Summer sewing: Linen struggles, hacking shorts and bold stripes #109
About this episode
Malena and Johanna discuss summer sewing challenges, including linen fabric issues and creative ways to hack shorts from existing patterns.
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!"
