I recently tested the two newest patterns by Gracious Threads – the Boulder Tee and the Cache Cargo Shorts.
The Cache Cargo Shorts are the perfect addition to my boys’ summer wardrobe. I love the side pockets plus the cargo pockets.
The back flaps are fake pockets (although it you wanted, you could use the welt pockets from the Dax Trousers to make them real).
The shorts have a real working fly – and it isn’t nearly as complicated as I thought it would be!
The Boulder Tee is a quick and easy sew with a couple options – short sleeve or banded 3/4 sleeves, pocket or no pocket, and optional sleeve stripes.
I love the little design element the sleeve stripes add. Such a simple thing yet it makes the t-shirt different from just a plain t-shirt.
I also used it to make a swim shirt for my son. I just made the seams a little deeper so it was a little tighter. The swim shorts are the Monaco Swim Trunks by Peekaboo Pattern Shop. Fabric is from Peekaboo Fabric Shop.
Gracious Threads is having a sale this weekend on all their patterns. I have the Jasper Joggers which I used to make school uniform pants and then I also cut them of to make shorts.
