For ‘Flip this pattern’ hosted by Frances Suzanne I flipped the Bubble Pocket Shorts from Elegance & Elephants to a dungaree! And guess what: Heidi gave me the permission to make a tutorial based on her pair of shorts and to share the extra back part pattern with you. So if you feel like flipping this shorts into a dungaree: buy E&E’s Bubble Pockets Shorts pattern for only 9 dollar HERE and request the extra pattern part (all sizes) drawn by me HERE. The full tutorial is on my ‘tutorial page’. A new page on my blog, that I’ll be feeding with some basic tutorials but also with some add on tutorials like this one. Update: this tutorial is not available anymore.
Personally, I love dungarees. It’s just a kids-thing and because I saw others really flipping the Bubble Pockets Shorts for Flip the pattern, I just felt like making a second pair of shorts.
I started from the sailor style Bubble Shorts and changed 3 things:
1. I replaced the bubble pockets to normal flat ones.
2. I extended the centre front part.
3. I drew an extra pattern piece for the dungaree back part.
For this dungarees I used an old pair of pants, so that’s why my pockets are a little bit lower and I had to turn the fabric to cut them and the leg cuffs. I didn’t take a picture of the pants before I started, but this is what’s left of it… Hope you like my flipped creation? If you doubt about buying the E&E pattern to make this pair of dungarees: just treat yourself because this is really my favourite pattern ever!
wonderful! How do they fit? are they loose around the waist area? Would love to see them on a model.
The dungarees and shorts are so adorable. I’d love to make them but all my younger cousins are boys, not girls!
just love them!
Spectacular!!! I’d love to see this on your little model.
I’ll try to take a picture one of the coming days… But as mentioned I didn’t add the waistband elastic. I’m going to open the waistband first and add it, because now it’s still a little bit to wide! M
so seriously cute. What a great remix.
Waistband added! Hopefully one of my daughters is in a photo shoot mood tomorrow morning!
