Vintage 1940s Shorts!

I decided to use my denim from Fabricland's New Year's Sale to make a pair of 1940s Pin-up girl inspired shorts.

I used BurdaEasy 8488 pants pattern, but cut the fabric at shorten/lengthen line. The pattern was quite easy, and it took about 6 hours to complete the project from cutting to final ironing. I had planned to raise the waistline on the pattern, but because I am so short I didn't need to. The only problem I found was the thickness of the denim for the waist and front panel. The shorts turned out well, and I think I will be able to get great use out of them this summer!
