It is still hot and my shorts needed a refresh, so I brought out my Georgia Portfolio Don Shorts pattern and pulled out a linen blend from Joann Fabrics
I made the more basic version of this pattern to go with my royal blue vest and this time I wanted to make the version with the big pockets
The construction of the pockets is very interesting and the Don Shorts go together quickly. I shortened the rise on my royal blue pair but I did not on this pair. After one wearing, I took these shorts to my sewing room and redid the elastic and the rise. I took off 1/2 inch from the rise and then used 1-1/2 inch elastic, first time was maybe 1". This was a big improvement and I love how the shorts look and feel.
These pictures are from the before elastic. Fabric is a nice line blend from Joann fabrics
I'm thoroughly enjoying this post, which is both informative and well-crafted.
