Sewing: Ukulele Shorts and Raglan T-Shirt


When I spotted this Kokka Ukulele linen fabric I knew I had to make something with it for my ukulele girl. Summer shorts seemed like just the thing. Along with a simple t-shirt.


I used the MADE Kid's Shorts pattern in the boy's longer length and added the pockets with lots of top stitching. For the shirt I used the Oliver + S Field Trip Raglan T-shirt pattern and shortened the sleeves. This is a fun look Audrey and I both agree on!


We haven't really agreed on a practicing schedule however. And she tells me she's leaning more towards the electric guitar. We'll see.... One instrument at a time, right?

      You could try one front panel and one back panel of the ukulele fabric, and then use some other fabric to compliment/contrast it. :)

    I don't think I've seen pictures of Audry looking so animated ... Ever? I think you might be onto a winner here! I might have to have a go at those patterns. Thanks for drawing my attention to them.
