The pattern I used is Butterick B4460. It’s out of print, but I’ve had it forever.
Why a skort? Because I hate shorts, but skirts aren’t practical when you ride your bike everywhere. This one is a lightweight denim chambray. I’ve got a fun turquoise, cream & brown print to make another, and I’m sure I can find something to make a third. I only own one pair of shorts, and thanks to my bike, they’re too big now. So skorts it is!
Thanks to my bike, there’s extra fullness under the back darts. Buns of steel! I need to lengthen the darts to take away that extra. But I’m happy, and they were quick to make!

I think these look fantastic, darlin’. Seriously. Then again, you have the figure for them too. Just a heads up. I want to buy those light blue and silver earrings from you as soon as we get paid…if they will still be available next Wednesday night…I’ll check your store as soon as that day gets here!
Nice work!! Nice rear shot. how the heck did you do that? LOL! I love skirts/skorts much better than regular shorts, they look more flattering!
Sherry, it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere anytime soon
Andrea, I just used the timer on my camera. I like skorts much better than regular shorts too. They have the benefits of skirts, without worrying about the wind
