VIDEO: Sew the Loretta Shorts (Patreon)

Perfect for the boardwalk or your own backyard paradise, the Loretta shorts feature fabulous pockets and an iconic (and comfortable!) ‘50s silhouette. This standalone pattern looks perfect with all your vintage-inspired tops (Hepburn anyone?).

But wait! This is also an expansion pattern. These shorts are part of the Charm Patterns “L Series,” which means they mix and match with the Lamour Dress and Liz Dress bodices to make your vintage playsuit fantasies a reality. They also coordinate with the Stanwyck Skirt bib so you can make little shorts overalls!

In this video, I hold your hand through the most challenging parts of the construction process. Make sure to check out my separate post for the instructions file and the pattern (available to the $7 tier and above).

Have fun sewing these and don't forget to use the hashtag #lorettashorts when sharing your photos.

xoxo,

Gertie
