I can’t remember where I bought this fabric .\u00a0 Because I have a growing pile of charcoal, dark gray, and pepper colored linen in my cabinet.\u00a0 All from different sources; all looking lovely in a stack just waiting for me to sew.\u00a0 I can’t say no!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6498\"<\/a>
\nIt’s such a glorious color + weave combo.
\nIt’s like the weave itself is a pattern design.<\/p>\n

So for Owen’s first day of school, I pulled pepper gray from the beloved stash and sewed my boy some shorts.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How is he getting so old?!
\nI released the KID Shorts pattern<\/a> 2 summers ago….And now he looks like a teenager.<\/p>\n

Okay.
\nSort of. He’s still a goofy almost-8-year-old….who just the other day was teaching Lucy the old fart-noise-under-the-arm move.\u00a0 Don’t you love overhearing tose conversations?\u00a0 As if his methods were something new.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6327\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I know that KID shorts<\/a> are nothing new—you see me sew them time and again.
\nBut I guess that’s the beauty of it.\u00a0 I love sewing them again and again!<\/p>\n

Check out all the options here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"https:\/\/www.madeeveryday.com\/2013\/03\/sripes-checks-and-piping-oh-my.html\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"https:\/\/www.madeeveryday.com\/2014\/08\/kid-shorts-with-knit-fabrics.html\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For these shorts I made the Flat Front,<\/a> with Front Pockets<\/a>, and Piping<\/a>, and Back Pockets<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI was so, so tempted to use orange-red piping on the pockets.\u00a0 But that seemed too expected.\u00a0 Haah.\u00a0 Cause I know that’s what you’re thinking: Orange and gray.\u00a0 Can she do it any other way?
\nYes!\u00a0 I really branched out here….blue!
\nReal revolutionary.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6332\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But I totally love it!
\nThe color pops so well against the gray.<\/p>\n

(If you’ve never worked with piping, watch my detailed video HERE<\/a>)<\/p>\n

And I couldn’t believe it, but Owen finally moved up a size in the shorts pattern.\u00a0 He graduated from a size 6 to a size 8!\u00a0 This kid is growing fast, and usually just UP not out.\u00a0 But I went for the size 8 so he can wear them for longer.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6481\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I put it together with a simple Tee from Target and a new pair of tennies.\u00a0 And the first day of school was ready to go.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6504\"<\/a>
\n\"IMG_6348\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s funny to talk about shorts and school starting, since now it’s rainy\/pants weather.
\nBut I feel nostalgic about the first day and loved putting my outfits together when I was a kid.\u00a0 I’ve gotta document these moments for my kids too.<\/p>\n

Happy 2nd grade Owen!
\nWe love you little dude.<\/p>\n
