of making some shorts for home wear, which is the most useful and sensitive department to be making clothes for at present, if making clothes is a must, as it is for me...

I used an old rubbed-off pattern of mine, but gave some more ease at the sides and center seams, being these woven instead of jersey.

At the end, I stitched it even wider at the waist than it is here, at least 1.5cm more at each side (+6cm total).

I self enclosed all seams, which I always do with Liberty fabric, and enjoyed it so much as usual.

The result is an easy going modest piece of clothing I cannot take off, haha! I am wearing them now, and I wear them a lot around the house and also when I go on small errand, like shopping, or the public pool. 

I am fantasizing with long Liberty pants with a ribbed top piece... I am addicted to this fabric!

White Cotton Swiss Dot Long Sleeved Beach Dress

I love long showy titles like this one, yes!
Even when the dress is simple and easy like this. 


The fabric is from Goldhawk road in London, I bought it 3 or 4 years ago and it has been patiently waiting for the perfect pattern till now. Being it white and sheer, it could only end up as a long sleeved beach dress, for those chilly nights having dinner in a terrace in Costa Brava, my favorite spot in summer, at least for a week. 
The pattern is from BurdaStyle magazine. It is cut on the bias. 

  Truing the pattern on the dress form.
