I think you should just call the pockets "coin pockets" and be done with it. I mean, isn't that what that teensy little pocket on those 5-pocket jeans is supposed to be for? <br /><br />Obviously this is an older post...I'm wondering if Michael wore this awesome outfit at all over the summer! If you pop back in, let us know how he liked it!

I just finished watching "Where the Boys Are" (what a great, classic, campy 60's movie!) and I think your shorts could have played a starring role in the movie (probably on the Jim Hutton character, Frank Gorshin and George Hamilton didn't have the right style). Like you, I love creating fabulous garments out of home dec fabrics/tablecloths; I haven't done anything lately along these lines, but I do have some fabulous tablecloths that will probably never end up on my dining table!AuntieAllynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192122099879165907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-63861640290476903132010-03-14T19:33:18.063-04:002010-03-14T19:33:18.063-04:00These are awesome!!

Unfortunately Aussies only seem to donate such cool sheets and table cloths when they're all worn out.<br /><br />I just cut 2" off the top of a shorts pattern for my daughter for exactly the same reason. I drafted shorts form the Sure-Fit kit from the 80's/90's. Still haven't finished her tights though. The stack of stuff that's cut out and ready to sew is getting pretty high :PSarahhttp://knitting-and.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-27006054479984484652010-03-14T16:43:02.936-04:002010-03-14T16:43:02.936-04:00Cool shorts.

Maybe because it's not unlike the print on a cute little kayaking outfit I bought a couple of years ago. Maybe I was longing for the 70s?
