by Esi Hutchison The Basics patterns are a great for novice sewers and we really encourage our customers to have fun with these patterns (and all of our patterns in general of course). However, the Basics are especially non-intimidating in terms of the construction which can allow easier alterations, options for finishing, and embellishing that can make these pieces fit your style. This blog post will focus on the Basics Pants but altering them into shorts. Warmer weather is coming, so get ready and start making some summer outfits with this great pattern. I was wanting a pair of simple and comfortable shorts so I decided to show how I altered the Basics Pants in shorts for myself. Fabric Suggestions: For casual and formal looks one could use light to medium weight fabrics such as linen, wool, gabardine, twill, lightweight denim, nylon
