Over on The Monthly Stitch (lovely online sewing community), June is Indie Pattern Month 2015. Each week has a particular focus and last week was “New to Me”, where the challenge was to sew something from an independent pattern designer you’ve never used before.
I went with Katy & Laney’s fabulous tap shorts, sewn up in recently-purchased waxprint cotton, with gold pleather piping. Inspired by the 2-piece playsuits I’ve seen popping up all over the inter web, I paired the shorts with a cropped shell top in the same fabric.

I’ve always wondered about these tap shorts. Something about the design lines throws me off. Yours looks like it turned out great tho!
Thanks! They were definitely outside my comfort zone but I think they’re actually super flattering once you get the fit right! 🙂
