Lucas's Shorts - Fabulous!

Here are the final pics - they turned out pretty well. (Guess he inherited my penchant for making weird faces...pity.)


I feel sure he inherited his fashion sense from his dad - I would never mix tie-dye and psychedelic floral! And he did pick this fabric out himself, as you'll recall. I'd never inflict this on a boy otherwise.


The fly facing gave me fits and I winged it with a hook and eye closure. There's no room for a regular button the way the pattern has you put it together.


But I like the shorts so much I may try and draft a waistband for the next pair.


Now to a bathing suit for moi. (Gasp! Be afraid...be very afraid!) Yes, I have joined the swimsuit sew-along at PR and have fabric being delivered today - YIPPEE! I'll show you the pattern and fabric tomorrow maybe. I may have to start exercising again to tone things up before the photos start getting snapped (yeah, you WISH).

His shorts look awesome, and he is clearly happy with them (the real test!). I can't wait to see you delve into swimwear! I haven't gone there yet.

The shorts look great! The first picture is too funny because on my little netbook, it looks like he has a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

You're right - he does look like a little Pappy!
