Hello Internet Friends!
In keeping with the sunny weather we’ve been having I have a two more summer makes to share with you! My linen Hanna Tank by Pattern Scout and another pair of Winslow Culottes by Helen’s Closet. The Winslows are one of my tried and true patterns, this is the second or third pair of shorts I’ve made from this pattern. For this iteration I used a bright yellow viscose linen noil from Blackbird fabrics. As with my previous pink pair, I opted for the elastic backed waistband, I meant to try out the slanted pocket hack with this pair but forgot when I cut the fabric (which I actually did way back in March as I had intended to finish this pair in time for my trip to Bali but then never got to sewing it until now). All of the sizing and everything has remained the same since my last pair which you can check out in this post here. I used my brand new set of wide rolled hem feet to quickly hem up this pair of culottes which meant that I was able to finish sewing the whole pair in one short afternoon! This is why I love having patterns pre-cut for me to sew, when the motivation/need to sew strikes I can just have at it!
