DIY Baby Shorts: The Addie Spring Shorts

Hi there!  Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to sign up to follow me on bloglovin' to ensure you don't miss anything.

I'm sewing along with Project Run & Play again this week!


This week is the Spring Break Challenge and the task was to create a look for your child to wear to your favorite vacation spot.

When I think of vacation, the first thing that pops into mind is the beach!  I've only been to a real beach (like the kind with an ocean) one time in my life.  I guess that's what happens when you grow up in Kansas.

Miss Rue has never been to the beach, but we've got a vacation planned to Florida in July for my sister's wedding!  Woohoo!

I have to admit, I almost didn't enter my look into the sew along for this week because I didn't make the entire outfit, I only made the shorts.  I had grand plans to make the shirt to go along with the shorts, but alas, life got in the way and I didn't have time.

So, let's talk about the shorts.

I used the Addie Spring Shorts pattern by My Little Plumcake.  This is a great pattern and I highly recommend it!

This is actually the second pair I've made for Miss Rue.  I wrote about her other pair here.

The shorts feature real pockets and front pleats which I love.

I used coordinating thread for the top-stitching for some added interest.

And now... it's time for photo overload.  Hope you enjoy!
