Black with a Kick!

Let me see those legs! Tis the season for sunshine and skin. I decided to create the high-waist shorts view of McCall’s pattern 7726. There are a couple of different ways to construct the pleating with this pattern so be sure to read the instructions and pattern pieces. I got a little confused with the shorts view (it happens).

I choose this black striped poly-blend obviously because I have a stripe obsession. The texture of this fabric is smooth and semi heavy weight. The fly on this pattern gives the shorts a very clean look and feel. On the inside of my shorts, I added binding to the pocket and waistband seams. You can choose to serge but I wanted this make just as extra on the inside.

I would definitely recommend this pattern and I will make it again. Next time I will make the pleats loose at the waist. I consider this pattern moderate (especially if you’re new to installing a fly and pleating).
