How to sew patchwork linen shorts from scraps

DIY shorts made from linen fabric scraps

Thoughtful Creativity has a wonderful guide for sewing stylish linen shorts using fabric scraps. This project shows you how to assemble patchwork pieces into a unique garment, making it a perfect way to clear out your stash while creating something beautiful. By using a self-drafted pattern, you can ensure the fit is just right for either a pair of breezy summer shorts or cozy pajama bottoms.

The design includes a very comfy elastic waistband and the option to add fabric ties for extra detail. You will also learn how to add side and back pockets, which are always a great feature in any handmade clothing. Finishing the edges with bias tape gives the inside of these scrappy shorts a clean, professional look that ensures they are as durable as they are cute.
