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! :)

Happy sewing!

June 20, 2012 at 10:13 am (12 years ago)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.
