Watching you handle that sewing machine brought me back to watching my Mom who passed away 1yr ago. She was a BOSS designer and seamstress, An FIT graduate. She sewed without any patterns. She'd buy the shoes then find the exact color fabric to match, then design her outfit! You did that with such ease like she did. Beautiful!

Professional seamstress here. 🙋🏻‍♀️ This is a such cute idea, but there’s definitely a few things to note before the novice sewist attempts this. You should always use a stretch stitch on clothing like this if you’re using a home sewing machine. A stretch stitch is going to be your zigzag or lightning bolt. If you don’t use one of these, you risk your seams popping when putting on/taking off the shorts. Another thing to note is she used leggings as her template. Leggings by nature have at least 5% Lycra in them, and are able to stretch by 50% to be able to fit like a second skin. Sweatshirt fleece (what the shirt is made from) will not have that same amount of stretch, so you need to account for that or there’s a big chance your shorts aren’t going to fit over your booty lol. Especially if you’ve got some sexy curves. She also cut all pieces the same size for the shorts, but the booty is naturally curvier than your front side, and traditionally when making shorts/pants, the back panel pieces should be slightly larger. If you’ve got a cute and tiny heiny, this may not be an issue for you. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to try this to download a free shorts/pants pdf pattern and use that, along with measuring yourself before making the shorts just to be on the safe side. You don’t want to waste a good shirt! 😉

You go girl!

Thanks so much for posting this. I’m literally in the middle of making it now. I even thought to myself while watching, how am I going to make this with a little kid (my 22 month old) running around and THEN YOUR BABY WAS STANDING THERE ahahaha so I took it as a sign. Thanks again mama 🙏🏼

I love how she makes this look so easy but I know if I tried I’d be mad at myself for destroying a perfectly good sweater 😫😫
