When I was in the middle of creating Chloe’s Spring Collection, we started planning a trip to Florida. The result was some Summer clothing sprinkled into the mix, which leads to this week devoted to the shorts/skirts created. I give you Old School Shorts.
I started thinking of those old jogging shorts that you used to see men running around in, and kind of snickered at to tell you the truth (hey, I was like 10 – ok?!!). How cute would they be on a little girl? How light, and breezy, and well – down right easy the more I thought about it.
I couldn’t be happier with the end result…
Just the thought of how many different color combinations I could sew these in makes me giddy!

You won’t be disappointed, they really are easy! Especially if you already have the bias tape.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do, and Happy Sewing!
