I made this linen shorts several days ago because I need something to wear at home. The linen fabric is only 50 cm, bought already cut and it’s only about $2.

The pattern is Jane from Burdastyle, which is very simple and easy. The fabric wasn’t enough, so I only added 1 cm for the hem and folded it inside, then I sewed a row of cotton lace on it. The cotton lace is from 100 yen shop, talking about cheap project!

I kinda like the first picture, it looks like a picture of a pair of limbs without a body! Very funny. Usually I took pictures in my bedroom, and it means that I have to take all the mattresses out of the room. Today I’m a bit tired to do all of that, so I took pictures in my sewing room. The space is smaller and the lighting is not as good as the other room, but I guess the pictures turned out okay.

This is the chair that I use when sewing, the sewing room used to be my husband’s computer room when he was living a single life. Now the room including the chair is mine. He moved downstairs and now has to work on his notebook while sitting on the floor. Poor husband.

I sit by the window when I’m sewing, and often take a peek outside to see if  Sidra come back from school. I can see him walking along the river from a distance. I love seeing him walking there, sometimes he takes time examining something on the ground or stopping to see the ducks on the river. Then when he gets nearer, I would call his name and wave at him. He would wave back and call my name. That would be the little highlight of my day.

Shorts pattern is Jane from Burdastyle.
