So I went thrifting last week and I always find myself face to face with loads of nice quality but unflattering golf shorts. I've been cooking up ideas for ages on how to improve them and I think I've just about nailed the scalloped hem technique :) I learned the hard way that the curves must be stitched in a curvy fashion (no points at the top of the curve like I drew out in my pattern). Fortunately, that was easily remedied with a seam picker. I happen to love high waisted shorts and the peachy color of these was just singing to me from the Salvation Army racks. What do you think?
^This is the part where I should have made the line curvier, rather than making points at the top of each curve.
Ready to stitch.
Finished product!
I just need to finish the inside edges to keep them securely in place and they'll be up for sale in my Etsy shop which you can check out
here. There's not much up just yet, but it'll be a bounty of vintage finds by the end of the week :)
