After a thorough cleaning out of both my wardrobe and of my fabric stash I found myself with a dearth of shorts with a hot summer coming up and some bits of denim that were just too short to make a proper pair of jeans. Time to make some denim shorts! In addition with all the socks I've been making lately, I found myself missing embroidery, so I took the opportunity to do some sashiko on the back pockets. Short pattern is actually a shortened version of the Morden workpants(threadtheory) with some details lifted from the Azuki workpants ( wafflepatterns). The sashiko pattern is the hishi matsukawabishi motif, which is supposed to represent pine bark and symbolises health and longevity. Hopefully they will improve the durability of my brand new shorts!
