Short Progress

With the help of Sara from The Sewing Studio NYC, I am very close to a pair of shorts (challenge no. 28). Shorts! I've almost made shorts! They have pockets and a place for each leg and a crotch and everything! Here is photographic proof of my sewing progress:

A work station at the Sewing Studio.

Me, doing very important/difficult sewing-relating things.

Two panels that will eventually have the honor of covering my butt.

And...shorts! Almost.

A Little Help

Going from sewing curtains and throws (which require nothing more than sewing the ends so they're not ragged edges) to making a pair of tailored shorts somehow, in my tiny human brain, seemed a hundred percent possible. Then I realized that I am still a complete amateur and raised an angry fist in the air at my inability to instantly be awesome at something.

I am enlisting the help of The Sewing Studio in NYC (www.lovesewing.com) via a private lesson. Details to come, but I feel this is the best way to make my outfit vision a reality (challenge no. 28).
