I’ve wanted a pair of city shorts for awhile now, and seeing the latest array on Anthropologie’s website tipped the scales. I broke out my trusty Simplicity 3867 envelope and cut out the shorts from some stripey canvas I got at the thrift to approximate these.
The result?
Circus pants! They are very, very comfy (perhaps just a little bit roomier than necessary?) and were super easy to make. Thank goodness, because I had a crafty crisis yesterday that I’m still trying to rectify (hopefully I’ll figure it out, or else I’ll have to consider my prized red and white polka dot fabric a sacrifice to the fickle gods and goddesses of craft). Wish me luck!
And wait! There is something else I have to tell you- I’ve never hidden my love for Tiny Showcase, and tonight? They’ll be posting a print from Amy Ross. Her work is the perfect combination of beautiful and strange that makes you look twice. The prints always sell out over there just about instantly, so pop over as soon as you can once 7:30 eastern, 4:30 pacific hits!
