September 13, part two!

Last week I made a practice round pair of shorts for my boyfriend. I used the Andre bathing trunk pattern from BurdaStyle and some nice thick cotton that I recently bought at a thrift store. I took my time making them nice and neat with french seams and even added a label.
Well, turns out the fit isn't quite right. He has to pull them way up high to make them look alright... I don't think it helped when I laughed when he tried them on either, oops.
It's a shame because I really do like how they turned out. At least now I know how I need to change the pattern for a better fitting final pair of shorts!

I started sewing a Colette Pattern's Negroni shirt a few months ago and only just recently finished. It was rather silly that it took me so long since it was nearly complete for quite some time, except for the buttons.
This Negroni was meant to be the practice round, but I think my boyfriend will be able to wear it anyway. The one problem that I need to work on for the second round is the sleeve length since they are super duper long.
I'm hoping to convince my boyfriend to do a photo shoot so that you can all see it in action!
