I recently made Sydney a bathing suit, and that got me wanting to make Nathan one too! I set out to the thrift stores to find some cute men's board shorts to refashion to toddler size. I collected a few, and decided to try on my least favorite ones. Good plan!
You see when making shorts you need to cut the two front (and back) panels as mirror images with the right sides of the fabric, or you end up with the right side of the fabric showing on one leg and the wrong side exposed on the other (inside of on one side) Brilliant ol' me did that! Yup totally screwed that one up! Good thing it was not the favorite pair, and they were only a $3 investment at the goodwill!
It happens!
I can relate. I recently cut out pattern pieces for a skirt from a fabric with a one way pattern. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I stitched the front and back pieces together. I will be spending a weekend day ripping the seams out and starting over. At least I can use that piece for pockets or for something else, since it's a skirt for my grand daughter.
