My dotty shorts. Really easy to make and turned out to look and feel great. And one of the first things I’ve made in a while that hasn’t required lining… hurrah!
I missed off the belt as it seemed confusing and an unnecessary effort, and I think they look fine without. I just wish there was some summer here so that they could actually be worn in the sunshine!
Cotton and flowery buttons.

Great looking Ruby’s! The belt isn’t really necessary and I agree about them feeling great (my pair of Ruby’s obviously, I was thinking that the pattern is comfortable).
