Kwik Sew Shorts during call!

Blogging is different on my laptop but I'm trying to start up again and will go back and catch up as I have time so I can relive family events. This is my second week of call because I took so much vacation over the summer, but, amazingly, I had time to scratch the itch of sewing. I was going through drawers of fabric and I find that always sparks the mojo, so I looked for something quick and sure, and it was the KS 3614 shorts pattern that came to mind, since those still fit me 13 years later! These go well with my precious Fluevog shoes I bought in Montreal - yet another post to come!

The main draw of this pattern is the curved waistband that fits amazingly well. The only drawback is that the pockets reportedly gape so I used some from another pattern and just slapped them on. There are optional belt loops but I probably won't tuck too much.

Dean declared them fancy but they're also good with T-shirts - very versatile! I think this fabric came from Robbie at a GCGSW swap, but I'm not sure. I have about 4 or 5 yards of it!

And this is Dexter, our rescue Catahoula Leopard/Lab mix. Sweet Jakey left us the week before Christmas of 2020, so that's another terribly sad post for later. Maybe that'll be one big Covid post.
