Women's Coachella Shorts - Tester Round-up

August 22, 2014

The Women's Coachella Shorts were released just over a week ago. Yes, I know...I'm a little late on posting the tester round-up! For those of you that don't know...I also have a shop on Etsy, The Striped Swallow, where I make and sell custom birthday outfits. Keeping up with orders and sewing a bazillion Disney outfits has kept me a little preoccupied this last week. (We are headed to Walt Disney World next month to celebrate Harbor's 3rd Birthday and I might be a little ecstatic!)

Like no joke...a bazillion outfits! And I still have 9 pairs of shorts, 3 twirly skirts and 2 princess dresses to finish. Yikes! Oh and before you think I'm too crazy, those are not all for Harbor :) I'm making outfits for my friends three little girls too!

Ok, back to the subject on hand...tester round-up!! Of course a big thank you goes out to all my wonderful testers! Here are a few of their amazing Coachella Shorts...

The Women's Coachella Shorts pattern includes 3 different rise options (low, mid, high), as well as 2 lengths (2" and 4"). The shorts can be made from knit or woven fabric and they are so comfortable you will seriously want to make a pair for everyday of the week! If you don't own the pattern yet, it's available in the shop here or you can purchase on Craftsy.

I love seeing your creations so if you sew a pair of Coachella Shorts don't forget to post on FB or IG and tag with #coachellashorts. 

...and for the curious ones, there might be a girls fall dress/top pattern in the works.
