Making Good Use of Leftover Fabric







I needed some shorts, but I didn't want to buy new fabric. I took some leftover fabric, got out my scrubs pattern, and made two pairs of shorts and a top. The shorts were made by simply folding the pattern to the length I wanted and cutting out short rather than ankle length pants.

Deb! I'm inspired by your "necessity is the mother of invention" creativity! Way to use up some great fabrics.

I LOVE your shorts. I've been making the equivalent of mompe pants which are below the knee to hide knee surgerIES. Guess I'll try some a bit shorter. They're much cooler than regular store bought shorts.

Very nice, Deb! So fun and so cool/comfy looking.

I love your idea for making the shorts off the scrub pants pattern! I want to make some now.

Too cute... I'm so burnt out on clothing sewing at the moment but these are absolutely adorable! Such a great idea and love your fabric mix.
