Creative Sunday | Making a little girl's short from leftover fabric
Happy Sunday dear Hivers, indeed it is a happy Sunday do me, and I hope it's the same for you as well.
It's another interesting creative Sunday edition on the Hive Learners community, and I'll be sharing with you all, the shorts I made out of leftover fabrics, being a designer, I get to have lots of leftover fabric that could create a cluttered mess if I don't trash them or rather make something useful out of them, it is always a full-time commitment from me, as I hate having my room or workspace cluttered, and to make it worst I usually don't have the mind to throw away beautiful leftover fabrics, so rather than discarding them, as long as it can make even a baby's outfit, trust me to put such fabric to use and in turn gift the outfit to my neighbor or friend.
Today, I'll be making use of this beautifully patterned Kente fabric, I made a blouse out of the main material, thinking of what best to put this leftover fabric to use, and after measuring it out, a short is the best idea that could fit a 1-3 years old child.

Making process
- I started by drafting the front pattern
- Next, using the front pattern, I drafted the back pattern, which is about 1.5 inches bigger than the front.
- Then, I sewed the front and back patterns separately by the crotch area.

Continuing, I joined both front and back by the sides an the inseam area.
Finally, I hemmed the base of the shorts and folded the waist area where I could either pass an elastic or rope.
Here is the short's final look, which I would be gifting to my neighbor's 2-year-old daughter, I'm happy to get one leftover fabric piece out, till next time, stay awesome!
Thank you for reading.❤❤

Your choice of fabric is nice as well as your design, well done friend.

I like the fabric. It's pretty.
I'm looking to learn to sew. Hopefully, soon, I join you all to showcase my sewing skills😁😅
Ha that would be great, looking forward to your DIY post
The fabric looks to catchy for real
I tried learning how to sew one time, but I ended up running away because of the whole standing up thing....lol 😂.
This is a really nice job you have here
Eeya you should have given it a little more patience, it becomes fun with time.
Thank you 😊
