I have been in the cutting out fabric mood. I decided that during my upcoming 3-day weekend, I would sew two pieces of garments that I can wear together (top and bottom). The floral and butterfly print fabric will be made into Butterick 5216 – the gathered top without the front ties. The pale sea green fabric will be made into another pair of walking shorts, KS 2840. This might get me in the mood to do a future SWAP on PR.I thought it would take me awhile to get used to wearing the longer shorts. You know what? I love them! They are really comfortable to wear. I think they look very stylish and hip for my 40-something age. After this 3rd pair of shorts, I plan on tracing out a pair of capris.
I am looking forward to a nice long weekend and practicing my stash reduction technique.

What beautiful fabric! Happy sewing this weekend!
Have a happy sewing weekend, Susan! Looking forward to seeing those shorts :) .
I just started wearing long shorts to work (hey, it's south Florida and it's hot!) and I love them! They look really cute with flats or with espadrilles.
