Nope, you're not going to see me in a polka dot bikini, but you might just catch me in my newly refashioned beach shorts! I polka dotted them with the tangerine fabric of my old maternity top, which I had used for my snowflake dress, and added a little sparkle and lace to the pockets. Don't you just love this colour? I just can't seem to get enough out of it.

| Get all your sewing materials together! |
 |
| My polka dots were the size of googly eyes which I traced and cut. I wish I had a puncher but I didn't want to waste my money on one. |
 |
| Spacing the dots about 2 inches apart. I marked the shorts with chalk every 1 inch and then pasted the dots on every alternate mark - the dots will form diamonds rather than a boring square ! |
Add sparkle to the pockets and we're ready to go!
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
Did you sew the orange circles on one by one?? The shorts look really cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI made a pair of shorts too, but they're not as cute as yours :p
Hi Nueyer, thanks for your sweet comment. I actually glued them on with fabric glue. I think I would be crazy if I had sewn them on!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your shorts - it has a retro feel to it.
Cute lace on the pockets! Thanks for sharing @ Submarine Sunday!
