I made these shorts like a year ago. Or more than that. Or less? When you've lived in a place with barely-seasons, it's hard to remember when anything happened.
Either way they've been long overdue for a post. These are the Grainline Studio Maritime Shorts, and oh how I love them!
If you're intimidated by making something in the Realm of Pants, I'm here to say, don't be! This pattern was really easy to follow, and Jen has a full photo tutorial posted on her website that is amazing. I definitely referenced it during the fly zipper portion.
I scored the star printed denim for free at a fabric swap. Yes, for free! A gift from the sewing gods. Or perhaps the denim shorts gods.
Since making these I've made another pair. Spoiler alert: they will probably appear in a future post!
Awesome fabric, and the fit is so perfect!! Totally need to remember these next spring :)
ReplyDeletethanks! they are definitely a springtime must.
DeleteOh, they look so good! Don't you just love it when the Fabric Gods/Denim Shorts Gods share the fabric love? Looking forward to seeing the 2nd pair. :)
ReplyDeleteYES! YES I DO! :]
DeleteWow! These are awesome! The fit is outstandingly perfect! I've been researching shorts patterns lately and this one is a top contender. They may be a wee bit short for my taste (no pun intended!), so I was wondering: could these be lenghened easily?
ReplyDeletesure! it wouldn't be tricky at all. the bottom edge of the pattern pieces are straight lines so it's just a matter of slapping a ruler down. :]
DeleteYay!! Ooh, I'll be purchasing this pattern ASAP! Can't wait to see your second version!
DeleteThe fit on these is totally perfect! I love the star print. Jen is famous for her great tutorials so this pattern is top of my list for potential shorts patterns.
ReplyDeletethanks! yes her tutorials rule.
DeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeletethanks!!
DeleteCute print and the fit is great. Can't wait to see the next pair!
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteThese look great! They fit you so perfectly, too!
ReplyDeletethank you! :D
DeleteI love the fabric! Awesome shorts!
ReplyDeletethe fabric totally makes em!
DeleteI sort of hate shorts, but yours look so great I'm half tempted to make some! Love them.
ReplyDeleteI know this is an older post, but, what size button did you use??? These are my FAVORITE remake of the Maritime Shorts, and I'm hoping to try out the pattern soon! Love the stars!
