What kind of fabric did you use? For the Iris shorts, I used a navy blue wool crepe that has an amazing drape and a dressy feel. For the Sorbetto top I used cotton from the DS Quilts Aunt Edna series.
How did you decide to reflect your personal style in the pattern? Since I have gams over the age of 40, I added another inch to the lovely Iris shorts.
What thoughts do you have about the project? I really feel like the Iris shorts pattern was created just for me. They feature all of the details that I love in a pair of shorts. The pocket on the seam fits neatly on the hip creating a nice slimming line and giives my hands a place to hang during an awkward photo session with my husband.
Thanks, Tracey!
I love the whole outfit. The Sorbetto is such a nice pattern – you can dress it up for work or wear it casually. I love it. I love the fabric you chose for it too. The shorts are lovely. I don’t wear a lot of short but I do admire the fit and fabric of the ones you made. I would be thrilled with this outfit if I were you! Bravo!
You should give them a try! These are sooooo comfy! Thanks for your comments!
Gorgeous! I still haven’t taken the plunge with my Iris pattern, so you’ve definitely given me the inspiration to go for it. :-)
Thanks Charlotte! I am glad I have inspired you, just as so many have inspired me! Take the plunge Gal! The water’s fine!
Such a lovely summer outfit!
Thanks Lisa!
These shorts look great! With the Sorbetto even better! Fabulous look.
Thank you! You are a dear!
Great work Tracey, the outfit and you look terrific.
Love and best wishes from Lorraine and I.
