Hermosa Shorts

18 juni 201918 juni 2019 Nicole

Who doesn’t need a good pair of shorts now summer is coming and vacation time is near there. I surely do! So I was very excited when Kennis Wong, my favourite pattern designer, announced the testing call for shorts. Especially when there were to chose three lengths.

Finally I can show my me made party outfit I wore on my 50th birthday party. In March I joined a workshop at Lotte Martens and made the fabric for my skirt. In the earlier post about the party outfit part 1, I discussed the design of the top. The final version of that is… […]
