Harriet’s Haberdashery

Green Shorts

For these shorts, I shortened the Adeline trousers pattern from Vikisews. I found this lovely deadstock tencel crepe on the New Craft House website. After trying these on I regretted not having chosen the smaller size but I will definitely try again!

As an explorative experiment I also bound the seams with bias tape for the first time. It makes the inside of the garment look really clean but I messed up a little where the pockets meet the side seams. This leads to some unfortunate puckering.

The pleats are a lovely detail of the pattern.

Here you can see the puckering caused by the way I finished the seams where the pocket meets the side seam.
