It was hot in Brisbane last week, Tuesday
was 36 degree celsius, (in fahrenheit that is 98.9). And super humid, one day the
humidity was up to 85%. So pretty much all week I was covered in sweat. I was
also bitching about not having anything to wear, while Justin and Jarvis were
wandering around the house in their jocks.
One night, when I could not
sleep because of the heat, I thought of an idea. I struggle with retail shorts,
they seem to fall into two categories. One: shorts that are shorter than my
undies. Or two: Mum shorts. Yes, yes, I know I am a Mum, I am a grandmother,
but Mum shorts, well are just super daggy. Anyhow, in the heat one night I
thought of making shorts that were more 'me'.
In the early hours of the
next morning, before the heat struck, I got some fabric from my stash and whipped
up these shorts.
Item One
They are kinda like a
gathered shirt met a pair of boxers shorts. I am super happy with them, the
fabric is a lawn so super light and breezy, but the length is more appropriate
for the Nana I am.
Item Two
I love them so much I made a
second pair late one night. They fit even better, however, the fabric is a tad
on the see through side. Okay if I wear the shorts to the beach over togs, but
that is about it.
I am already sewing up a
third pair in a rayon. With each attempt I am tweaking the pattern just a bit
to get them 'just right'.
But... finally I own shorts!
Jarvis was not happy with my modelling.
I admit I really struggle on the other side of the camera, so these are his
instructed posses.
