Burda - Andre Shorts

Pattern: Burda - Andre Shorts
Size: XL
Fabric: 1M of 60" width linen (Kamdar)
Details:
  • Added in-seam pockets in white muslin
  • Amended pattern so that the sides are cut straight 
  • I applied the elastic differently where I sew the waist band while the elastic is in the casing.  I find this is easier than pushing the elastic through after the waistband casing is sewn
  • Love working with linen
