Fisherman's Shorts

Archie has a cute pair of knit pj pants that I love. Unfortunately they were getting too small. I decided to draw up a pattern for some summer shorts. They turned out bigger than I expected (the girls also fit into them!). Which probably means he will get 2 years wear out of them. They are made from a pair of fisherman's pants that my sister bought back from Thailand last year (yay love recycling). The pants were great for straight after my pregnancy but now I am getting some shape back they are not overly flattering. I used a front seam from the pants as a front seam for the shorts and I have to say..I love them!! Perfect for chasing bubbles in the back yard....
