I've made many shorts for myself from the same pattern (Peekaboo Summer Lovin' Shorts). It's a nested pattern that I first printed out in 2018. As it happens, over the years I've gradually cut down the well-loved paper pattern to the next smallest size, since I've sloooowly gotten slimmer! (This is a good, intentional thing!)
These have become my standard yoga shorts, made from lovely cotton interlock knit from Birch fabrics.* Recently I noticed all my yoga shorts feeling big, so I cut down the pattern once again, and made these unicorn shorts from that same interlock knit (that I bought ages ago).
Here are the front panels with pockets constructed!
A view of the finished pocket. Yes, I know I don't need pockets during yoga class, but they're mandatory for all other summer shorts wearing! :)
*Sadly, Birch/Fabricworm seems to have stopped making ANY PRINTED KNITS WHATSOEVER, and their prices for solids have skyrocketed. I don't shop at Fabricworm anymore, because it seems all they care about are Charlie Harper prints, and while those are cool for, you know, a little while, I don't think they merit turning your entire shop into Charlie Harper Land. Do you hear me, Fabricworm?!? Seriously, they used to be my go-to for interlock knits, cool Japanese prints, and other fun fabrics, but they've cut down their old offerings to basically nothing (except Charlie Harper). What the heck? It's disappointing to say the least. Oh well, there are plenty of places on the internet to buy fabric!
I already have some french terry prints (from elsewhere) to make my next couple pairs of shorts. :)
