Once upon a time there was a girl called Gingerilocks. She went for a trip through her craft room. Pretty soon she came upon a box of patterns. Gingerilocks was feeling creative so she dove right in. She looked at the patterns for shirts.
“This shirt is too hot!” she exclaimed.
So, she looked at patterns for dresses.
“This pattern is too cold,” she said
So, she looked at patterns for shorts.
“Ahhh, this pattern is just right,” she said happily and she set it aside.
After sh
e’d found the pattern she decided she needed fabric. So, she walked into the closet where she found the fabric stash.. Gingerilocks pulled out the first fabric .
“This fabric is too perfect” she exclaimed.
So she pulled out a second fabric.
“This fabric is perfect, too!” she whined.
So she tried the last and smallest piece of fabric.
“Ahhh, this fabric is just right,” she sighed.
Gingerilocks was very inspired by this time, so she went straight to work.
I hope you have enjoyed my retelling of Goldilocks. A few quick stats about the shorts. I made all of these at the end of May. I used the exact same pattern for all 3 pairs because I love this pattern and it can be used to create so many different looks. The pattern is OOP Simplicity 3690. All the fabrics used came from my stash.

[…] the top and the shorts are me made pieces from ages ago. The top is possibly from 2009 and the shorts are from 2012. The shorts were way too big in 2012 and not so much anymore, so that kind of […]
