This came into me feed and at first I thought no way, but as I watched you assemble the shorts I knew you were onto something. You figured out a clever way to make flattering chunky shorts. I know it's fall here, too cold for shorts, but I have some snuggly fleece I never finished with, so I'm going to see if I have enough for shorts and a top for loungewear!

I hope so too! I’m sure once it all opens up we’ll cross paths at some point as I’m just along the border zone too. Can definitely relate to the pain of not being able to easily access the things we normally could 😭 so over the divide it’s causing. Definitely come up and say hey if you ever do see me around ☺️

@zoeandrikidis4858 2 жыл бұрын

This is so amazing!!! I picked up a towel set today to make one! One q - when you join the collar and use the bias binding to cover the seam and help keep the collar in place, are you sewing it with the thread that matches the towel colour as the understitch will come through onto the back of the shirt? I suppose the folded down collar will hide most of it, right? Thank youuuuuu

@flower_of_love 2 жыл бұрын

Hiii ! So glad I found your video as I bought some vintage towels with the idea of making a two set like you. How much bias tape did you end up using ? Thank you so muchhh

Hi! What kind of towels are these? I know vintage but are they pure cotton? They just look more fluffy/teddy bear ish so I wonder what they are?

@TheEssentialsClub 2 жыл бұрын

They're from a relative's throw out pile so not sure where they got it from. But it's just a regular bath towel and on the tag it says Egyption cotton so maybe that's why they're extra fluffy.
