Summer sewing: Linen struggles, hacking shorts and bold stripes #109

Summer has (almost) arrived in Sweden, and Malena and Johanna are ready to talk about warm-weather sewing. It starts with a linen pants therapy session where Johanna has some saggy struggles; luckily, Malena has the solutions.

They move on to shorts and how we can hack our favourite pants sewing pattern into a pair of shorts (hint: the answer might surprise you).

Then Malena pulls out a roll of fabric and asks for advice, and the answer could be...dungarees, or as Johanna says, "own the stripes!"
