With the Liberty leftovers from Mira’s First Day of Kindergarten Dress, I made these Puppet Show Shorts from an Oliver + S pattern. These shorts are right on trend for this summer, and I have seen similar styles sold all over my neighborhood. Both Crew Cuts and Capucine both have seriously cute versions.
Ours, in a hot pink and white floral, finally got to come out of the wardrobe this week when the temperatures climbed up to acceptable short weather. Mira reports that they are soft and comfy. Since they are both comfortable and cute, there are a couple more pairs in the works. I am thinking about doing one pair in linen and one in some sort of stripe and/or polka dot.
What do you think? What trends have been inspiring you this season?

These are adorable – I love the pockets. I love tees with ribbon flowers on them. I just saw a cute one at H&M.

I just finished a pair in linen last night. I love these shorts and can’t get enough of them…I’ve made four pairs this spring! They look so great in this floral print.
