I’ve got a special surprise for you! My cousin and I got together today for photos of the new pattern and I just couldn’t wait any longer to show you what I’ve been working on!
Introducing pattern #1006- The “Rita” Shorts. These pleated shorts are suitable for looks from the late 1930s through the mid 1940s, and will include three options- short waistband, tall waistband, and tall waistband with suspenders (the last of which is shown here). This is shown with a top from pattern #1002- Smooth Sailing.
I hope you love them! I’m estimating that they should be ready in about two weeks! 
Those pleats are very cute! I’m sure this will be an enormously popular pattern.
Happy sewing!

Pleated shorts? Those might be some that even I could pull off! Very cute!
Oh, so cute. I remember these from the 50s. These skorts were so fun. Beautiful. Thanks for the pattern.
These are adorable!!
Wow, love them!
Oh, wow! They are fab. Just what I have been looking for…now all I need is summer to make an appearance.
Soooooo cute! Love them
Oh Wow! These look awesome! Definitely getting this!
Oh, my gosh!!!!! They are spectacular! I want a pair!!!!!!!!!!
Want so much!
It is such a quirky but classic pattern. I wish you the best. If I was a better pleat sewer I would buy it myself!
LOVE!!! Oh, I will definitely need to order that pattern!
So cute! And so very aptly named. I can just picture Rita Hayworth wearing these shorts to dance a number with Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly.
What a lovely pattern! We had skorts when I was growing up, too, but they weren’t this cute! I know they’ll be successful!
Those are so sweet Lauren, love them!
