Why I love This Pick
I haven’t made this pattern yet, but I plan to ASAP! I love the idea of making a garment out of scraps. Contrast binding makes these shorts fun and relaxed. You could even use different scraps for different pieces of these shorts for a really fun garment to add to your me-made wardrobe.
