Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made these from one of my father’s old shirts! I am going to make a top to go but not a Jane, I don’t really like the top! But this is the first time I printed out a pattern from the internet and it was really fun!
Sorry about the dirt on the pics, I really need to clean my mirror! :P

Those are because I cut the pieces from an old shirt and the seamline is the seam connecting the sleeve to the rest of the shirt! I didn’t do it on purpose!

I just looked at the pattern and didn’t see the seam lines that I see in the crotch of your shorts. Can you tell me how you did that?

Looks comfy! I’ve been thinking about sewing some summer PJ pants (I live in australia – 3 days of summer down, many, many more to come…yuk). Using the shirt is a good idea (I love recycled things) and the check material I could see how the seams go… thanks.
