My flip : Girlie ruffles bubble shorts with suspenders

I've just started sewing for a while and tried to join in couple series of sewalong as posted in my Flickr. But this is  the first attempt to post it in the blog. (You may notice that this is THE FIRST post of the blog) So, I hope you enjoy it.

The 1st pattern of "Flip this pattern" ,the series hosted by talented Frances Suzanne, is lovely E&E bubble pocket shorts . It's so cute and surprisingly easy to sew. Even me, the naive sewer has no problem to finished the shorts!

And this is how I flip E&E bubble pocket shorts .


I added double layers of ruffles, eyelets and coordinate bias cut gingham to the pockets. These girlie details were add to the suspenders to up level of the sweet-girl looks too.


The shorts turned out sweet as I wish...


My little model was not in the "nice shot" mood. But I tried to pursued her with ice cream. 


Do you think it suits the girl well?

Thank you for stop by!

    YEA YOU!! First of all, I am tickled you linked up to the "Flip this Pattern" sew-along. Second, I am absolutely honored that your entry to it was also your first blog post - how special {we began with flickr about a year ago...just like you did....before the blogging bug bit us}! And thirdly, your "flip" is darling. So feminine with the lace additions and I love your mixing and matching with the fabrics and textures....
