I've had this idea for awhile, and I wanted to make Gabe something for the summer to wear on the patio or around the kiddie pool. I made the shorts from two brand new terry cloth towels I found super cheap at the second hand store. The pockets are leftover from my mens shirt to boys shirt refashion seen over here. The stenciling is freezer paper stenciling. Heres the short process in pictures:
I cut out my pieces using a pair of his shorts
I made my pockets and stenciled them
I sewed the pockets on first and then assembled the shorts
And done :)
Um, model much?
Now try to keep your hunky pool boy away from the girls this summer!!!
Oh so sweet boy! Nice shorts, good job!
