Elf shorts

A while ago for my school textile project I had to make a pair of pyjama bottoms. I made mine for my little sister. I used a thin green and whit polka dot cotton material and lined the hem with red ribbon, as I finished quicker than expected. My final decoration was the green and red bows.
Once I had finished my classmate commented that they looked like elf shorts, which was kind of cute as I finished them a couple of weeks before Christmas.

This was also the first project I had done using an over locker.
Sadly these shorts no longer fir my sister but I'm keeping them anyway because of the memories they hold and how cute they are.
I hope this has inspired you!

    1. I know they're such a great novelty item, that can be brought out each year. I hope you have fun giving these a try.
